$22 - If you follow me let me see you put them hands up like a robbery

[jeffraider]

I frequently minbet dudes when they check to me and it's a highly profitable play but I've been feeling like I'm on the wrong end of it a lot recently so I've started raising with air in spots like this the odd time whenever it smells funny or they've done it to me before.

What do you guys think? I'm against fancy play at the 800-chippers but I think this kind of move may be a permanent part of my game now.

In both of these hands villains had previously open-completed and then minbet right away, so I did have a read to go with each move.
