miniraising limpers from the BB?

[kurto]

It's bad. If there are any good or even aggressive players, they'll put in a big reraise.

The point of small pp's is to hit it a set. The whole idea is to see a flop cheaply. By doubling the cost for you to see a flop, you're only punishing yourself.

Frankly, I laugh at people who would minraise from the button. Its almost always a sign of a bad player.

I can't tell you the number of times I've seen this:

4-5 limpers... button or BB minraises... a few callers; someone pushes, everyone including the minraiser folds. Same with the people who minbet the flop from early position. They're almost always huge fish. They throw a little money out giveing EVERYONE correct odds for any draw and, if anyone has a hand and raises, they fold. So, they just donated charity.

Though I don't want to discourage you from doing it. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

If this is true that aggressive players put in a big reraise after a min raise, I wonder if it would be a good strategy to put in a min raise with aces. Then after they put in a big reraise *pow* come over the top of them.
