I hate KJo, but...

I limp in this spot in Party SNG's. The minraise means absolutely nothing at all and can be ignored 98% of the time, especially from the BB (with the one exception of 77 from people that like sweetening the pot with any pair. If he has that, oh well.)

So, you've got position on BB, who bet half the pot, and you're either way ahead or way behind. My money is on way ahead, but unlike with AK, you can't let this guy see a free card and you need to know where you stand right now. You certainly don't want him to see a free river.

The pot is 370, you have 550 behind, and you're up against a guy that doesn't know why minraises are bad. Fine. Minimum raise yourself, to about 250; if he calls, push any turn. (You are pot committed anyway, but he sucks. May as well give him two chances to fold. Plus, he'll call a flop minraise with 99 because calling minraises at 10+1 is automatic or something.) If he pushes, look back through his hands and see how he got those extra chips; if he's loose, I'd call, if not, muck it.

I am far more afraid of a BB who *checked*, or a thinking player who limped UTG, than I am of this guy. Play this hand aggressively.

(Note: The last time I saw an SB or BB minraise yesterday, he had K7s. Take this information as you will [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] )
