Why would anyone raise 2x the blind?

I think a lot of people do it because there is a button for it. On UB you see a lot more people betting the pot. I think a lot of people want to raise, and find the raise button the most convenient.

Agreed. Not sure if everyone wants to convince Party to add a "bet pot" button.

lol, yeah this would not be good since the bet pot allows players to play better unintentionally.

I've minraised like that to test for a limp re-raise by an early player. If he comes in for a big raise, I dump the hand.
