Re: FUCKIGN MINRAISERS
Big Jim:
I have actually bothered to think about this exact scenario and have taken a poll from 2+2-ers on the subject. I stated that most respondents think the min-raise means the nuts. I doubt this majority view is "completely incorrect", although it is certainly not impossible that you are miles ahead of the average poster.
If this is the case I'm not surprised you keep your valuable insight to yourself. I on the other hand have made my views clear in this situation; top choice - fold (as suggested by the poll results), next (by a long way) raise.
If you merely call you have delayed the exact same difficult decision to the turn, whilst potentially paying off better hands in the process. His small bet might mean the nuts, his large bet could mean the nuts, a non-bet could be a slow-play. Perhaps though you hit one of your 5 outs. Would you usually call a large bet with 5 outs? If you do is your 2-pair good or does he now have the full-house? Over 80% of online players are losers, I wonder what percentage of 2+2-ers pay their mortgage from the game like I do.
