Default Re: FUCKIGN MINRAISERS

>>> Why do you want him to fold if he's bluffing? WHAT AMOUNT ARE YOU RAISING TO? Also, as others have pointed out, some people minraise with nonsense like K9. I don't think calling is much worse than folding, if it's worse at all, but raising is definitely at the bottom of the pile, covered in poo. <<<


I'm envisioning you now at the bottom of that pile you mention, hmmm. You make a compelling and highly intellectual argument for calling the flop bet. Why not call a turn and river bet also by the same reasoning, and just in case he may be bluffing. In fact why not call all bets and raises just in case, well if you never ever raise you'd never know...

You're missing the point...if you raise, you blow all hands that you beat out of the pot. If you call, some of those same hands will continue giving you money.

If you're beat, you're losing your stack 100% of the time when you raise, unless you're raising some magical amount that you can get away from, which is why I continue to ask you HOW MUCH YOU WOULD RAISE.
