No to make it less likely we get rebluffed because some people have the ability to spot minraises.

He is WAY more likely to "take his odds" with spades or J9 vs a minraise than to jam over it after you called flop and minraised turn, if that is in fact what he has. Our flat call/minraise turn line may very well look very scary to him, as it looks like we are trying to keep him in with a huge hand, and doesn't look like a semibluff. Raising more obviously has the advantage of charging more if he has a draw, but I am not doing it because it "looks stronger" and im scared of him jamming. If Jim thinks its far more likely for him to have a hand like JT/QT/KT than a semibluff, and hed call the minraise but not the 250 because it looks "stronger", what would you prefer to do? I'm fine with Jim's play here.
