Alan Goehring on min raising - do you agree?

[registrar]

I have been educated out of min-raising (mostly)by 2+2.

However, in the home games in which my poker instincts were first honed, it used to be very profitable. You act in a slightly menacing way by raising all the time, you sweeten the pot and make it more scary dealing with 'reasonable bets' as doyle has it, you get to see a lot of flops with unreadable cards, it terrifies the table when you stack someone with having min-raised 47 pre-flop.

However, it's a style that requires two things:

1. lots of flops
2. Opponents being scared of large bets

It is not, then, a style suited to online tournament play.
