Here is a blind vs. blind situation where I thought a minraise was ultra-effective. Villian was unknown and open completed. Hero checked Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in BB.

I am reasonably sure he mucks to a bigger raise most of the time and the rest of you should be able to confirm that. In small-medium sized pots, the minraise is extremely effective at milking value from all but the best opponents small-medium strength hands. Ya heard me!!
