Default Re: Min bets slow me down...

I like to treat them as a check without a strong read. Call when you normally would have checked and raise to the amount you would have bet if this actually was a check instead of a minbet.
This way you don't give any information with your reaction and the costs are often too small to really matter. Your opponent on the other hand often gives a lot of information making this play. The trick is to find out what it means for this particular opponent, because it could be anything from a blocking bet, a standard bet for value, a small value bet with the nuts that doesn't want you to fold or a 'feelerbet'... I like to play a lot of drawing hands against these players, because they often allow you to draw cheaply.
