]I agree, but I still think the OP's question is perfectly reasonable, as Sklansky and Miller advocate min-raising with "big-pot hands" to raise the stakes.

No reason to laugh at him at all (I know you didn't).

I am not against minraises if you use them sparingly. There should be a reason for every bet you make and a minraise is a good decision if there is a good reason to do it. It is also true that betting pot is not always right, but it is a less expensive error than never betting more than the minimum.

People who are constantly minraising are definitely puting themselves in a vulnarable position. The other players have extra tools in their box, which are making the correct bet sizes when they need to protect their hand, betting enough for value and having only to pay a cheap price for with their drawing hands.

But I think that if it is possible to make a minraise according to the rules of the game, there could be places where it is good strategy to make such a bet. We should be thinking about this topic. I am definitely not laughing at it. (which you were right that I wasn't doing)
