Concept No. 55: Unlike limit, limping first in on the button is frequently correct.

In this section it talks about raised on the button with hands like J9s cuts down on your implied odds (600 stack, 5-10blinds, with a PRasie to 30 you cut down implied odds from 600-10 to 600-30).

my question is: What about min raises from the button with a hand like J9s (or small pocket pairs/ A-X suited - hands that have potential play well after the flop and can win big pots) in order to make a bigger pot for the times you do hit - since it wont be multiway. any theories/ideas/experiences?

So you are going to min-raise speculative hands like J9 and A-x suited? There are a lot of obvious problems. A player with even the slightest amount of analytical ability will soon figure out what you are doing. Dont vary preflop raises depending on your holding.

Another problem I can think of is HUD-stats. If the bb calls your minraise he could literally have any two cards. Your stats won't help putting villain on a range(they might even trick you)

I bet a non-fish will give a more relevant comment soon.
