i minreraise out of spite (no joke), but i find that is actually quite a cool line to take; you are not really trying to price anything out of the pot, and it is a fairly cheap and effective way of discovering whether or not you are beat, whilst quite probably getting maximum value from worse hands. gotta fight minraises with minraises and kick this guy's ass all the way back to fixed limit!

having said all that, minraising sucks, so i strongly suspect my post it flawed. as i stated at the beginning, i do it out of spite (i really really really hate being minraised, it insta tilts me, mega leak on my behalf), and i came up with the strategic justification after, so i doubt the move has any real value. god i love making plays out of spite though. probably worth it just for satisfaction value.
