Apart from that I can hardly see a reason to ever laugh at somebody seriously asking a question in a forum.

I would love if that's all someone has ever done to me on this forum...lol.

Get over it. Just because I lmao to his min-raising pre-flop suggestion doesn't mean I wouldn't be open to ever doing it. I just think it's silly is all. If you're going to raise to build the pot, you might as well make it more than 2xbb (at least 2.5xbb, and yes, the .5 adds up), or if you're going to raise and hope you gain information by your opponents calling, you should certainly raise more than 2xbb (you're getting called with a wide range, so you gain no real information).
He mentioned building the pot for when you hit. Why not make it 2.5-4xbb? 2xbb raises pre-flop just seem senseless in no limit. This isn't new.
