Default Re: Why is minbetting and limping in position -EV?

As a standard line, it's incorrect. Limping applies no pressure to your opponent, and really dosen't exploit the edge you receive while in position.
Minraising is rather fishy because your opponent has immediate odds to call you with any two cards, and implied odds usually through the roof.

That said, the openlimp and the minraise cannot be simply dismissed out of hand forever and ever amen. There are opponents and situations where they become acceptable, or even +EV, but as a standard line, no.
