What hell is with all the miniraises?

[DaCooler]

The last month i swear to god ive seen a 200% increase in the amt. of miniraises and minibets, and frankly i want to jump off a cliff. Anyone else experiencing this? Did a NEW book come out? Are they misinterpreting DNegreanu play in tourneys and Gavin Smith? What the hells going on here, it CANT be profitable

I see two kinds of min-bets. For pot control and for value. One wants a call, the other a raise.

I see the "I wanna bluff you but Im not willing to put in a healthy bet" - minbet fairly often, too.

HAHAHAH I GOT MINRAISED SO MUCH TODAY

I think its generally accepted as a truth that minraises are becoming much more popular and harder to read. Someone have a few lines they like to play vs minraises depending on the situation?

Thanks.

Call/Raise

Raise

Fold

It's very tough to read. I always like to think its a "I want to bluff you but not commit too much" bet. But it could be anything. As of yet I haven't figured a way out of tackling it.

I feel like minraises are weak hands more often than strong hands. Recently, I have been reraising over minraisers and often they fold. Taking note of what people minraise with is one of the most frequent types of notes I have on people.
