who's your villain? Why are you miniraising?

I know they say not to go broke in a limped pot, but I shove over the re-raise. Looks for all money like you're up against a worse 9.

Oh, and used properly the miniraise is divine, not dreadful. That's the most widely propogated myth on 2+2.

I'm thinking I can get some value out of a T by minraising.
I don't think calling the raise is bad, I need to be good about 30% here.

"SB ($37.91) (86/29/oo/17) (7h)"

Just push when he leads the river. He's never folding a 9 and with stats like that he may not fold a ten.

Minraising is also OK because he will 3-bet nearly 100% of the time with a 9 since he's shortstacked and might even think you are full of it and try to push to get you off your hand.

those stats are over 7 hands so they may not be accurate. I get your point though.

Oh man, I didn't see how short SB is as well. You really have to shove 100% here.
