Default Re: Minraising - play along hand

[ QUOTE ]
I disagree it gives away my hand completely...the minraise is often a probe or a bluff and its used so often that it doesn't raise a lot of suspicion...at least at 25NL.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know if I agree w/ reading a min raise as a probe. A min bet, ok. But a min raise? I can't imagine trying to find out where I stand by min raising a bettor who has already indicated at least some kind of strength. Unless I want it to be perceived as a strong move, in which case it's not really a probe.

Default Villain\'s next play

So he minraises me back!

Preflop: Hero is dealt J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5 Players)
2 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $1.00</font>, SB calls $0.90, BB folds

Flop: ($2.25) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $1.50</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $3.00</font>, <font color="red">SB raises to $4.50</font>, Hero??

So I'm in a bit of unfamiliar ground because of my minraise but I think I'm now WA/somewhat-behind.

I don't want to act like a douchebag but.. there is NO place for a minraise EVER.
It totaly gives away your hand right here.

[/ QUOTE ]

Listen to the douchebag [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
He is spot on.

Raise flop to $7.75 and call a shove.

I'm a firm believer in "any rule in poker that says 'always' or 'never' is always wrong".

This belief is always wrong [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] (really, it is, for reason stated by douchebag)
