Play a hand with me (NLTRN)

[HokieGreg]

I minraise with 30-35 bb effective stacks.

Also consider 3-bet/shoves you'll face. The more you commit preflop the wider range you're going to have to call a shove or the less hands you'll be able to raise preflop if villain is playing correctly.

It also makes it easier for villain to play correctly as a lot of villains shove too often here. For those that don't, you can almost minraise ATC because often those types of players are going to call way too tight if they're scared to 3-bet you PF.

Wow, this is why I love this thead. It's caused me to rethink and learn more about some fundamentals of my game that I might never have thought about before. This whole min-raising thing is fascinating.

If we were still even at closer to 1500 each, I'd want to raise to 125 or 150, but with effective stacks of 1k, I like 100, even if I almost never actually do it, because I'm almost never playing against opponents who will reraise me frequently. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Excellent points. I especially like the last point. I think a lot of villains will fail to adjust accordingly against a minraise with ATC.

Great analysis like this seems few and far between nowadays. But maybe I spend too much time reading the HSP threads in the TV forum. I'm gonna have to reread your pooh-bah post.

Good point about the draw to the nuts..but this flop is just too uncoordinated/misses way too many hand to not try to take this down with a c-bet. Go with the high percentage play.

I love this min-raise discussion...its something important that I never really considered. If villain is calling too tightly anyway, there's no point to make it 3x with a marginal hand like K7o. Great thread.
