Thoughts on the min raise preflop

Im sure you all have noticed, like i have, over the last few weeks the min raise pre is becoming a standard play. It used to me my goal to punish minraisers, and it used to be very profitable. Now it seems the min raise is so standard that you no longer can take this action profitably.. the min raise could be anything from 67s, to TT to AA to AK... it just seems its the new standard raise.

Seems we went from 3x, to 2.5x to now just 2x. I myself am not going to take this action but do you agree that the min raise is the new standard 3x raise for a lot of players and do you treat it that way?

pearljammer? 1350 at 300/600? would like some thoughts on this too. I personally don't do it and/or like it.

no misunderstood... i hate it... i will never do it the question is with it becoming so much more popular do you treat it like a standard 3x raise now where a month ago you wouldnt... how do you react to it is what im trying to ask

If the miniraiser or 2.2xBB raiser is a good player, you are not going to get a lot of information from the bet size. I would call lighter from the blinds though.

i dislike the 2.2 to 2x raise...i like 2.5 to 2.7...i think you have to adjust it or at least be able to to adjust to your table correctly....i dont like PJs 2.2 raises, seems like your asking to get flatted in position by good players who can outplay you...
