I don't know what it is about min raises but I hate them.
I want to punish the people who min raise by playing any 2 cards, running them down and making them pay for their stupid min raise.
Any thoughts on the psychology of the min raise and why people do it? |

| I think you answered your own question - it simply tilts some players into playing for stacks... |

| Min-raising wouldn't be so bad if it was done, say - when folded to on the button. But when you've got 5 limpers and the big blind min-raises... yes, that makes me want to punch myself. |

| For the most part min-raising is a very bad move..but there are times when this move could work for you....oh and SGTChuck...be advised that in a middle of a tourney or SnG...fishy type players use min-raises when they have a monster to "build the pot" ...so next time you see a min-raise dont automatically assume its a crappy hand.... |

I've wasted loads of money with min raises. Hate them but always get trapped. |

In my experience, a min-raise is sometimes a subsconcious bet masking a monster hand. A min-raise is not a real bet and it shouldn't run anyone off. The only real point is to commit everyone to donating and building the pot and pot odds for later.
I've seen sooooo many hands where a player hit trips on the flop or a straight and made a min-raise. I don't believe this as a rule, but I'm VERY CAUTIOUS when a min-raise comes out.  |
