The SNG dos and don'ts really applies to lower buyin SNGs (say $16 and below) and against bad players at any buyin level. Bad players are generally calling stations who call too loose, and if you minraise preflop you're getting the worst of both worlds:
- If you have a weak hand and are stealing, you reduce your fold equity by minraising
- If you have a strong hand, you reduce the amount of chips that you can get into the pot by minraising.
Once you get to high buyins, I think a minraise can be quite an effective tool against the right players, but even at the $27/$38/$60 level that I have played, most raise 2.5x BB once the blinds get to 50/100.
