Hey all.

I accidentally signed up or one of these and found them to be a nice change of pace. The turbos are cool as well.

I don't play PLO that much but do like it and will occationally play a SnG.

In these HU matches I have found that many players will min-raise preflop almost every hand. Is this a PLO tactic or them just being JOs.

My only guess is they are trying to build the pot for future betting rounds in case they hit their hands. They obviously can't have "raising hands" every hand.

Any help apprieciated.
Why is it a penny for your thoughts but
you have to put your 2 cents in??

Somebody's making a penny!!

Partially pot building, partially trying to frustrate the opponent into overplaying a weak hand.

And partially to go to the flop while leading the betting. It's not a bad strategy, but I wouldn't min bet every single hand. Probably the top 40-60% of my hands though.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
