When did this forum turn into 2+2 ?
To the OP:
You are not playing tight. You play too many hands and you go too far with them.
This is a very hard question to answer since there are so many variables in poker. You have to take what you know about your opponents, as well as all prior action into account in the hand.
A couple general rules: You are more apt to have the best hand with a K or Q than an A, since so many players will have play any A.
Good observation about the minraise not pushing players out. Understand though, that it would often be incorrect for them to fold if you did minraise, since they will be getting good odds on a call.
You need to take into account what you know, and when you raise, raise for value. Information should be a side effect of your raises, not a purpose for them. If you think that given what you know up to this point, you often have the best hand, put in a substancial raise of at least 3x the original bet, or the size of the pot, whichever is more. Their action based on your raise should give you a great idea of where you stand.
