NO .
NO.
and NO.
1. You want to be called .. But not by everyone and their brother.
2. I do not fear someone drawing out on me? You should always fear that someone is going to suck you out. How do you know what they are attempting to do PF anyways?
3. It doesnt matter if they call or not. It matters at this point if you play correctly PF. Always Raise your hands. They will eventually get used to you raising a certain amount and start calling.
MINRAISING= I have never seen this in any Poker Book, forum, or recommended by any real poker player EVER !.
I fully agree. I was trying to describe a situation in response to the question - should you never min-raise. The conditions I laid have to all be present and will not occur that often and will never occur pre-flop (at least that I can see). The situation I see it happening most is on the river.
I have had situations where my 3x raise on the river was folded to. In these situation a min-raise may have generated the call I was looking for.
I was not trying to state that min-raises should be common practice just that there may be some situations, though limited, that it can be of some use.
How often do I min raise? Hardly ever. I have though used it on rare occasions where I feel an opponent is just hanging on and I am trying to draw out more chips (ex. opponent looking for flush draw on the turn river when I have the boat or quads). If for a second I think my opponent will throw in his chips, I'm putting in a larger raise.
