What makes it worse is that I KNOW when you've been walking all over someone for several pots and they raise you it means 99% of the time they've just hit something sweet, but I shoved anyway. Quality bump m2m.
Minbets are used a lot by microstakes players. I rarely know what they mean. I've seen them used as value bets and bluffs. I've seen them used with HUGE hands to induce a raise (as Luco described). They rarely mean the same thing by two different villains...but it is very interested to see them used. I've had villains bet $.10 into a $1.50 pot. I would raise and he would RERAISE me. I was completely thrown off. Of course I folded the hand, but the minbet just fucks with me.
