yeah, I have seen that too - IMO a CLEVER player might min-raise the flop with a monster. Bad players do it because they have a crappy hand and are trying to see if you missed the flop, or just to slow you down - I re-raise a min-raise on that flop - The main reason is I don't want to get more involved on the Turn & River - I would rather take down the pot right then...If they call the 3 bet, it's time to slow down, i think...but I think folding to a min-raise there is better than just calling - 1 pair hands don't have a lot of outs when your behind - Its better to take down the pot and/or know if your really behind...Originally Posted by relayer
I've read this advice here many, many times and I certainly take heed of it. However, at PokerRoom $25NL, the great majority of players have absolutely no clue how to bet their hands. Minbets and minraises simply do not correlate to particular hand strengths. Until villain shows me otherwise, I assume he is typical, and a minraise could mean absolutely anything.
BTW, at this site and at this level, pot sized bets are almost non-existent (except from me.)
