i can never understand the min raise preflop with 4 players in already!! why only min raise, obviously if they all called 100 they are gonna call another 100!! if u have AA u dont want 4 players in with u (u know your aces will get cracked that way). and if u are raising hoping to get folders, its not gonna happen with min raise!! thoughts all????????
sounds like a value bet...take out the limpers see who if anyone raises or if everyone just flat calls can be a sound play in the right situations and set u up for a nice cash off the flop
I min raise when im deep when BB get to about 1k
when the blinds are huge i can see a min raise!! but always cracks me up when the blinds are under 200!! sorta useless at that point!
min reise with 4 limpers is wrong playits not value its wrong
It's not always wrong. If you have 4 players, and look down at 7-8 suited, you min-raise to build a decent pot without a big investment yourself. You've established the mind-set at the table that you have something but feel weak - you hit, someone might try to push you off the hand and you get some value on that. You don't hit, you can bluff or semi-bluff if everyone else checks the flop.
There are no absolutes like "always wrong" or "always right" in poker.
some people have late position and try and build up the pot preflop with a small pair, or a small suited connector so when they hit.. the pot will have some nice moolah to it, cause of cause the others will call the min raise.
min raise works fine for an open... but if you have a hand like A-K in LP with 3 limpers you are looking for trouble with a min raise. Too much value for the limpers to call imo
good, lots of responses!! was hoping for lots of feedback!! always seeking advice or tips to improve my game!! to me, this is what the forum is for!
I really dont like the min raise, but that just me!!!
I think some people may do it just to grow the pot- this was they can have bigger half pot sized bets going forward in the hand
I suggest don't min raise limped pots. Raise bigger to isolate .
Or if you have a nice hand, you can three bet or four bet.
i min raise because i dont have any chips to raise, might as well raise 100
good question, I also often wonder about it - only reason can be to build a pot from LP with small PP or something like suited connectors I guess.
The Minimum bet is required in maintaining a system of hand, because it allows us to realize the strength of the hand that has the same risk contrary to well with our ...
big raises-big players..thats the way i want to play in every game
You can min raise to try to get some value out of hands that play well multi way like suited connectors.
min raising multi way pots is just asking for trouble.. very fishy move... often youll get raised... then what... don't make the game harder than it needs to be.... just my opinion.
Yeah your money won shows thats a GREAT strat!! Some of you just dont really think do ya? LOL splashing chips around doesnt mean anything other then ur a fish/maniac.Quote:

I know most of you would NEVER fold AA but thats why your not players. There are some good reasons to min raise and maybe if some of you would actually study up on poker you would/could learn some things LOL
