mx957 0 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Why is every hand that get's posted have a "don't mind the misclick" in it? It seems that everytime someone posts a hand history they get defensive about they way they played it and then cover it with "it was a misclick"Admit you played it that way and deal with the comments, it might help in the long run.

psujohn 0 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Actually I don't mind the min-raise pre at all. Early in tournies I like to play some speculative hands speculatively. You don't have a lot of FE generally so a big raise is a spew. I even find it's generally hard to take down a flop with a c-bet though once it's heads up I'd c-bet a flop like this about 100%. I don't like open limping since it just invites too many completely random hands though with a small pair I'm not terribly concerned about randoms. So yeah I'll open min-raise or open for 2.5X a lot in spots like this.Of course there will be a chorus of people who once read "don't min-raise" who don't understand why they're not supposed to min-raise who'll scream that it's horrible to ever min-raise. I enjoy having such people as my opponents. Link to post Share on other sites

Min-raise with ~45bb is fine, especially if he mixes up his hand strength with min-raises or he never has before. Flop and turn standard. Link to post Share on other sites
psujohn 0 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Yeah I was just responding to Ron's post. If it really was a misclick then fine - but it happens to be that the min-raise wasn't a bad option there. If it wasn't a misclick you have nothing to be ashamed of.Obv this isn't even a strat post but I like Ron's point - don't cover something up saying it was a misclick if it wasn't. Often times someone will post - what should I do on the turn - when the real answer is "you shouldn't be in this spot on the turn ever". Link to post Share on other sites

Min-raises are criticized way too much, they definitely have value in the right situations. Link to post Share on other sites

Min-raises are criticized way too much, they definitely have value in the right situations.I was just yanking the dude's chain a little. Raising in MP to LP with a small pocket pair is considered by many to be a little leaky - however there was no action before us. Betting after three overs and two hearts on the Flop? That is more questionable, but to each his/her own especially since it was checked to us. You're absloutely correct though - Certainly not horrible nor even really "overplayed" as I had indicated earlier. Link to post Share on other sites
