Exploring The Mind of the MIN rayzor

Pictured above me bud, crazy, chip launchin' madman Matt "BornSupreme". We had a nice chat on IM last night and he promised to play a donkament or 3 with me this Sunday night at UB. I also had a fun phone speak with 2 of my veteran sharkees today. Guy "pokerpadre" and Joanne "sempaijo" from So Carolina are doing fine and will be playing in a few October events with us. Look for a few forum posts from them this week and drop a post on them and say hi.


MM's


I'm intrigued by MIN rayzors in NL poker. Why would you want to play poker non-aggressive and weak? We all know the aggressive players have a substantial edge. Maybe for many it's just convenient. Nothing is easier then hitting the bet button when the MIN rayz is already posted on your screen. Or maybe they still think they are playing LIMIT and thats the max rayz.

Maybe I rode the short bus, but I like to think about what i'm doing and then bet accordingly. I mix up my bets but I never, ever MIN bet. I'd love to hear some different theories on MINny mouses. Don't be shy, if you are a MM lets us know what your strategy is. Maybe i'm goofy and it has a place in NL poker.

I think most of the time they have a strong hand. Especially if they have weak tight stats. Any see % under 23% with very weak aggro stats (under 2.0 or so) would qualify. Look up their check rayz stats and "rayzes continuation" bet stats also. If the trend is they are a weak player in these areas I usually fold if MIN boy MIN rayzes or MIN check rayzes. Of course you pound them back with a real rayz if ya got da goods or are drawin strong.

3 day weekend for me this week! Friday i'm barbecue grill shoppin, and a costco run is scheduled. Then maybe a little NL at Tulalip Casino.

I have noticed a HUGE upswing in hands played by Shark members at all our sites the last 5 days or so. Summers over in the USA, its getting dark earlier and peops are playin da pokers. If you are a real money shark player I appreciate your support. If you are a medium to large volume player email me for a kickback plan so I can pad yer roll each month.

We have the best PHO (pronounced "fuh") restaurant in town near my work. If you have not tried this tradional vietnamese noodle soup you need to git er dun.

I'll post my table selection blog I mentioned ASAP. I'm hangin out on IM more the last few days, drop in and say howdy ya laggs.
