That was a very informative thread. I was wondering if you adjust the play for normal freerolls. When I am in a buy in tourney I play (or atleast try to play) solid poker. I try not to limp, raise 3x blind but early in a freeroll I found people were insta calling me with any 2 cards in hope of getting lucky. This lotto poker style really messes with your ability to put your opponent on a hand. How do you counter it?
AG, told me god kills a puppy everytime you min raise. No way I will be responsible for that.
I just did a min raise from UTG (A5s) in a cash game and ended up with an A high flush on the turn and a pot that was 7x the BB. Is the advice in this thread only for tourney play?

I've become a fan of minraising on the full tilt freerolls because a lot of people
are sitting out and this way you steal their blinds
min-raising A5s from UTG in general is not a good play. And are you telling me that you only got an extra 1.5 big blinds after the preflop action with the nut flush (you raise to 2, he calls, that's 4 in the pot and you only won a pot that was 7)?
MINRAISING = -EV in every non fixed limit game! You are getting minimal value out of your hands by doing it. The only idiots who do it do not know how to bet their hands to get action/do not think about the game/do not have any clue how to put other people on a specific hand range...it's dumb in every aspect and people that do it should quit playing poker.
