point of min reraise

could someone plz explain me point of min reraising, coz i truly don't get it. Players do it all the time, but they don't have any fold equity and they not really building the pot...

Trap or get information

It depends on a few factors that you can analyze in each match:
- Some do this for the purpose of taking an ALL IN;
- Depending on the position, they just want to test the level of the villain's hand;
In my humble view, the main reasons are these; use as a trap and get information.
It's not exactly a re-review, but I'll give you an example that happened on the Cardschat Freeroll:
I from BB took a min raise with blinds of 15/30, I was holding a pair of 5s and called All In, you know what the villain's hand is? "AA" was eliminated at the beginning of the tournament. Trap!
But of course, recreational players still use it just because of the ease of pushing the button.

Good luck!

I also like min raise at the start of the game because it allows me to play more spots and fold my hand more easily if a player raises me. it also allows me to get information about the strength of my opponent's hand. at the end of the game, when the blinds increase. this option can allow you to steal the bilnds at a lower cost especially when you are in position.

Thanks for your thoughts, but im not talking about min raising, i'm talking about min reraising (i mean: i raise 2x, 2,5x and im being reraised by minimum amount of chips possible)

In my experience I mostly min re-raise to gather information, but will occasionally do so in order to throw a player off-kilter when I'm the chip lead. When bets are harder to decipher your opponent is put in a more uncomfortable place. A lot of this would depend upon positioning though.

Thank U 4 posting

Min 3bet is an effective tool used by strong players

However weak players see a strong player do it and they do it without knowing why they are

So what you are seeing is the misuse of a strategy by your player pool. This is why we take notes to know what our player pool is doing wrong and how to use it against them

Hope this helps

I see a lot of players do it, out of pure laziness. It's often referred to as being "clicked back".

The only good spot I can think of is when you're super strong and are looking to build the pot to a point where you can get it all in on the river without making a large over bet.

I do this sometimes (maybe because I'm a bad player), primarily for variance and also to test someone's hand strength. As mentioned, I do this often early in tournaments, but once the blinds get high, it becomes a bad play.

Thanks for reply,
In my case it really feels like most of plrs are using it without any plan what to do next.

Sometimes you can use a min raise to induce a 3Bet.

I don't use min reraising. But I can say that the players adjust your bet and check the severity of your hand. They don't think your bid is high enough in the current situation.
