On Poker: Min-raising in no limit Hold’em
Many poker books make the claim that it’s never correct to raise the minimum amount in no limit Hold’em. I disagree. It’s a mistake to use the words never or always with regards to how to play a poker hand. At PokerVT.com, I teach my students that sometimes making a min-raise really is the best play available.
