That line is completely wrong on so many levels.
Count the money behind. Outside of balance issues, it's not that bad.
I don't understand, explain please. Tiny raises and underbets are just not the way I play no-limit hold'em, but maybe I need to open my mind to a few situations where they have merit.
One situation where I sometimes use the minimum raise. I have a decent hand on the turn, I think it's the best but it's not good enough to withstand any action. A guy bets into me and I think he's full of crap, but I'm not sure. I minimum raise in position to make my hand look stronger than it is, so I can hopefully get a free showdown on the river.
This hand is from an 11+rebuys tournament, stacks are deep enough that it plays like a cash game at this point. The guy just folded, I was expecting him to call and check the river and I was going to check behind.
