    p.s. the reason I minraised, indeed the only reason I played at all, was because the BB was incredibly weak tight.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    I'm folding this 6-handed from UTG. Sure, BB may have been incredibly weak tight but you still have the other 4 players to worry about.

    As played, I bet a little less on the flop. With 675 in the pot 400 should do it, if BB is weak tight and called your minraise he probably has you beat, and this loses you 200 less chips.

    Ok fine if you're the button or SB. But u can't minraise like that UTG. You're gonna get called.
    pulling a courtiebee pŏŏl-ĭng ā kôrt-ē-bē (verb phrase):
    1. overvaluing mid pocket pairs
    2. knowing you should fold, but donkishly calling or raising anyway

    whats your read on button?

    i think that even if both players are weak tight, with a min raise, theres a decent chance one of them caught a piece, even though the board is so ragged. dont really like UTG min raise - if youre gonna raise, make a real raise

    my read was all of these players were pretty terrible.

    If I make a real raise I am practically committed to calling a push by one of the shortstacks here.

    Then you will most certainly not do well making big bets with crap hands that have no showdown value.

    True, so just fold.

    I would want a far stronger hand to raise here from UTG.
