    Default LC: One of the few times I'll minraise ($16)

    This is second hand. This is one of the few times I'll minraise - a) it looks more like I'm trying to bluff him out and b) if I push over he might well fold. If he hadn't overbet the pot on the turn I wouldn't have done this though.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    CO (t1500)
    Button (t1490)
    SB (t1480)
    BB (t1500)
    UTG (t1500)
    Hero (t1500)
    MP1 (t1530)
    MP2 (t1500)
    MP3 (t1500)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 2, 2.
    1 fold, Hero calls t20, 3 folds, CO calls t20, Button calls t20, SB completes, BB checks.

    Flop: (t100) 2, 8, 9 (5 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets t100, CO calls t100, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds.

    Turn: (t300) 8 (2 players)
    Hero checks, CO bets t360, Hero raises to t720, CO raises to t1380, Hero calls t660 (All-In).

    River: (t3060) 6 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: t3060

    Sorry Tai but that looks like standard donkey 'I have a monster' play to me. Have you ever seen this as a bluff because I sure haven't!

    Yeah, I've seen the bluff check/min-raise all the time. When you push over these guys doing this they fold! Guess I could have shoved over after the overbet but hey, sometimes you gotta "tickle their balls" to make them bite back

    I have never ever seen the dreaded check/minraise that wasn't a monster.
