Ya this is a question for Daniel and FCP, recently I noticed him use the mini raise consistantly on the cash games on stars and at the WSOP, just curious why he does this exactly, it can't be to conserve chips since he does it in the cash games to so fill me in?

In cash games he uses it to? Does that mean he hardly re-raises pre flop as well?

I think it's because he doesn't want to fold preflop
Do you see why?

Do you see why?
Plus, i'm guessing, like his HU strat - if they reraise, they have to commit alot more chips to do so

im still not sold that many of these people that get these big online scores are winners when it comes to the live game, which, by the way, is real poker.

his VT poker poker program is awesome it's improved my poker game in a short time span,
and I love the small ball game, yesterday I went to Casino Niagara played the small ball game playing 1/2 NLH from 2:30-1130 last night came home with $800 but there were lot's of fish at my table.

It's essentially a slight improvement to small ball and the key reason I go from2.5x to 2x is because there is NO ante. If there is an ante I'd go with 2.5. It's just making sure that I'm not paying an overly big price to steal the blinds. 800 to win 600= 4/3 where as 1000 to win 600 is 5/3
