Minimum raise pre flop

[heniek31]

Can some one explain to me, what is the purpose of this bet? Apart from holding AA or KK. I find it useless and it doesn't exist in my arsenal. I never do it and if any one catches me with it, I will pay them 20 bucks. I have just had this 3 times in one tournament (7 players at the table) and after my re raise all in each one was folded. I really don't see the point. Does it makes me poorer player? Please enlighten me :unsure.

Re: Minimum raise A few weeks ago i would have been someone who does do the minimum reraise now and again. Since playing coolers I have realised just how useless it is. for me it is either big raise or fold. very rarely if ever do I call unless I am calling all in as big chip leader or with rockets.
