If everyone like to just call the MIN. is it good to raise on the BB to scare or have the people who dont have a good hand fold.....even if your hand is a medium pair like 8-8 to j-j or two paint cards.

I have done this on line and at casinoes and it seem to make more than 50% drop out. IS THIS A GOOD MOVE or am i waisted another 2 bucks or 3 bucks. ( LL games)

In low limit games its a waste of money. If you raise it (2 bet) I doubt anyone will fold. The odds are there to definetly call.!!!

I will raise for value with hands I think are probably best at the table at that moment. While it's true I will not make as much money on later betting rounds as I could in better position, and I will have to fold hands like AK if I don't hit, I figure I will win more than my share of the extra bet going in and if anyone folds it's a bonus.
