This is a hypothetical question based on something which i come across quite often.
When playing a cash table and sat to the right of a player who is multi-tabling (8 tables+), whenever I'm the SB and the blinds fold around to me I min raise. Most of the time the BB automatically folds (presumably hitting the 'fold to any raise' button).
Now, this wins me more money than I loose, so the question I have is this;
Baring in mind I give the BB the right price to call most hands, is the min raise still profitable (because it makes me money in the short term) or is it wrong (because long term I'm giving him the right odds to call)?
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums?

IMO its wrong becouse you must think on long term. I never act this way even if i know the BB is playing 8+ tables and he's a rock. This kind of raises can get you in some trouble and the $ doesnt worth it.
+ I respect the BB, i dont like stealing
