I agree - mostly.  Online, at a full table, with everyone, or most people with healthy stacks, minraises don't achieve nearly what a normal 3-5BB raise does.  I actually hate them, and laugh at anyone who does them.   I hate seeing some players here that I know to be playing for a while post a hand with say AJ for a minraise from EP with the blinds at 30/60.  One thing I found strange and actually shocked me was seeing how Harrington had little to no problem with minraises.  He actually suggested them, stating that you raise with AA for [B]2[/B]-4 BBs in EP with AA (quote me if I'm wrong, but it's something like that).  Of course his strategy is meant for big buyin (ie 10K) tourneys, but even so the raise doesn't accomplish what a normal 3BB raise would.  Your thoughts on Harrington's opinion?  Mine are genuinely confused; I don't see how he can see a minraise as a good play, with the exception of mixing your play up.

One situation in which minraises are fine is heads up.  The suggested raise from action Dan is 2-2.5BBs, but I mostly stick to 2.5 to 3 online since players will call with most cards for a minraise.
