I read a post where Daniel Negreanue advocates min-raising your entire range (including suited connectors, high cards, any ace suited, any king suited), not continuation betting the flop as much, and waiting until you make a strong hand to bet. Um, does this actually work for anyone? I realize this is completely at odds with SSNLHE strategy but Daniel claims he moved up rapidly at the lower stakes. Anyone have success with this?

Recently I moved to a site where tables like in live games (or softer :D), and I quickly changed my complex strategy to a small ball or at least simillar to it. Having said that I don't like to minraise big hands, I want to collect the max from my loose opponents, but I also like to keep the pot small with my speculative hand so I come out for 3BB or something like that. I don't cbet much as a bluff b/c they call with K high and shit like that and don't give up on turn and river. And yes small ball made me a ton of money, its not a good idea in though games, but in soft games its like printing money :D

W/ all due respect you are misinterperating the sb strategy. It's best used for deepstacked tourneys 1st of all. He says reduce tour bet size to 2.5x not 2 x. He says cbet accoring to flop texture hust like everyone else. Dont create controversy where there is none.
