Don't want to hijack the thread of anything lol! The 'min-raise' in your example was a truly awful bet. However i think there's a time and a place to use it. Off the top of my head, when you hold the nuts on the turn and a player bets into you. if the pot is small enough a min-raise will keep him in, whilst a bigger riase may cause them to fold. Or by check min-raising on the flop or turn if the board is paired you can represent a bigger hand than you have.
Likewise on the river a min raise or a chk min-raise often gets paid off whilst a bigger bet may not!

Now where's my flame proof suit...
