i know im gona get criticized here but thats what im looking for.2/5 motor city casino, ive been at the table for maybe fifteen minutes.(its the main game, not must move) i have noticed that its either limp, call...or raise call, so im not worried about getting 3 bet here and if i do, someone has a monsterhero is on button w/j9 off and i raise to $15 (500 effective)five people limped in front so i decided to make a pot with this hand because i know i can steal.after i raise, there is only me, the bb and the hjpot is 55$flop is qh,10c,kdcheck,checki make it thirty, bb makes it 70, hj folds.(and complained about having aq,wtf?)this guys and idiot, but he well could have aj here, and if he does and i raise, hes shovin. a set im not sure, two pair or top pair gk hes callingi make it 140 for reasons stated above, he calls HALLILUIA!!!turn is a blank 4, bb checks, i shove he calls and confidently shows q10, river 3. and he explodes about how bad i suck,what a donk i am and how he cant wait to stack me(through the night i stacked him twice more)i know it was a loose open but i had position, i knew i had a good chance to steal if flop appeared to hit me and i could win a big pot if i got lucky,though i could have easily got killed by aj but i could have folded if i thought i was beat given primary apponent(i think haha). my question is, i like to mix it up. some of those guys are very good and i dont want to be piogen holed. i play there alot and against of some of the same people. is this strategy a bad thing? is it in the long run a leak? so far, i think no, but i only play live so its a small sample size. any other thoughts are aprriciated too. thanks in advance
