Yeah that is kinda what I mean,
I still re-raise to protect or to get value,
I use to like playing a very aggressive game and liked to re-raise with the intention on stealing maybe a little too often im not sure whether its good or bad... As above poster mentioned it depends on the stakes we are playing.
Now though where we can play more a pot control style where we may call down villain alot more rather than trying to take down the pot earlier.
my thoughts are this is prob ok as long as we are not to passive and know when to fold,
It might be a case where both styles can be profitable it just depends on the players ability.
Im just not 100%
