This is my first hand at the table, and I've never played with villain before. So absolutely no reads. This is probably the first time in my life that I haven't raised preflop with AA, and I did it hoping villain might be making a loose raise in the hijack seat and I want him along for the ride.
Is this too fancy? Or should plays like these have a place in my repertoire?
