If you read anything Sklansky ever wrote, when he talks about ante stealing in any poker game, the hands you steal with matter. Stealing is generally a form of semi-bluff. You have two...

I can't see open-raising from the CO with 37o as a good play regardless of the tightness of the SB and BB. You need a hand you can play postflop with when the BB decides to defend.

Re: Party 5/10 AQs vs LAG
I think you should 3-bet this hand pre-flop. It would help define his hand more postflop.
There are times when I would 3-bet the flop here, and other times when I would fold to a check-raise. ...

There is no reason to raise the flop. I think people raise unimproved overcards on the flop way too often simply because they are the pre-flop raiser.

I'm really hoping you missed the fact that shant picked up an extra 9 outs on the turn.

I can't believe what I'm reading...no doubt that your suggested play will improve your chances of winning...but that doesn't make it correct.
