For now I'm not open raising any more unless I have the goods.

With this strategy there's a good chance you will not be called when you have the goods.

When you calculate the cost/benefit of stealing from LP remember to include the chips you win when your AA, KK and AK gets re-raised by the BB.

If there's no ante (I don't play Party, so I'm not quite sure) you need two thirds of your steals to succeed to break even. But even if you're re-raised on half of your steals and are forced to fold, the overlay from your strong hands being called (as opposed to everybody folding to your raise) should generously make up for it.

Best,
