i 3 bet any time i think my hand is on average better than the steal raisers.

Yes, this is pretty common, but to play this well, you'll need to 3-bet a lot more than just the premium hands. What are your 3-betting standards vs an unknown?

i check raise any flop that doesnt look like it hit me (babies), whether it did or not. i bet out at any flop that looks like it hit me (a or k hi) cause the check is just too suspicious and youll give alot of free cards to hands that would have folded.

So you check-raise baby flops with KQs?

It's an interesting way to play, I think it has merit, but requires you to handle lots of mediocre hands in rapidly growing pots out of position. That's tough.

i find this line makes my hand play easy. if you play my way you probably get to fold on the flop to a raise in this instance (cause you 3 bet and bet out on the a hi flop) or get a small pp to call you down and never take controll.

I don't but much stock in this argument, particularly since

Are you really just going to give up every time somebody raises an ace-high flop and you don't have an ace? ouch. autobetting an ace-high flop with KK doesn't make much sense to me either.
