I've had some luck with this kind of bold play in the past. I only do it occasionally. Isn't this what poker's all about?

No, for me poker is all about playing my best and having fun, not playing like a maniac, but to each his own.

You had luck with this kind of bold move in the past because your opponents didn't have anything (which is typical of the loosey goosey 3/6 games you have been playing in). Seriously, there is NO WAY with this much action and the pot the size that it is that your raises are going to do anything to move 3 Jacks or Kings or Aces out of the hand.

I don't mean to be cruel but you are the type of player that I love having in my game - betting your pocket pairs way too hard when the board and betting are telling you to do otherwise.
