Re: $25 NL PF steal, is this really dumb?

Full ring, $25 NL, I don't think it's worth the risk to try and pick up the blinds/limpers. I think you're definitely going to at least get one caller here.

If you do get one caller, a lot of time a standard continuation bet will take it down.

What happens if there are 2 callers? 3? 4? I could see maybe a continuation bet against 2 players taking it down, but not more than that.
I also think that the times you take it down get outweighed by the times when the Villain(s) decides to call your continuation bet. Do you fire another barrel?
I think this sort of play works much better at 6-max. I play on 100 NL 6-max, and switch between very LAG and semi-TAG play. A pre-flop raise there and a continuation bet (especially with position, these moves work much better in LP) will take it down, but I don't think it is going to happen enough times at $25 NL full ring for it to work. ESPECIALLY if there are short stacks at the table.
