So right now the part of my game I am working on is actively finding spots to pick off bluffs. When you do this, unless your opponent is "bluffing" allin, your hand doesn't matter.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed)

I like this against particular opponents who I think will bet with air and fold when you show strength.
I think my table image is another important factor when deciding whether or not to try this. I wouldnt do it "all the time" by any means.
