This was an interesting situation in last nights Stars $3R. I had been playing rather tight for a few orbits. I'm in the big blind and look down at 99. One person limps, all fold to the SB who completes. I decided then that limpers on my blind were to be punished this orbit and pushed all-in putting them to a tough decision. I was fortunate to be put in this situation again in the small blind with KQo and one limper in the pot who folded to my push. I was fairly sure that in both cases the other people would certainly fold, probably giving them about a 70% likelihood of folding. Then on the button I came across the following hand. With my
(new) super aggressive image at the table I decide that I'm going to exploit that image. Do you play this any differently?
