Hi, I only started to play NL and is unsure whether the way I play is correct. Basically I feel raising with almost anytwo suited in position is a great way to steal pots (folllowed by a continuation bet postflop) and get that maniacal image that will payoff when you get a big hand. Please note I only do this when I first sit down on a table to build up my image.
Here is the hand in question, my image at the table is again, very LAG (probably raised 60%+ the hands at this table so far, partly due to a run of cards, partly due to the weak/passive nature of this table). The villain sat down a few hands ago, he reraised me once already (I raised to 35, one caller, and the villain reraised to 105) where I laid down pf. In that hand he doubled up w/KK when he hit a set. This is the very next hand.
