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

I'll do this in the live games (NL100) I play if 1 or 2 weak/passive players have limped and I haven't played a pot for a while. If I get a caller pre-flop, I'm often able to take it down when I'm checked to on the flop. Because they're so weak and passive, I'm not too worried about check raises and I can get away from my hand if they bet out. And every now and then I luck in to some powerful hand like trips or 2 pair and can take down a good sized pot. It's been pretty successful for me.

But, in the NL25 I play online, I don't generally do this because I don't think NL25 online players pay much attention to how tight I am and that I haven't played a pot in a while.
