Farbeit for me to question your tactics, but here goes; Only a 100k standard raise at 20-40-5? A standard pot-sized raise I'm guessing would be 185k if 9 handed, doesn't 100 just give WAY too much in odds? Or do you like to underraise that severly to foster action? I understand changing it up, but this really is effectively even smaller than a miniraise, and you said it was your standard raise. Since I have the awesome power of 20/20 hindsight, lets say you make a more in-line raise of 175k, when you bet half the pot on the flop, (if he calls PF, which he likely would.), you're betting about 225 now, then if he takes one off to bluff, your turn bet is now 450, and he now has 225k less force with which he thinks he can get you to lay down, should you even play it as such. Not trying to second guess everything, cuz obviously that could be done to death, but it just seems to me that raise size has such a snowball effect that it would make it hard to really protect your hand if used consistantly.
