Open Raising the SB With Pure Trash

[TomBrooks]

I tried something new for me at full 6max tables. To wit, occassionally openraising the SB with pure trash against a BB that folds a lot and rarely, if ever reraises. I only tried it occassionally and at times I thought I had a strong table image, like shortly after winning a big pot or having taken down a pot from the SB on the last orbit.

I won the BB 2 out of 3 times. Instead of folding and losing 1.5 SB. I won .5 SB. That's a difference of 2 SB or +0.33BB/hand.

Does anyone else do this? Does everyone else do this? Please note that I'm talking about full 5-6 player games, not 3-4 handed or heads up.
