Default Preflop Raise Theory

Ok, I'm a very good SNG player. I find myself winning often. I have this theory - it's smarter to raise with 45 suited than K-10 off, it's smarter to raise 56 suited than Q-10 off, etc. The reasons behind my play with such hands is that K-10, Q-10, QJ, when raised, are far more likely to be dominated than 45, etc, and if you hit the flop with K-10 etc, it is obvious that you hit it to the opposing players. However, if you hit a flop with 45, such as 945, nobody will put you on 45 even if they know how you play. I say the bold part because if you raise preflop with AK, AA, AQ, hands like that (but not eh-eh cards like K-10, J-10) and bet out on flops like 945 people won't know if you hold the 45 or the AK. It's such a massive asset to my game and I believe this to be Gus Hansen's and Daniel Negraneu's expertise. I don't think I'm as good as them at this, but I think I am on the right track. The one downside I know of is that if the two undercards run into a high pair, they are fairly dominated (although low suited connectors are wonderful cards to hold in a must-all in situation when you run into, lets say, AA, as 56 suited is the #1 hand against AA in preflop percentages) A big part of this also is that you will steal the blinds a good deal of times. Now that my wrists are going to fall off, I'll ask for your opinions, got any?

Oh yeah, besides that - I notice people begin to think I'm a big bluffer sometimes. I then become your everyday rockish player - though i still bet big when i get a hand

Stanzee, this is a very weak gimmick account.

I don't know why you think I'm someone else, I'm not whoever stanzee is. I'm just posting an opinion. Get out if you don't like it. So any unparanoid people want to share an opinion?

you'll get responses if you post some sample hands outlining your theories. generic statements are too hard to evaluate or comment on. you need to provide a context for your idea.

Yes, there is merit in what you are saying.

But saying you have this theory that occasionally raising suited connectors and not raising with trap hands is like saying you have this theory that the Sun doesn't revolve around the Earth. This is not new information. Do some reading.
