I now raise with it from every position except the blinds (exemptions for steal and blind defense situations of course). I use to call or fold from EP, but decided I needed to add it to my repetoire. I'm also playing in considerably tighter games than in the past (bye bye party...hello whoring). I'm often likely to get it heads-up with the blinds or take the blinds in the 2/4 games I've been playing lately. If someone plays back at me (not a blind), I often need to hit the flop.

I think I do OK...I'm winning 0.26BB/hand with it.

I think you and Villian both overplayed your hands on this one.

well i dont usually play it this strong on the turn, but you see how my opponent had been playing top pair....
i was fairly certain he had just top pair A. my read was that he would have just called the flop with a set.
