So I got home last night from the bar a little drunk and decided it was a good time to pop my 6 max cherry. I've played a lot of NL and done well, but all full ring.
I found myself playing quite different from my normal game and makign some strange plays, and I'm wondering if this is just part of playing short handed or if I'm overcompensating and playing too loose/aggro.

Absolute NL Hold'em Ring - 2/2
Blinds (5 handed)
Starting Stacks
Seat 1: Big blind ($234.85)
Seat 2: UTG ($16.70)
Seat 3: CO ($43.60)
Seat 4: Button (Hero) ($212.90)
Seat 5: Small blind ($398)
Preflop: Hero is Button with 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero raises ($8), Small blind raises ($23), Big blind folds, Hero calls ($15)
(I'm calling mainly because I intend to steal this pot, but also because my hand isn't that bad)
Flop: ($48) 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Small blind bets ($31), Hero raises ($90)
General Q is: How often, if ever, do you attempt to pick off a c-bet from a preflop restealer like this? It seems like it would have a good success rate but I really don't know.
