Re: TOP: Fundamental Theorem discussion.
If what I say is wrong, as I have only leafed through my copy of TOP, please don't flame me, just correct me.
I must agree with you. For example, especially at the smaller stakes, you will run into people that won't lay a hand down to save their life. They'll call down to the river with A high or a small piece of the board, even bottom button. You're firing at them precisely because you know what they hold, that is, they have a very weak hand and you can only win by bluffing, however, they refuse to believe they're beaten.
As concerns your preflop raising, I would suggest, once your opponents realize that you're so tight, gradually loosen your preflop requirements for raising. If they get wise to it, tighten back up. I normally change gears like this many times throughout a session (ring games). This, of course, is player dependent, don't reraise a rock with pocket 99 or 88.
