There is nothing I like about your play. Calling with a weak hand out of position is always going to give you tough decision on the flop even if as in this case you hit your hand. Moving all-in preflop would be a better move.

I like it. Yes, the traditional is a re-steal all-in pre-flop. But this mixes it up and should be considered as a good play. One can fold post-flop if the flop don't connect in any way.

The only problems comes if villian has an overpair to the board or also connects good - then one probably will get called and has to draw out. But that probaly also happens if one go all in pre-flop. So waiting and see the flop gives one more options. One can even shove it in first if one wants to since one has the first bluff position after the flop.

Love it.

A resteal preflop is certainly ok, but a flat call planning to CRAI any flop we connect with is perfectly acceptable.

If he likely calls with almost everything he raises with preflop, this is way way better than restealing allin preflop. You let him cbet his AK/AQ/AJ/AT/KQ and allin. If he has a pair bigger than 66 oh well. Our stack is getting desperate here. We are looking to open push, or pull some kind of move. This is it.

I like it.
