[One Outer]

Preflop I don't have a problem with. Sure, it's super marginal in a vacuum, but considering the mouthbreathers you're playing with I want to be in pots when I have position with anything vaguely close to reasonable. I think Ed Miller posted about this once, the gist being that the idea preflop is to give ourselves an edge, not play some sort of formulaic, chart based starting hand game. So good on you.

That being said, I don't like the flop raise. But we could go around all day about this, so that means it can't be that wrong if it is indeed wrong. I guess my rationale is that the only reason I can see for it is a free card but I just don't think you're going to get the free card often enough to justify it against this crowd.
