Rapid, Reraise preflop. You're going to be OOP and still have lots of money left to get into the pot postflop. I probably push to give the impression of trying to isolate the shorty.

[RapidEvolution]

I assume you're talking about the second hand? This was at a different table people were folding to my 3bets religiously (even after I opened up my 3bet range). I felt like 4 betting here would just fold out the other players. The flop was a nightmare.

beware of the minraises

Who was it that said "Type 'YO, I'M SATAN!!', then minbet for deception"?

This may very well be the closest I get to a graph. I'm gonna try a few more times but fwiw...
