$200NL

Folded to me in small blind

I have 76o, I raise to $7, unknown in big blind.

is this fine?

fold 60% raise 40%

Sure its fine. Just make sure its some dude who likes to fold a lot, and not one of the guys that pays attention and plays good in these spots. Most people just give up (either here or on the flop or turn), so i think this is a spot where it should be minus EV to raise, but in actuality it is an awesome spot.

fine, I make it $8 though.

Yes its fine just not with BB who has a high vpip or is aggro.

I look at how laggy I want my game to look to other people (I personally want my stats to look slightly tight, i also want to play a lot more hands utg and mp than many people - JTs etc-6 handed. C-bets are beutiful when they come from strength - not so when your laggy. Obviously play a ton of hands - top 45-59% for a VPIP around 27 I think.
