I have found this move to be a little risky, but it has been profitable as of
late..Wanted to share it and see if I am just being a kamakazie or truly trying to "outplay" someone.

Playing 3/6 NL the players are pretty crafty and aware of their positions. Lately I have def.. seen an increase in players raising from the button.

Rather than just giving way I have been calling with marginal hands but more than likely two live cards and in some cases maybe the best hand. But here's a trend I've seen.

Six man table I am in little blind everyone folds BB raises it to 18 or 21. I have J 9 suited...sometimes worse....I am out of postion...don't have a big hand everyone might scream fold..but as Doyle puts it..in NL you gotta gamble. So I call and BB typically folds.....

Now sometimes yeah you flop huge but how about when the flop comes Q 9 3 rainbow or maybe a Q82 giving you a longshot gutshot... If you bet you are likely to get raised as people have ego's on the button and in this case do you really wanna call the raise...But I have found if you check they almost always will bet the pot...as most of us would but I have been calling the pot bet a lot lately sometimes with mid pair sometimes on that four outer sometimes with nothing and my call is almost a semi bluff in a way...Typically, 85% of the time I am getting a free river card just by calling the flop and if no Jack or higher hits (or four to flush...nothing too scary)whether I have paired or not if they gave me the free river look - I come out swinging.. I don't bet the pot as the tab is too easy to chose in this case I may bet around 60-80 bucks almost as a I wanna get paid bet and as a result I am taking down a lot of pots........

Obvioulsy if I check turn and they bet again and I have nothing this move is bunk and I have donated about sixty bucks.....but out of 4 times being in this scenario I am taking the pot down 75% of the time...

Am I playing risky or playing poker?
