i tend to think so. but first...why i did it. villains are extremely LAGGy. and in a raising war with themselves.
reasons for pushing flop...
1)i figure i get called easily
2)i dont want to make up my mind if an A or K hits
3)usually, i am WAY ahead of LAGs here

reasons not to call...
1)i figure i get called easy (no FE)
2)usually, only KK+, 2 pair, and sets call here (which i am way behind)

#2 is the main reason i feel this is -EV. am i right? was this a bad push that simply worked...this time? or is this the line to take against 2 LAGs?

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

i think its +EV at this level because your going to get called by AJ and xxS ...most likely im stacking off here on the flop no matter what anways ...if you bet out and get raised on the flop i dont think you can fold ... ...ever

i prefer betting out and having room to maneuver on the turn just in case a scare card comes tho ..
