I agree. I tend to throw in weak raises against weaker players and more aggressive raises against better players. I'm happy getting their call and instafold after not hitting their set than get the immediate fold.

Further, a lot of players fold immediately to the weak bet.

My goal in these hands is to rep a monster, isolate, and take it down. If they fold preflop thats fine too. When I say isolate I mean to one player. Thats why I raised to 40 in one of the above hands. Obviously I miscalulated, I expected Villain #1 to call, but not villain #2. Nonetheless, I love that hand.
