I mean, I do get the raising any two thing, and I accept I' m passing off on +ev spots so I don't look too laggy, which I realise is retarded ongbonga logic, but is this kind of line really sound against regs at higher stakes?
i wouldn't expect a very high % of the regs i played against at 50nl (the highest stake i've played with any real regularity) to be making plays like this against me, no. though, that said, inability to come up with/assess the EV of nonstandard lines and strategies is one of the main reasons ok regs tend to get to a certain point and stagnate imo (myself very definitely included). tbh there's a good chance this hand is probably just FPS and spewy. although villain did fold his hand on the river within 0.0005436 of a second,
looking back over your post, regarding the first point, it doesn't matter what stakes you play. when you come up with a play/line which, as best you can tell, has the highest EV then you should do that imo. in this case, any strategy which i think is +EV is better than folding, which is always 0EV. though upon my own review and reading others' comments, my plan to float this guy over multiple streets could well have been -EV. but i tried to play the hand in most +EV way i could and i got the chance to play a marginal spot i never otherwise would have, and so maybe (hopefully) i got slightly better at poker in the process. or something.
