Your favourite"any 2 cards" move against nits?
Everybody knows cbetting, semibluffing.
My favourite is in BB. Pot-raise the table full of limpers then pot it on flop against single caller. Then show down 72 offsuit and enjoy the next ride while having AA/KK...
Or:
Check-raise re-bluff on scary flop. Flop is for example drawless JJ3, table full of limpers, checks around, button donkbets it (pussy 1/4 pot bet), then I slam a raise 3x his bet or 3/4-full pot and get folds around.
Fnord made recently an interesting topic about "any two cards on any flop" move...
What are your favourite aggro "any two cards" situational moves that can add some flavour to simple straight up poker? Cash game.

treat 72 like bullets in the bb--the value implicit in advertising the bluff = cash money as soon as soon as you catch a quality hand. people will come over the top of your raises w/ middle pairs/marginal high suited connectors, & you can crush them w/ high pps.

My favorite is re-potting guys that do this. There are some guys who will always lead these boards strong (or raise when someone bets weak) when they miss, and check when they hit. You can win some nice pots with garbage if you have the balls.

You had better be right pretty often. You're not gonna find a situation where this play is right often. I mean if you know a guy's tendancies well enough than by all means go for it. But this isn't something for an inexperienced player to go try against unkown players. Do it often enough you'll end up being wrong or they'll start making good calls on you and you'll quickly become the fish that people snicker at.
(Guys who reraise a check raise with nada are fun to play against in general.)

Obviously, you need to know the player. Re-raising a check raiser isn't a standard play of mine but it is standard against certain opponents. It also really suits my style and it's one of my favorite plays (although I don't use it often).
When I do use it, it usually works. It's like you are 3 levels ahead of the competition and that is the most enjoyable type of poker to play.

I can see this working as I make a note when someone puts in a hefty raise from the BB against a bunch of limpers. Of Course, with my luck, I will see this for the first time and push against A's because I got to the table after he had already made the move and now has a hand.
