against someone that is just going to check-fold a lot of flops, raise it and let them fold in a bigger pot. if they are going to routinely go too far with bad hands then it might be alright. the more money you have behind the more of an advantage position should be.
So, i understand this is totally dependent on the kinds of mistakes your 'bad' opponent makes.
Too weak postflop, but will call raises----> raise and c-bet
goes too far postflop with weak holdings, but doesnt call so many raises-------------> limp and try to get him to hang himself

How about aggressive blind defenders that will reraise light?
is limping w scs a better strategy than raising?
if they reraise us we hardly ever can call the reraise with that type of hands.

Could it also give for profitable trapping situations, mixing it up w limping w strong holdings if we see he raises most of the time to chase us away?

Is it better to just fold to their reraises and give them confidence for that time we raise on the button w a big big hand?

I dunno, just trying to learn
