c/r air?...yes. i will fire AK into dry, low boards as a cbet. i dont consider that "air," though. i have 6 outs most likely. however, if a "reg" is onto me doing this and starts floating/minraising, i will just lead out psb on flop....its cheaper. i may then start c/ring flops i HIT, and take him to valuetown the rest of the way. WAY too deep/fancy of thinking for a 10NL player. god, i need to move up soon.

raising likely cbettors?... i will look for chronic cbettors. those who fire flop bets relentlessly when they have pf initiative. and, i raise them on "cbettable" boards with a lot of shit. draws, gutters, overs, TP, etc. but, with my bigger hands, i may let him bleed off the turn, too, if he has shown me he can/will two barrel. (most aggros will two barrel)

repping the A?... just remember to balance out yourself when you HAVE that A, too. otherwise, you are exploitable to even the dumbest reg.

betting draws?... i dont do the two street betting much. dont get carried away with that one.

calling small rivers?... i also mean in small pots. miller says small pots arent worth fighting over, but they are also often bluffed. if you have a marginal hand, calling small rivers can buy you action later. its kind of cheap advertising. if the regs are giving you action on the turn and river, youre not being forceful enough, imo. stop wailing away at the turn and river, and only valuebet it for awhile. you will pick up a ton of profit instantaneously. when they stop giving you action, then start stabbing at it again.

adding 3betting and 2 barreling to your game is fine, in small amounts. you are still at 10NL. its not practice for 25NL, imo. there IS a decent difference in aggression between the two. if you want to experiment with these, move up to 25NL and try it there. doing it at 10NL just gets you called down.

no, its not "in my book," but it should be. lol. what i was referring to was...

sometimes the deck runs completely opposite to what you try and do. i have been on a 40-50k run like this. and its frustrating. i stab, they call or raise. i do it again, so do they. i start to call, they have it. i stop doing it, they start to bet my weakness. i play my draws, they dont come in. when they do, they fold the table. i cbet, they call, i two barrel, they raise...and i didnt hit my A/K to bail me out. i get pissed and run a sweet bluff, i get picked off. i try and pick off a bluff, the guy rivered me. blah blah blah

the thing is, when the deck lines back up, i go on a HUGE heater. i am running 45 ptbb/100 over the last 2500 hands right now. its just payback from the shit i've been suffering for 3-4 months. i have weird shit holding up right now. the players are afraid to bet, but arent afraid to call down. i am just barely better than they are in most showdowns. and, they are calling my monsters...because i am leading them, not slowplaying them. i am stealing every pot i stab at.

why? the deck is lined up...for now. and, i am MAXIMIZING as much of it as i can.

like any LAG will tell you. keep the pressure on...softly. only stack off with big stuff. raise and cbet. take orphan pots with scare cards. fold to most aggression w/o reads or something of strength. the rest is kind of in the cards. when they match up with you, you get paid...AS LONG AS YOU KEEP BETTING. when they dont, it can get expensive...keep things small and to one street, occasionally two, when you are missing.

dont introduce "moves" because you think it will make you better. you have to understand WHY you are making the move at the time you are making it. otherwise, you are just spewing.
