Bad ending though, the A fell on the flop. Damn, down to $5. Then another 3-way all-in, My AQ vs KQ and 44. No A on Q came, struck out. But, especially the first one, that was mainly negative variance.

I went from $8 to $15 without a single showdown. The table really went crazy then, lol..

Don't go too crazy. I only advocate using that technique if your raises are getting too much respect. Start out playing your normal ABC tag game.
