I guess paired flops are better for stealing. I just randomly generated that other one. Last time I tried stealing in a limped pot like this the board was J33r and flop checked through. I'm like no way anyone has anything right? I pot it on a blank turn and get called in two spots, and I have a squeaky clean image for not bluffing limped pots. I don't even know what they had as I x/folded river and one of the other guys folded.
I'd just way rather be OTB to be stealing in these pots.
Have you noticed a significant difference in success at 1/2 vs 2/5? Here the success rates would be quite different. At 1/2 it's usually going 5 ways if I limp UTG, perhaps more. At 2/5 it might go 3 or 4 ways. And the 2/5 players are much less sticky.
