Reads as per the 66 hand (also player from the other FT2). The basic idea is that I am now the chip leader and calling pre and floating the flop because I think ICM will force him to play straightforward against me on later streets. As played, he put the brakes on OTT and I was able to take it down, but I am more interested to know if you think this kind of reasoning is ok on the earlier streets when you have the chip lead on the bubble. I also am assuming that if he is a regular and thinks I am a fish he is thinks I will probably play straightforward.
