Hey guys,

Hoping to get some advice/confirmation regarding the hand below. The hand is from a non-turbo $15 18 man on pokerstars.

The remaining players in the tournament were all weak and quite loose.

Players stats:

Son_of_Mats - 43/19
demar1975 - 23/15
orsione - 13/13
makguscat 21/14

I feel my play is very profitable in the long run as a lot of the time they are all folding or I can get heads up with the loose fish (Son_of_Mats) and either win it with a cbet or extract some value when I flop top pair. I also feel that in such a spot if I do flop an ace even if I get some callers I will be good a lot of the time.

I think the reason this play didn't work in this spot is because of the looseness of the players and the small blind calling giving the rest of the table a good price.

Should I continue to use this play at similar tables or is it not worth it?
