$12 180 1 man to the bubble, this guy had limp/raise folded several times to my shoves, most notably my last one was with 22 and the one before that with KQs so I wasn't doing it with total air.

Normally, I like the play as long as SB hasn't been too loose. But since you have been doing this often, folding is okay also.

Why would a big stack open UTG? steal blinds? looks pretty strong from UTG. I see that you are pressuring a big stack, and will fold some of his range, but but with K10 i don;t like this play. I think UTG range near the bubble is like 88+ A10s+ KQs kinda thing. what do you think? For me (a nit) this is easy fold.

OP, had you shown the cards you raised him with? Otherwise, how could he know you weren't doing it with air?

Also, biggest reason to do this is FE. Against a big stack, you're going to get called much lighter. The lighter their calling range in the first place, the more likely that they're going to call you if you keep pounding them.

he hadnt been limping a lot but he had been playing pretty crazy raising and folding to my shoves and limping on other hands etc

i think he played like 5 or 6 straight hands leading up to this
