I was just there to have fun with a friend that night, and I couldn't consistantly gamble at that level safely at this point. I feel like this game could be REALLY juicy if I hit it up often, but its also way out of my bankroll. SO here's my question, is this a solid strategy in this kind of senario or is this simply variance working in my favor. I played for about 3-4 hours, and turned 100 dollars into 250.

I eventually also began mixing it up after they started catching on an hour into it, and raising $6/8 bets more often with weaker hands/monsters. As the blinds go around, I'm only losing a dollar when a simple preflop call misses its flop, and shoving the pot up to 20-30 dollars on a max preflop raise (which people call surprizingly often). I only changed this strategy when i had (what I thought at least) was a good read on someone with a good hand. I decided that I was going to simply call all suited connectors higher than 34, and call all pairs lower than 10s, and raise the F'n hell out of pairs higher than T's and AJ-AKs. I was playing a little timid at first, to see how the game was played, and realised that people were limping and cold calling small raises A LOT. By playing extra tight preflop where the anti/blinds are MUCH lower than the max bet, and then playing top hands super aggressive to get into a heads up or 3 way pot thats around 15BB with my relatives holding a crazy range. The games with my family are classic home game poker where everyone goes to the flop like 60% of the time in Hold Em, and helplessly claw at straight draws in 7-card stud till 7th street, etc. So i figured what the hell, I can clean my relatives out by playing SUPER tight and aggresive. Blinds were $1 and $2, with a min bet of 2 and a max bet of 10 with a cap of 3 raises. I stumbled upon a game of $2-10 spread limit in a casino last week, and have played a similar game with relatives for pennies my whole life. Im not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I couldn't find anything on spread limit.
