i dont mind it mikey , your instinct as u said was that u thought he may not be strong

as long as you have a plan then i"m ok with your move , unorthodox yes but not as bad as it 1st looks imho.

--- Quote ---I still think calling is not that bad though as I could easily have laid it down if I had not hit, and still be about average stack. As it turned out, hitting got me into all sorts of trouble.
So I hit top pair, and check as suggested, he bets about half the pot and I insta shove,

This is the only part of your thought process i dont like , u dont have to hit the flop but i do think u either donk bet into him any flop or if u want to then check fold if u miss ONLY if u read the players to your left as weak in the blinds so that u may have the opportunity to steal quite easily.. if u hit though i prefer to donk bet no fancy check raise please :) as he may take a free card and catch up or cbet and then be committed anyhows, plus the way u read him i think in this situation u get him to fold most flops if led into.. I like it even more if u have observed him folding flops when donked into as well,this works [not surprisingly] a lot in these low buy ins.
Ok uve tried it out and its backfired but with a few tweaks and the right reads i think this works in certain situations,especially if your image has been conservative then your call does look stronger [even in $5 mtts at this stage they notice mr tighty]
