The OP stated he felt he had a solid read on the player. He included his read in his decision making. And, as it turned out, his read was correct.

I don't think the OP was playing with "scared money," as one responder concluded. The OP decided to lay down a coin flip hand in a cash game.

Nothing wrong with that decision, IMO.
We make money by making the correct decisions based on math. Doing so otherwise would be giving up an edge. We shouldnt be giving up edges theoretically.
