I definitely feel you when you're talking about the opp who's calling not because he reads your bluff, but because he thinks an unimproved AK is good for a fat reraise. Also the guy who's got a pp and just "feels" like another one will be coming along any second now.

Players not letting go of strong pre-flop hands is just one of those things that happens in poker, and it happens frequently, both in live play and online.

At one of the casinos where I play, a few nights ago I had 77, raised a decent amount pre-flop and was called by the SB. Flop came Q62 rainbow. Without hesitation the small sbind bet, and I immediately put him on AJ or AT (not AK as he didn't reraise) - I was certain he didn't have a Q or any piece of the flop. I called. Turn is a 3. SB bets immediately again (typical fish move - trying to act strong when weak). I actually said to him "you haven't got a Q, you've got AJ or AT and can't let it go" and I raised him all-in. He called and turned over AJ. River was a J!!!!

This is how the game goes, you've just got to forget about it and go on to the next hand. Normally I love to play against these guys, but now and again the weak play is rewarded.

That's why this game of ours is soooooooooo fascinating!!!!
