By this I mean I play AK, and get called to the flop which comes A, 10, 6 rainbow and he bets into me. Too often I pick him with TPWK and bet him to the showdown with my TPTK, even if I reraise and he calls. At showdown he shows pocket 10's.

I assume he's a moron who doesnt know he's beat, when in fact I should be questioning why he's still coming at me when I'm representing such a strong hand. After all, its altogether likely I have A and a high card (almost certain) but he's still not folding.

Yes, sometimes he is an idiot who doesnt realise he's beaten, but rather than assuming that, I need to think it through more. Learning they're not can cost me a lot of my stack.
