i like all of your thoughts, i do, but...

you are talking about a specific situation where you dont know the exact cards your villain (hero) holds (he could have had a middle set, Aces up, AK, or any other possibility here that had YOU beat...and you didnt know that for a fact when you made your move...it just worked out), and he doesnt, and cant, know the exact cards you (villain) hold. therefore, you are only correct, imo, about one piece of several equations.

people here always are telling me, "you play and make moves against ranges, not specific holdings because you can never be 100% sure about the cards your opponent holds," nor him yours.
