How many of you talented players in hear make an extra profit by making reads and simply outplaying a player. Last night I had AQ suited from the button and I raise 4.5x the BB and an aggressive player called me. I know he called me with anything at this point because he called anyone he thought that raised with a big Ace (AK, AQ, AJ). The only difference is the other players couldn't play back because they were weak. I decided that I didn't care about my stack here and thought I would just try to outplay him. So the flop comes, i hit nothing and I raise like $6, he calls, turn comes and I raise another $4, he calls, river comes, no flush or straight made. I raise $7 more and he calls with a pair 6 with !!! I asked him how could he just call me with pair 6 with two overcards on the board and he said that he put me on a big Ace. My ace or queen didn't hit and he won the pot. The reason why it intrigued me is because his stack was over $100 at a $25 n/l table. I've only made over $100 3 times and those came on great draws with great odds. So, how many of you guys out there put players on hands such as a big ace and and as long as you flop a pair, bet aggressively if there is no ace all the way to the river. Do you bust out more or profit more from this sort of play?
