but you wont use the same strategy vs them. that's the thing. because you are playing heads up against someone who sucks at poker, almost every hand played heads up vs this guy should be considered in a vacuum imo, whereas vs thinking opponents you need to balance your ranges and deceive a lot more. as i said, if the guys that are observing the hand are any good (good enough to spot and exploit said tendencies) they probably take the same lines vs fish with strong hands too, because they are the most profitable ones. and even if they do take a note saying "PSB = strength" or whatever, then they're misleading themselves because in the majority of hands we are going to balance our betsizes far better and take into consideration board texture, our perceived range, villain's range, potential bluff outs etc etc. i see exactly where you're coming from, but i think this hand is an exception to the general rule that you should attempt to balance your ranges to prevent opening yourself up to exploitation, because A) this guy will never exploit you, and B) if the people capable of exploiting you do take a note, their note will be wrong anyway, because this is a non-standard situation where we take the line most profitable vs our fish regardless of betsizing tells, range balance etc. if this hand was against a (presumably thinking) BB caller, i'd probably bet like .85 on the flop because he expects me to an a shitload of A-high boards, and i get value from any Ax he has as well as any pairs 77+ he might peel with and any middling SCs. on this particular turn i'd bet like 2.75 because alot of his middle SC hands have a lot of equity, or two pairs, and i probably never get another street from say 88-TT anyway (especially if a J,Q,or K falls). Ax might also come along. my point is that against anyone who is a decent player, i take far more into consideration when sizing my bets - their range, my perceived range, board texture and how that affects their range etc. vs a fish i'm quite happy to bet pot on 3 streets with a strong hand because thats (arguably) the best way to make the most money off this guy, and he's never going to use that information against me in the future (hence the play we think most profitable in any given hand considered in isolation, is the most profitable play we can make)

that was long, and probably quite convoluted and repetitive. hopefully there is some sense in there though.
