Maybe this hand doesnt turn out as profitable as it does here, but over the long run i think you'll make more money winning 10 small/med. pots than 1 big one.

just my thoughts.

I think you've a very good point. To be fair I was surprised that he didn't come over the top sooner. I put out a min-bet into the small pot and got 1 caller. I was sure he'd raise if I put in a min-bet again, so when he didn't I was thinking I'd got the guy wrong. Then the river came and he spazzed out as per my plan

I do have to be careful because it justifies a rather dubious tactic and I've had a lot more success since I've started betting my monsters against these guys.
