And if he thinks a fold of Q-Q would be the right play, it would be completely inconsistent for him to call with T-T.
But until you prove to ppl that you're unorthodox, the good players will put you on a hand that makes sense and act accordingly.
If you are villain in hand vs lukie, What do you do with 1010? What do you with AA-QQ? Typically ppl will decide that he has the hand he's repping or he doesn't. If villain decides he's bluffing, he calls with 88+. If he thinks he's value betting, he folds AA in a heartbeat. I don't see what's not credible about this...
Playing AJ like this makes HERO completely unreadable. It forces opponents to play 1st level poker, which can only be a good thing, especially when you know this is how they're forced to play you.
