This is really the problem with bluffing into this type of player in general. He shows up with a solid hand sometimes and when he does, you lose everything you've bet; and depending exactly how much of a station he is, he might do this same thing with worse than AQ. (The fact that he just called down with AQ and never acted as the aggressor with what was likely the best hand is telling - he's probably flat calling with a pretty wide range, from both weak to very strong hands.)

I have a friend who chronically loses a lot of big bets trying to bluff unknowns at lower stakes and I have been preaching to him to lay off until you know they can fold. Same thing here. It's so easy to exploit players at this level by value betting - why try to force them off hands they don't want to let go of?

Nice post... i totally agree. I to get into trouble trying to play to tricky with players that aren't thinking on the same level. It's costing me money.
