Trap play.
This guy made a strong preflop raise that essentially defined his hand before the flop, which I think was a big mistake (it also told me he was probably an inexperienced player, since experienced players generally don't raise according to the strength of their hands). Since I figured he probably had 10-10, J-J, Q-Q or A-A and would most likely overvalue an overpair after the flop, I opted not to reraise from the button and announce the strength of my hand, and hoped that rags would fall so I could trap him (and of course double him up if he had A-A, but it was more likely he had a pair other than A-A anyways). It worked out pretty nicely:
