OK, I'm at a juicy table with 1 "Donater" (52/2), 1 TAG (19/9) and a couple of other moderately loose players. I get a "perfect storm" hand. I very possibly played this less than perfectly.

River: (18 BB) 5/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">TAG raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">TAG caps</font>, Hero calls.
Final Pot: 26 BB Split between Hero and TAG (AQo)
After the hand was over, TAG told me that I played it poorly. He said I should have pushed the flop harder to extract more from "Donater". He may be correct.
After that he said that the way I played it would have hurt him eventully if the diamond had come on the river.
This brings me to the subject of my post. Do the good players have an unspoken code to try to extract the most from the poor players while doing as little damage to the other good players or is everyone just trying to extract the most $$ from each hand.
Maybe I'm not understanding TAG's comments. Thoughts about his comments and criticism of my play are welcome.
