I was on a ridiculous run of hands (AA twice, QQ twice, AQo 3 times, TT, KTs all within 50-odd hands) and people at the table seemed to be getting upset /images/graemlins/smile.gif
Villain here was 70/0/0.6 over 90 hands, really passive, I hadn't seen him raise without somethiung that beat top pair at the very least.
On the turn I was positive he had a 4 when he had 3-bet, yet I keep hearing a voice going 'it's two more BB in a decent pot, maybe he only has a 6.' Not to mention the old 'if you never fold an AA overpair headsup you'll rarely be wrong'.

Preflop: Hero is MP with A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
1 fold, Hero raises, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls.
Flop: (8 SB) 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 4/images/graemlins/club.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif (4 players)
SB bets, BB folds, Hero raises, Button folds, SB calls.
Turn: (6 BB) 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (2 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, Hero calls.
River: (12 BB) 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.
Final Pot: 14 BB
At the end he duly showed 54s and took the pot. Now, I was sure he had a 4 when he 3bet the turn yet I felt obliged to call down in case he was trying to steal 'my' pot - how do you get over this and play more based on reads?
In my older weak-tight days I regularly folded in situations like this only to see a 6 or some other two pair type hand that I had beaten, now I find it harder to identify the right spots for aggression and when to recognise real strength based on a read and make a proper fold.
