I guess AQo is the theme of the morning...

Disclaimer: I know I played this hand poorly. I had my opponent on AK (unfortunately). I also know that he is a solid player and he multi-tables. After the hand he says, "You have a tell." He watched me bluff people off a pot when the board paired twice before. I believed I could knock him off the pot with a hard bet on the river (considering my read). How wrong I was.
The tell he picked up, was it the one I described (hard betting scare cards)? I'd appreciate any comments.

You have tried to steal too many pots, if the other players haven't noticed, then keep stealing from them, but tighten up against this player, and if you find your self in a situation where you do have the trip J's, OVERBET the pot, he will assume your stealing (why would you try to bet him off if you had it?), and you can make a nice pot.

Then thank him for telling you that he has noticed your betting pattern. He wont be so quick to call next time.
