I'm pretty sure this is stupid and reckless, if that's the case feel free to...ionno...throw a chair at me. The broader question here relates to reads. When I really think I can put a player on a hand, how much can I risk to exploit that.
Here I'm positive that villain has a mid-low PP and is pissed to see the king on the turn. Still, I'm not sure how he's gonna react if I put the pressure on, turns out he has the strength to lay it down. So should I check/fold even though I know he's afraid of my hand? Does using reads like this really become an element of poker at the $11s, or is this fancy player syndrome and nothing more?
