Re: Trusting you reads
Judging by what I've read in these forums about No Limit, the following seems to be a minority opinion.
I think the problem is the notion of "pot committed". I see it written about a lot but it seems like a ludicrous notion to me. Anyway, you DO seem "pot committed" when you call an all that all in bet. So maybe you need to [1] get the idea out of your head that an over pair requires committment to the pot, and [2] pot committed is a notion you need to recognize in the other guy (don't bluff), but it doesn't apply to you.
You need to know your player. If he doesn't 4-bet-push at all, then its no surprise what he's got when he does. Lay it down. I don't play online yet, but I'm sure that always folding to all in bets is a lot better than usually calling them. Take your stats and find the guys that DO all-in bluff, and call them. Fold to everyone else.
