Does he look like a loose player or a tight player?
Old, young, angry, happy, drinking, dressed sharp?

30-40 yrs old probably, not dressed real sharp, I think he may have been having a beer, or looked the type that could do his share of drinking.

Did you 3-bet for value hoping to be called down by A-high?

No, I wanted him to fold.

Thanks for the following up.
I feel that some of the decisions in this hand could be based on the way the player looks.
I would ask myself this question before raising preflop: Is this guy iching to play poker, or is he here to patiently prove that he can beat 30-60 over the long run?

Then I would check pre-flop, knowing that I'm not giving up much, and hoping to gain a lot more if he happens to be the kind of player that puts in too many bet post-flop when he is behind.
