Re: How much of good short play is avoiding good players?

in this hand, you should 3-bet preflop and (edit: bet the flop) lead the flop. his range is huge and he'll miss often. he will also fold better hands (mainly better aces, but also stuff like K5 on QJ5 flop) to your flop bet.

I think this gets at one of my problems: the players I see often, we have a decent idea about each other's ranges. And so post-flop aggression comes off, often, as a bluff. I think three-betting more with hands like A5s is probably going to save me much more aggrevation, and yeah, getting someone to dump a better Ace is the big advantage.
Obviously, sometimes your timing is just off or you run into a hand. But I'm not taking the initiative in spots where I should sometimes.
