It's impossible to always know what the mathematically correct decision for each play is unless all the cards are face up. Better players make the closest estimates.

For instance, if everyone played correctly, a guy would call my stone cold bluffs with an ace high, because otherwise he is giving up a pot that he is sure to win.

So let's assume I try to set him up with these bluffs for when I have a hand...

I pick up AA, and with a board of A7T42, I have my opponent's TT crushed. But if he does play correctly, he would fold to any bets I made because he has no chance of winning in a showdown. I couldn't say he played badly if he did call my bets, but he did play incorrectly by placing his money into a pot in which he has no equity.

So I guess it depends on what you exactly mean by "correctly".
