From your previous post:

I say call PF because you are in LP and the guy usually limps with a pair and if he doesn't have a pair, then you are not that much of an underdog since he is likely to play A/Kx even unsuited.

First, are you assuming that he doesn't have a decent pocket pair because he raised? Just because one time he didn't REraise with KK?

Second, just because he doesn't have a pocket pair, what about AK/AQ that have you dominated? What about Ax that might have you reverse-dominated? The problem with AJ/KJ/QJ types of hands is that you frequently catch a piece of the flop and either wind up folding, wondering if you folded the best hand (this hand), or paying a lot of money to show down a second-best hand (this hand, again, if Hero had called the river).

Finally, at higher levels you can make money by playing in a unexpected fashion. It's because your opponents are paying attention to your play, and so you can make them think you have one thing when you really have another. Even the good players in micros are rarely this observant. Up to 1/2 Full, the best way to earn is to play ABC poker.
