taking down a big pot is not sufficient reason to divert from optimal play. he's throwing away his entire bluffing range when i raise when he can continue with them on the turn and river. if he's valuebetting hands I beat, like AK KQ KJ, then i'm probably going to stack off against those too. this hand got interesting because of the turn because suddenly i don't beat much of his value range at all.
