Aggressive play will have you feeling beat everytime
But, you example seems to not include hand reading, just reacting to the action. How loose/tight is villain preflop?
Hand reading starts with assessing player tendencies. For example, when a player seems to do this frequently, you can't always assume a strong hand. How does the preflop action combined with the flop texture fit the range of hands his/her preflop action suggested?
Your hand reading starts as soon as you sit at the table. Pay attention when you're not in a hand. That's where you get the data you need when you are in a hand.
