I play alot of wild opponents on prima (50% of the site are certifiable) and I agree with building big pots with much more marginal holdings. I've actually snap called with AJos all in preflop against people (he ending up having K10). bottom line tho, it's not that I'm advocating not getting it all in as a rule, this situaiton just seems like we're beat.
I know what you mean about Prima, I had 2 hands recently like this (facing river bets anyway)
Villain in the first is 37.86/20.29/2.4 and has infinite river aggression but hadn't played many hands vs him at this point. I double barrelled as he was betting a lot of turns that were checked to him. He showed the bluff because I typed "nice river" or something, but useful free info, especially when I obviously couldn't call. What do you make of his play though? I don't think he is making a read here really as I don't double barrell that often, it's kinda reckless imo.

And then another, this villain is 24.64/14.49/2.47. The villains aggression stats didn't really make this call, rather the fact that I had seen him raise draws before and I didn't believe he was calling down draws with the bad odds I'd given him. My bet on the river, was meant to be a blocker bet, but was probably to weak and as I'd seen him push over someone with 33 before (an underpair to the board) I decided to make the call. I'm not sure it was +EV and maybe a bit tilt induced from having to fold KK just before when the board was 478 and after a pot sized flop bet a 6 hit the turn and my villain pushed.

Sorry if this is too off topic/a highjack or anything, just thought it related a bit. And apologies for the HH format, couldn't manage to conver my Prima HH.
