Here a situation that came up.  I have pocket 10's.  I raise about 5x the BB.  I raise a bit more because I've hard trouble playing them. The flop comes A25.  I think the player that called is probably going to be loose and bluffing a lot.  He bets out 15 cent.  This is a decent sized bet but a little small. It's believable he called with any ace or a good ace even.  The next card to come is the ace and he goes all in.

I'm playing fast tables and I don't have much time to think but this is a tough situation.  If he had the ACE then he might realize I'm not likely to have an ace but if he had the ace with a good kicker -- and I'm an aggressive player -- why not bate me for more?  Or maybe he's just a money bull and thinks I'll call no matter what. I think about it and figure he realizes the with 2 aces on the board I'm not likely to have the ace.  I decide to trust my starting hand strength and call and I took that pot down.

My thought process was HE thinks I don't have the ace with 2 aces on the board: I'll bluff the ace and he can't call without the ace.  It's a scare card for sure.  It turns out I was right in this case.  He actually had something like 3-7 and his only out was a 4.
