is there ANY situation where someone will lay this hand down? even when i KNOW my opponent holds this hand, theres NO WAY they lay it down, WHAT GIVES?! i have NEVER been able to get them to lay this down... and ive just stopped coming over the top of someone i KNOW has this hand.

(im talking limit hold em)

If you can beat that hand, shouldn't you be getting as many chips in the middle as you can?
This is Limit isn't it?

obviously im not saying if you can beat this hand, duh... thats pretty fucking obvious. im talking about laying this hand down if you cant beat it, but have a read on them to AK/AQ/AJ.

in limit you arnt gonna get them to lay this down. AJ with a ace high flop they will check/call you to the river. No limit its a totally differnet story but in limit they are running it and sometimes they will even run it to the river with no A or J on the board and fold on the river if they dont pair up. Thats just the nature of limit.

So you are asking if it is possible to "bluff" these players then.

Do you mean is it possible to get them to fold it if they miss the flop, or if they hit and have top pair or two pair or something? I don't tink I understand the question.

You say they never lay it down, but how do you know that? You only see their cards when they call you down. All the times they fold, you don't get to see their cards, but they certainly could have these hands, not just 72o.
