The one thing the majority MAY be missing

I agree with what you just said, it just seems to me that people are only paying attention to what is in their hand and give no consideration to what people would have to have to call you with. Good example is if you have AK and the flop is A-J-10 I have seen people bet that AK like it's the nuts, but anytime there is a straight possible in the kill zone like that you have to give it consideration. Thats an extreme example, but even with AK and a flop of k-7-8 you have to be careful if you get played back at because so many people will play suited connectors and may have 2 pair. Maybe I have been drawn out on so many times I am just paranoid, but it seems some consideration to what the other player has may save a bet or two along the way.
