Wota, under what circumstances will you lay down a big hand? Is it read-dependent, or is there a way to figure this out from PT overlays?
I found that on an innocent board without any flush or straight possible (Q73) I will almost always go broke with a hand like AA, when I get called on the flop and raised on the turn.

Has to be read dependent for me and crucially you have to assume a player is good until proven otherwise.
E.g I raise to 5bb PF with AK and get called by 2 people. We all have a 200bb stack.
Flop is AJ3 rainbow
I bet 12BB into 15BB pot and get a call. There's no real draws there now so I will be wary.
Turn 7
I bet 30BB into 42 pot and get raised to 90BB.
OK if I call this, there is a good chance he is pushing all in on the river. Is someone playing AQ /AT/KK this aggresively? Highly unlikely. The other person either: has me beat/is bluffing/is a donk.
I can fold having invested 47BB and keeping 153BB. This is where I would release AK.
