I think its a case of the weaker players not really being that situationally aware but they dont want to have to deal with your impending aggression that they WILL notice.

I've noticed that if your image is that of a strong player and the weaker players are aware of it then you will get less action off them and most of the time they'll either nit it up vs you and try and setmine you or counter you with excessive aggression.

Basically - they would rather try and flop the nuts vs you and hope you stack yourself off than try and counter a game they dont like playing versus.
