If it's live you might even get a free look by politely calling them out after a hand, before they muck as their ego will get the best of them. There's nothing better than waiting for a premium and crushing them at showdown. 

Keep calm and play strong or potentially strong hands, sooner or later as Ghost said they'll confidently make the wrong decision paying you off in the process.

Thoughts from you all on how you handle this?  Thanks
