Hoi Polloi

Villain sat down with $22.7 and I thought: here's a guy who's just looking to loose the rest of his bankroll and be done with it. I was hoping to help out. 15 minutes later he's up $100 playing crap and showing down crap. Showed down Q4o with no pair, for example.
At the same time, I've been studying Sklansky's essay The Eight Mistakes of Poker (http://www.twoplustwo.com/dsessay6.html) because I'm only making five of them. In his discussion of mistake #6: Folding When You Should Raise he suggests that it may be correct to raise when you are drawing with 1 card to come without the odds to call.
In the present case, I don't have the odds to call my OESD on the turn, but I'm thinking my pair outs may be good as villain has been showing down some weird hands.
