How should I play this? Not much info on player other than he made a bad call against me earlier. He had called my pot bet on river with 4th nut flush and 4th best low; I scooped the pot with a strflush (A-6) for nice pot.

Here's the hand. I'll post the results later.

I would--you're getting better than 2:1, and w/ the backdoor nut low draw I think it's reasonable to be better than that (2:1) in a cumulative sense against a range of hands the BB will make this raise with.

This is what I love about the game. Some idiot who MUST DEFEND HIS $4 BLIND, loses another $130 doing so. A679, big hand, hard to fold. Clearly you were trying to steal. Guy has to defend, can't afford to lose $4 yet can afford to throw another $130 after it.
