there's almost certainly going to be a turn card scary enough to slow down 7x.

The "made" hands that I'm beating are just going to be as afraid of big cards as I am, that's true. I suppose if a players has the cahunas to bet the turn again with 7x after I call his raise deserves to win the pot?

He called me with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], for top pair and a bd straight draw.

Well, that's a straight draw AND a flush draw, back-door for both. Huge draw, no doubt. Anywway, you did get what you wanted here, since your opponent was utterly horrible, i.e, even more suicidal than yourself [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. Still, I don't think this push is long-term profitable, even if you're playing against complete fish. Again, the fact that such players practically never fold anything that beats you here, is a significant problem for you.

At least now you have some note on this guy, if you ever meet him again. I think that on Stars there's a somewhat bigger chance than if you played against him on Party at similar buy-in.

Yeah. I'm sure the only reason this play worked out in the end was because it was a $16, but that doesn't make it correct.
