Re: The paradox of making money from opponents mistakes
His error is putting 2 bets into the pot when he could've checked and put 0 bets into the pot. What you have done by c/ring him is to magnify the effect of his initial mistake. However, he is correct to call the second bet anyway, because of odds.
To put it another way, if he checks he gets infinite pot odds. Even after you check-raise him, he is only getting whatever it is you said he was getting (7:1)? Infinite > 7:1, so he still got a worse outcome. Nevertheless, he should now still call according to FTOP. If he folds here, he's just made another mistake.
It's not really a paradox at all.
