Re: heads-up battle
Excellent point on the checkraise. I have to admit it never occurred to me, but it makes perfect sense.
As for my decision to call him down despite my read, the possibility of unimproved big cards was small, but certainly not zero. The pot was getting fairly decent-sized, and he had every incentive to ram me off of my obvious middle pair. I'd personally have to know my opponent like the back of my hand to fold that turn heads-up.
