I will 2-barrel a turn like this about 75% of the time, but I will occasionally check back, especially during a session like this where I had already been seen taking a C-bet flop, check/fold turn line. The pot-sized turn bet is nice, since it is more often a bluff than a 2/3-3/4 pot bet. Figuring that my FE is pretty high now, I make a strong raise, expecting to take it down.

So my opponent moves over the top without much hesitation, and although I'm not thrilled about it, I assume straight off that I'm committed. But looking back, it's actually pretty close.
If my opponent has 2-pair or better, I'm 4.5-1 to win, and getting almost exactly 4.5-1 in pot odds.
Of course, if you add in weaker flush draws and pair + FD hands, even some hands like JJ/QQ (which my hand is 25% against), it becomes an easy call. But if my opponent is only a little bit deeper, say $5-$10, and plays such that I can reasonably put him on 2-pair or better, this could become a nitty fold.
Then, factoring in my opponent's aggressive-ish stats, it becomes a pretty easy call. I'm not saying I would ever fold, but I am saying that there are some slightly modified cases where maybe I should.
And anyways, back to the part about restoring faith. Take a look at what he shows down.

Made me sweat his 6-outer river draw, but still, man, what on earth was he thinking. That I really was nitty enough to make that fold?
In unrelated news, I'm watching last night's Poker After Dark cash game, which is of quite good quality. PAD has now earned a spot on my DVR queue, at least as long as it stays a cash game.

You just don't expect play like that from a person with those stats; but it is good to know that there are people out there like that. Truthfully, I seem to be seeing more and more of those people lately.
I've recorded PAD; but have not watched them for a while. I need to.
