[DonkeyChip]

So if I let him do all the betting...do we get all-in? And if we do get all-in...is most of it going in on the river...after I've put a bunch of chips in and several scary cards have come out? I guess the 'let him have the lead throughout the hand' line didn't occur to be that great because I'm oop.

For instance, if I just check/call the flop the pot is just under $6 and I'll have $12.50 left. Then when I check the turn he could see the river for free...just seems like I'm letting him off too easy. Once I decided to go with it I kinda just wanted the money in ASAP.

Thanks for the responses. FWIW, I'm not trying to be defensive or anything like that (not sure how my tone is coming across)...just that I think it's important that I understand some of the finer details of what is being suggested.
