When my opponents confuse me, I have a marked tendency to call them down.

...and not raise them any more. Me too. I'm wondering how bad that is, and if this baffled call-down isn't exactly what this player intended once he was forced out of position. There's no doubt more bets go in if I fill-up, and he knows that, so he can get away after each bet if he has to. And if I have a (winning) two-pair, I may be convinced not to call the last bet on the river, and in any case, he has succeeded in freezing the action at one more bet per street.

I think it's a viable play if he has a marginal hand and can't give me credit for trips, given that he knows I respect his ability. But it's pretty weird.
