Next time you're facing a bet on the turn against this guy (or anyone, heads-up), mentally double your cost and try to estimate how much you'll actually win when you win half the pot starting with the turn bet. (It's one half of what the pot was after the flop - and in this case you're risking an equal amount if you call the next two bets).

I'm not sure if that made sense to you. Basically henceforth you and Villan will contribute an equal amount, and that amount will be 4 small bets each for the last two betting rounds. If you win half, you'll get that back plus you'll win half of what the pot is after the flop. But if you get scooped, it will cost you 4 small bets.

Starting with the third betting round, you're risking 4 small bets to possibly win half of what was in the pot after the flop when you basically play for half the pot. See it?

Yes I do. Thank you for the tip. I'm sure it will come in handy in the future.
