I should have never made such a large bet without something better than an overpair. If he had nothing, any bet would have (probably) chased him away. The only way that most people would have called my bet is if they had at least two pair or a set.

This is LOL, he called the flop with 9 high and backdoor straights and called the turn with middle pair!!!! How can you take something so totally ridiculous as only a better hand will call from that?
