Default Yes, Sir, I\'ll pay $300 to see both your holecards

So I'm playing 5/10nl at Venetian tonight. I limp behind a couple other limpers with QJhh, and this lagtard makes it 50 from the blinds. I call along with some others.

The flop comes jack high with a heart. Lagtard bets 250, I'm the only caller.

The turn brings a low heart. Lagtard now stuffs for 1600 into a pot of about 750. His range is wide enough that I'm considering a call, thinking about it for about a minute, when lagtard makes the following offer:

Lagtard: "I'll show you a card for $100."
Me: "Umm....."
Lagtard: "How about I show you both my cards for $300."
Me: "Really?"
Lagtard: "Sure."

Obviously I jump at this. I give him the $300, and he flips over...

A2hh. No pair. Just a flush draw.

Um... thanks bud. I cover you, I call.

River bricks, ship it.

He just said "oh you have the jacks, nice hand." And then he asked me to change the $300 into smaller chips (I had given him 3 $100 chips), which he promptly lost in two or three hands and then he left.

He also said something about getting 5 to 1 on his flush draw and wanting to gamble.... I'm not sure if he meant his 1600 to my 300 or some other gorilla math, but whatever.

You mean you did not raise him the $300 you just gave him?

Wait, you had top pair AND a flush draw against a maniac and you considered folding?

Should have saved yourself the $300 and called him anyway.
