Ok. That's fine. So you take the calculated risk, which, to you in this situation, is worth it. What this also means is that, when he hits, you have to say, "Well I accomplished my goal, which was slow-playing so he would give me his chips, and I lost. I could have avoided it, but I didn't."

And any complaining isn't justified, because of the risk that you could have avoided.

Again, I know this is after a long series of beats. But it seems that this is the kind of situation you want to avoid after a long day of bad beats. If you have the chance to take down a nice pot AND avoid tilt, isn't that better than making a bigger gamble and risking getting really pissed off?
