What's your read like on this guy? Any chance of him maybe willing to see 1 more card for $7 on a flush draw? I've been getting outdrawn a lot on flushes lately, so am probably a bit paranoid, but would still be wary.

Personally I'm raising to $21 here instead of $14 ... am I making a pretty bad play here?

No you're not making a bad play.

I forgot to preface this by saying the villain in question is a drunken Pay-off Wizard. He doesn't need to have a flush draw here or even a pair.

Normally, though, I can't worry too much about a flush draw against a single player.

Good bet and good raise there DC. If you do not see a Club on that turn I think I would pop him real hard after the turn.

Hopefully, for his sake, a very good chance.
