I think it's right where you want to be. A guy with plenty of chips, who's willing to put them in the middle light? Sure, it's tough to tell when he has the nuts and you might stack off, but if you're a tight, aggressive player, you want that action. Couple of things to remember...

#1. Forget about bluffing him. Have a hand or don't play.

#2. Be patient. Repeat: have a hand or don't play.

#3. Make him pay to chase a draw. No free cards.

#4. Don't let your emotions get the better of you.

#4 is probably the most important. That situation can be totally frustrating since he obviously doesn't "deserve" those racks. Detach yourself from the emotion and focus on getting your money in right. Trust that math and time will sort it out in your favor.
