Just wanted to address this aside. Depending on your stack size related to the size of the blinds, this can sometimes be a good call for him preflop if he puts you on a big pair, due to implied odds. If he hits a flop hard, he can be pretty confident that he can take your whole stack, and if not he can get out for a relatively small loss.
