i suppose from time to time, he will out draw you so maybe push that up to 10 times the inital bet.

but yes, knowing what hand he has is a *huge* advantage. you can take his stack away from time to time. Fold if flop misses you. but when it hits, you get his stack. that's great.
this is wrong. you need something like 12x raise to call because you won't stack the other guy verytime you hit your set
