Hilarious

I knew this guy was playing a little wild, but I really didn't fully appreciate the extent of it until this happened. Incidentally, do you like the play here from me? I had him on a pair of queens and figured all my outs were clean, so I definitely wasn't folding unless maybe he had shoved all in on the turn. Since he didn't I figured I'd just do it for him.

I was counting 15 outs, but I actually had 21:

I don't like the turn raise here. Your outs give you reason to call not raise on this board. Good for you robbing a chump blind, but you very easily could have been beaten.

I wasn't sure how I felt about it at the time. I think this might be a better move on the flop - with two cards to come I'm actually a favorite over any medium-strength hand like one pair. I wasn't expecting him to end our little raise war on the flop so I guess I transferred my aggression to the turn without really thinking about it.

There's also a case for this move if you think there's a decent chance (let's say 20%) that the other guy will fold, but I pretty much knew this guy wasn't folding, so I don't know why I hair-triggered like that.
