Oh yeah - Alex is smart, and maybe he could learn enough in a day to beat a donkish home game by playing ABC tight poker. Maybe. The kind of players I often play with eat ABC players for lunch, though. :p
Oh - you said that the guy has probably seen you check raise before. Is that something you do often? (I usually play PL or NL, and I very rarely check raise - admittedly it is more viable in limit and spread limit games.). Reason I ask is this - when I note someone is overusing the check raise, I'll make a point to 3 bet over them more often, even with air. I wouldn't want that to happen in this spot with a hand that has marginal showdown value.
