File this under: Don't do that! (second edition)

Just stop.  Seriously... just stop!

Deep stacked at a $0.05/0.10.  We're sitting on $60.59 effective (our opponent has a greater amount of chips as compared to us.  This one comes complete with notes; my notes on villain are "overreps 22; bet turn / riv."  I've added notes since, but he's a fish, to be sure!

He opens to $0.35 and I flat in the HJ with Ah7h along with the BTN.  Perfect hand very deep stacked - it's a nut flush hand, along with the top pair that is going to be good some of the time.  Given my opponent's overplay ability, I'm content seeing a flop with 600BB behind.

$1.20 in the middle; flop is AsAc2h.  Opponent leads for $0.90.  I flat.  I don't think I'm ever getting away from the hand, but I don't think I can call an open shove for 6 buy-ins.

$3.00 in the middle, turn is 5c.  He leads pot, and I happily call again.  I'm kind of kind check down mode but it's costing me each street.

$9.00 in the middle; river is 7d, completing my top boat, and as a matter of fact, the nuts.  No real non-nut hands possible besides a cooler'd better Ace, A2, A5 and sets.  To my delight, he leads again for $6.75.  This train is going to value town!  I ship $56.00 even, which he of course snaps off - proudly showing none other than 3d4d?????  He turned a straight but couldn't fold for a 600BB ship?  My targets were squarely worse boats & cooler'd Aces... a straight was not even on my radar!

Don't do that!
