Yes, some players need to sense weakness before they bet, but your hand isnt that strong to begin with,
You are the 92% favorite. If that isn't strong, then what is?
A 92% favorite? On the turn knowing his exact two cards yes. On the river without knowing his cards, no. You have TPTK you do not want to slowplay this. You slowplay when your hand is strong enough that even if your opponents hand improves [which you would want it to], you still beat them and are able to get them to commit more than they would otherwise. This hand is clearly not against a thinking player as the turn paired the board and the hero suddenly makes a PSB but the villain pushes. I have no reason to believe that villain wouldnt have gone all in on this flop, and you ahvent shown any reason that they wouldnt have. Showing weakness is good to get a villain to bet at you on the next street, but not with a hand like TPTK on a board with a flush draw.
