I wouldn't go that far.

Turn bet size put us in a tough spot for that laydown.

This is a desperation bluff more than 10% of the time against an unknown.

The other question of how he should play it is should there have been a push postflop or possibly even preflop?
There aren't any reads, so MP1 could be bluffing the rippy, but it's logical to assume he's holding something strong, but obviously not stronger than AA, though perhaps tempting enough to call the AI. I won't claim it as my own gem of knowledge , but AA wins the small pot and loses the big pot. We all know who said that.
When the flop didn't help the villain's hand, save for a possible flush draw or two-runner straight (could the villain be showing this much strength with 10-Js?) IMHO the push would take the pot right there and not risk turns and rivers helping.
However, and this is my question, a preflop push against an MP1 semi-strong bet would either induce the -EV call or stop the villain from bluffing too much strength in EP and MP? Is this thinking totally correct or is the push an overbet? I imagine it would need some reads to accurately say.

I would raise to $6 pre-flop, maybe more depending on reads, etc. Bet 2/3 - 3/4 pot on the flop for balance then figure it out from there on the turn. On the turn either I want it all in, pot-commit myself or go for pot control.
