True but I don't like your bet sizing.

I like pot-3/4pot-whatever the hell is left. I like making a larger turn bet and actually having less behind on the river. Why? Well, I commit myself and my opponent at the same time and seeing how we have a larger equity in the pot we definitely want to do this. Also, a bit of psychological play comes in when you have to call less on the river than you did on the turn. If you want to get fully paid off you don't want someone having to call 1/2 their stack off on the river.
