That was exactly my feeling. He was betting a lot when he was (probably) way behind, but rolling over to anyone playing back at him. On the flop I figured him for 3-5 outs, and with his turn overbet I felt comfortable that I was ahead (and had at least 4, possibly 7 clean outs in my pocket if I was incorrect). Then the river was a simple case of "is my rivered set ahead of two random cards on a 4 to a straight board". And I guessed the answer was yes. In a multi-way pot I might have raised to clarify the situation and shore up the strength of my hand, but since it was just me and him and I had position, I felt comfortable letting him string himself up.
