With your description of villian this might have affected your play. However, maybe it is because you had 240+ bbs and you were afraid of a cooler or something.

Raise the turn. If he pushes/re-raise I pay off a cooler here. I dunno if some people would tend to play this safe or careful, but there is no way I am missing out on any value from this kind of player.
