basically i assumed his lead on the turn is a really wide range, and i also assumed that if i raise he can pay it with a fairly wide range in terms of draws as well as made hands like weaker top pairs. basically i was thinking i was raising for value here.

in a lot of cases I would just flat here, to bet a checked river, or to call if i feel they are bluffing rivers as well.

i guess one way to look at it this way is if this guy is pretty aggro (AF 8.9) then do i really want to build a much bigger pot in this spot when he could be making some pretty big semi bluffs or other plays? i think the answer is no. next time i'll keep it small and easy to play.

he had set 4's
