BB would've folded to a raise on the turn mostly likely. So even though it ends up heads-up basically you're saying put in the money on the turn instead of the river so
A) EP1 still thinks he has a chance since there's another card left to come
B) I have the chance to put in more money
Seems like a better strategy...

I'll take that, I see I played it as a total wimp. I just started playing poker a little over a month ago and realize that building confidence and being less weak is my #1 priority. I was probably over-thinking how much my image to that point came into play.

That's 3x25 calls on the turn, $75 total, so the pot was $140 going into the river after the rake.
I did manage to get KK, TT after this hand and they both flopped a winning set also. This definitely was my best night since I started playing, but it sounds like it could've been a lot better.
