He only has $100 left on the turn. Should I make a smaller raise perhaps rather than putting him all-in?

UTG ($67.90)
MP ($234.70)
CO ($1008)
Hero ($1054.45)
SB ($396)
BB ($658.05)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J, Q.
1 fold, MP calls $4, 1 fold, Hero raises to $16, 2 folds, MP calls $12.

Flop: ($38) 4, 4, T (2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets $24, MP raises to $48, Hero calls $24.

Turn: ($134) 2 (2 players)
MP bets $52, Hero raises to $990.45, MP folds.

Final Pot: $1176.45

No, that's worse. I type in their exact stack when I WANT them to fold. Seems to have a psychological effect in my experience.

I like 2/3 - 3/4 of their stack. If they call, you have a good chance of getting the rest on the river. They either put themselves in or you put them in. A push isn't bad here either though.
