Sorry, I don't wish to divert your discussion as it's interesting, but..

I was interested in the plan for this hand when we raise the turn largely because I wasn't expecting this from villain. My turn raise is small as villain's turn continuation looked so weak (bad logic on my part), but this is the way fish butcher sets almost always, right?

Presumably this changes nothing and we still get it in?
