    Can you explain your raise size on the turn, why aren't you just shoving? (not saying I agree or disagree with shoving atm)

    edit - I call turn and then x/c river. Raising just gives him a chance to fold out his bluffs (or worse value hands) and checking the river allows villain to keep bluffing, and we don't really miss out on any value from not betting as he folds a lot of the hands we beat. As I don't see him playing many hands like QQ, JJ in this way. Maybe TT because any draw is the nuts at 5nl for some people.

    I was trying to make it look weak because I was raising/3betting/cbetting so much. Once he raised me on turn I had already decided I was committed to putting the rest of my stack in but I didn't want to shove in case villain was just playing back with air and he could then fold, I wanted him to be the one to go all-in just in case he thought he had some chance of pushing me out of the pot ( I know there isn't much left behind in my stack but most 5NL players don't notice these things imo, obv I am never folding for $1.19 more).
    Currently grinding live cash games. Life is good.

    This isn't a take-away line.

    He waited for you to bet his hand for him on the flop + turn and now he wants to try to play a really big pot.
