No, not the turn.

You want to get that flop action....your opponents are more likely to stuff more chips in there than on the turn or river (and it's not close)...this changes if you are trying to induce a bluff (opponent dependent).

As for the opponent, he was super aggro -- taking down lots of pots on the flop. So yes, I was trying to induce a bluff. I was playing pretty tightly, so I figured if I came out betting he'd put me on a big hand.

Of course, a slow play is pretty obvious here. Truth be told, I think the only way I was making any more money was a modest bet on the river, which he might call having hit his ace. But that would require seeing through the cards.

Sounds to me like you played it fine. Had you slowplayed a hand against him before? Maybe he'd been scared away from bluffing you on a paired board.
