Even if he does just have Ace high or a small pair he's still ahead of you and will win 75% of the time. The pot by now has got large, and its heads up. Its extremely unlikely that he's going to fold on the turn given his earlier play.

You're wrong here. Even though the player making this flop bet at you with ace-high or a small pair is aggressive by definition, that doesn't make him an imbecile. When you raise the flop, getting it headsup, and he calls with his cheese, then the turn is a total miss, these are precisely the types of hands that you need to bet the turn against.

This, I imagine, is exactly why Ed so adamantly requires a bet on this turn at a small-stakes online holdem table.
