i dont really want to go to the felt here. i felt if i bet half pot it looks really weak and i open myself up to a bluff/semibluff that i dont want to call. if i pot it here im basically committed.. ill have 300 left on river in a 600 pot. likewise i think a checkraise here would have to be all in.
