You really think MP1 will follow us the whole way with a capped flop, all the way until the river? I was pretty sure that the action was getting capped on the turn, and I wanted to string MP1 along as far as possible...

I'm sure enough to push it on the flop. MP's first turn call was actually giving him worse pot odds than if he had to call your bet on the flop, and he still made that one. Plus, people are usually looser calling on the small streets than the big ones.

once he got trapped into the turn action, I wanted him to see the pot as "too big to fold."

That's true, you do want him to think this. But I think it becomes even more effective on the turn if you bloat the pot on the flop.
