I look at this as a classic semi-bluff. The chips have to get in the middle somehow, and you possibly buy yourself a free look at the river by betting here.
If he comes at you on the turn you have a decision to make. Because of your read any bet on the turn likely means he has at least something, and you can decide whether or not to continue. Even if you end up folding, you're still a solid 3rd in chips five-handed with a 20+BB stack which is not a bad spot, eh?
Wee!

Okay thanks. There is another hand also I would like to discuss about. It includes the same player as the first hand (SB) now he is UTG.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed)

SB (t1795)
BB (t1050)
UTG (t4835)
Hero (t5820)
Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls t150, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t750</font>, <font color="#666666">
2 folds</font>, UTG calls t600.
I think my raise was too big [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] but I didn't really know how much to raise to get the pot HU.
Flop: (t1725) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t600</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t1200</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1800</font>, UTG calls t600.
UTG has something. Only thing I'm afraid is slowplayed aces.

Maybe raise this turn? I was going to call all-in or go all-in on river anyway.
