Re: What is my opponent thinking here?
I didn't know what he had and therefore had no idea how much he would call on the river. Getting him to fold the worst hand has no value, and it also reinforces the idea in his mind that I am playing straightforward and he can just keep stealing from me whenever I don't show strength.
I felt like my line for that hand would effectively convery the message "I think you are so full of [censored] that I'm going to let you bet for me even right after I've checkraised."
