Another option with these stack sizes is to checkraise all-in on the turn, although I don't know if typical players in this game are aggressive enough to make this your best move.

I'm never purposefully putting my stack in with TPTK without a damn good read that villain is either drawing or calling down with a worse kicker. I don't often have enough information here. I think only worse hands are calling this move.

If we can get him to put in over half his stack with a worse hand before folding then I'd say we've done an excellent job of both getting value and protecting our hand. And I don't really seeing you providing any betting alternatives... if this goes to showdown without your stack getting involved then you almost certainly have the best hand. I'm more concerned with keeping the pot small the times I lose, not the times I win...
