what hands could he have called the flop bet for a big chunk of his stack with and then decide that he doesn't want to play that same hand for the rest of his stack, trying to triple up?

when he called the flop bet, he might have had any pair, Ax, QJ, JT, I put him on a wide range.

so you put him on a super wide range of hands on the flop, for some reason or the other, and also knew him well enough to know that he would bluff often on the turn? this is all very unlikely. it's not that likely that your opposition (at whatever level this is, you didn't say anything) is so sophisticated, and that you possibly have shown them that you play so poorly previously, that they're going to be taking a card off for 1/4 of their stack on the flop with the intention of taking the pot away from you with garbage if you check on the turn. the guy most likely has SOMETHING here, and he's getting like 3/1 on the turn. just tapping him should be more than adequate. if you really wanted to, you could bet like 2/3 of his stack.
