I should tell you a little more about what I was thinking. First, I had no read on this guy -- no PTO stats and no other read. I had no idea that he would call me down with the kind of hand that he had. Looking at his stats now after a bit of datamining, he turned out to be a bit of a calling station -- specifically, he was SL preflop and he rarely folded on the turn and river.
Once the turn card hit, I figured that I was in the range of where Goopers twodimes numbers put me -- 40% to 60%. I had lots of outs for the low, the flush, and a ragged high (e.g., set, 2pr, etc.). He didn't bet out, which was really rare for this game, so I had to assume that he didn't really like his hand too much. As such, my pot equity plus fold equity that I thought I had (but really didn't) seemed to make the turn bet a reasonable one. I was willing to go to the felt even if he CRed me on the turn. In fact, I thought there was a good chance that this would happen.
Anyway, had I known that he was unlikely to fold, I definitely agree that taking a card would have been right.
Also, Gooper, I wouldn't really call the 200 tables "moving up" from the 100s -- at least not when there is a lot of table selection. The quality of play (or lack, thereof) strikes me as very similar to the 100s. I was sitting at this table simply because it was the loosest one of the 100s and 200s. For some reason, I have become somewhat numb to the betting amounts, and I am able to just focus on my game. If you have a chance, I encourage you to do some 200 datamining. You'll find that a lot of the players are the same as the 100s (both good and bad players), and there are plenty of people who have no problem dumping a stack with 2pr on a flush board.
