How is our hand not vulnerable? Do you just mean it's not good enough for us to care if we get blown off of it? Because there are definitely a LOT of turn cards that make our hand have less relative strength, if that's what you mean.

No, he was definitely confused. This was not the typical, "What the hell do you have? Oh well, I'm all-in," move. Not saying that made it a good bet on my part -- I definitely leveled myself. But the confusion was real.

Curious why the bigger sizing here. When I've got a laggier image, I'm more likely to get check-raised or played back at pre- and post-flop, so I like to go for a little bigger than 1/2 pot if I'm going to bet, rather than 3/4. Also, there are some old dudes at table who can definitely check-call w/ a T here. But I'm open to hearing why 3/4 is better.
Also, I don't know that we can take your line against his stack size. He has $94 left on flop, we bet $25 and get called, leaving $69 behind and a pot of $74 after rake. What sizing can we b/f on turn?

I check back the river though. Sure he could have J9 or 98, but he could just as easily have A9 or K9.
My thought was that he could much more easily have J9, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 92, 88, 77, 66, 55, 44, or Axdd than A9 or K9. He straddled, so his preflop range is literally ATC. I thought he check-calls a small bet with any of those hands (maybe not Axdd). I didn't think he checks turn AND river (after I check back turn) with a T or a 3.
