This is fine; you're not ahead of much.

Why was his bet ridiculous?

Anyway, yes this is standard. I'd probably bet a tad more on the turn, but whatever.

i thought his bet was ridiculous because if he is trying to extract value, he is going about it all wrong, especially against me. throwing tons of money into smallish pots in ridiculous IMO.

thanks for the info fellas.

my bet was roughly 63% of pot, what would you have bet?

I think your bet sizes and fold on the turn are fine, but I don't think his bet was ridiculous.

Baluga theorem makes this a fold. The Turn card completed some straight draws and gave other oesds a bigger pair than yours. Standard fold. Rest of the hand is good.

Well, Baluga doesn't apply directly, but this situation is pretty close to it.
