I guess. I mean, that would be standard, but I wasn't feeling a cont bet. I think any pocket pair peels once there, and I didn't expect hardly any unpaired cards to be in his range. So it didn't seem like there's much of anything he would fold; at least not for one barrel. I was intending to check-fold, but when he bet that ridiculous $50, everything changed.

My spider sense said he was weak, and not trying to suck me in with a monster. But a CR will look like total BS, because that bet so obviously induces it. On the other hand, a call looks stronger and will probably buy me two cards if I wanted, thus I'm almost priced in. (I wasn't check-calling $80.) I still reserve the option of making a move on a later street, which seems more believable. (I think I'd be more likely to donk a non-diamond turn, than a diamond one; I don't want 8d8x to look me up. And that $50 could be him trying to buy himself a cheap river with a flush draw.)

Then when I hit, my plan changed again.
