i just wanna hear some of your guys thoughts on trying to extract value in a heads up pot after you raised preflop on a safe flop. is it even worth the extra few bets the times they don't draw out on you? here's an example

i had mixed emotions; i was happy i got the extra bet since most likely he woulda folded to a cbet on the flop, but i also wasn't sure if this would work enough on a safe flop to be +EV. i'm thinking this is kind of a 90/10 or 80/20 thing - 80% of the time i should be cbetting, but 20% of the time i should try something like this? or maybe i'm thinking a little too much for NL$5, hehe. i'm not sure, what do you guys think? is this a good spot for something like this? should i be raising the turn?
