i don't know if generosity is his motivation. a lot of live players pull this [censored] because they are variance-averse and have decided that they don't want to be greedy and are happy to win $X than possibly lose a pot of $X * 2, or whatever.

Umm I talk with terp a lot and he generally has pretty good insight into the psychology that bad players use at the table. You don't see people make retarded bets because the pot's "big enough already" and they're "happy to take it down?" This is some basic home poker [censored] dude.

not only have i heard this line of reasoning before, it is fairly common among live players. I often see people expose their hand hu in order to get the other player to fold a worse hand. there reasoning? "the pot was big enough, i didn't want him to get lucky and hit a two outer, i didn't need his whole stack. they are gamblers trying to lock up a win. it is irrational, but most bad players are.
