Its an unorthodox play but my reasoning at the time was that he has better than one pair here almost never

I don't understand. What do you think villain is doing with AJo/J8s-AJs/99-TT/sets on this flop and turn?

look at stack sizes, he doesnt have 2pr or sets here really and most hands he has are weak enough that he will probably fold them tho he may elect to call and force him to follow up on the river.

i think i like a little bigger c/r tho.

AJo/J8s-AJs/99-TT

Folding a very high number of these if he is a thinking player and OP doesn't have a maniac image. Folding out better hands is a big part of poker against thinking players, and this is a beautiful spot for it.

sets

He doesn't have JJ. There is only one combo of 88 left in the deck. That leaves 4 combo's of hands that are sets, which means if we can c/r the turn here and make him fold his overwhelming percent of top pair hands which are ahead of us, this is very +EV.
