In a certain sense, you are right. He might make this bet thinking I cannot call. Ultimately, I thought his bluffing frequency is high enough that in fact I did call.

I waited a while to see what people thought he might have and I guess it is safe to say that one here would put him on this hand.
He had T9o.
He call a near pot bet on the turn with a gutshot. Even with the extra money he made on the river, he still was not getting anywhere near the right odds to call with that hand!

If I knew going in to the hand that he was such a big donk, I would've folded the river. These donks just like to call and then make a big bet when they hit their hand.

Of course, there are a number of different ways I could've played the hand. If I bet the flop, I might take it down or get raised. However, one of the villains might decide to call and slowplay a hand or call with a str8 and/or flush draw.
That's the problem with betting this flop.
I don't think I have the best hand, but I might. If I get called, I'm not sure if I'm facing a monster or a draw. More often than not, I guess it will be a draw since by sheer probability, my opponents won't flop a monster so often.
