Hey Outspan,
I think this is a decent example of a situation where we don't really want to bet that large despite the drawy texture.
Firstly if opponent just flats he likely has no strong made hands and we can think about bombing a blank turn. Secondly if he does x/r we aren't that happy about it. Theoretically it will be a defend, but the smaller we cbet the easier and more profitable it will be to defend against a x/r since it will likely also be smaller with large amounts of stacks left behind to play for.
