Waz1892 by joining in and discussing these types of situations,no matter how experienced you are,it is always good input as it gets you thinking and you will get an insight into how others apply logic [good or bad] to there reads.Notice i say reads as it is mostly beneficial to have some sort of read on your opponent when making these sort of calls.

if he had a monster wouldnt he usually be value betting the turn rather than just shipping it in, its not like if he bets he has to go all in there.
This is a common mistake that i used to make once and that i see others do time after time [its a leak in your game if you do it] why would you when you have a monster value bet giving away the strength of your hand? in poker the idea of betting is to confuse and induce incorrect calls or folds !!
My friend who i have been helping lately was doing this,it seems to me a more common mistake amongst intermediate skill level players, my friend was recently in a situation with AKo in the cut off with a lag on the button who used position very well and was giving my mate a torrid time coming over the top of him in the last few pots he had played. It was a six handed $1/2 nl ring game he raised $7 the button called , the flop came
my friend leads out for $12 the button calls the turn is
he bets $32 and the button folds,not such a mistake a lot would argue , he played the hand well sometimes i might check the turn just to mix up my game a bit but when i asked him his thought process on it he replied i didnt think that he had me beat but because of the last few pots i wanted to let him know that i had the goods................i explained to him that against this type of opponent that a check on the turn would be a better play "let him try and bluff the turn,there is no point in this situation in representing it,against this type of player and this situation a check is best,against most players the turn bet is the best option but sometimes the idea is to try and trick them" it wasnt untill i asked him his thought process that we found a leak in his game and now he is working towards fixing it with this ringing in his ears from me -
When you make a bet or raise on any street,ask yourself these questions.
What am i hoping my opponent does?
Is this bet likely to accomplish that?
What hands am i trying to get to fold?
What hands am i trying to get to call?
What hands am i trying to get to reraise?
What hand different from mine am i representing?
