In general no, I was not playing scared, but this guy had been playing very steady, betting and calling when ahead post flop (only a few orbits). Stats say 40/10/1 though I didn't have them on me then.
After the obvious cbet, I just got the feeling this was one of those times I don't want my entire stack in for TPTK. I guess that's the definition of playing scared.
Also the Q is a huge scare card on the turn, as AQ was one of the few hands I could have really dominated without that card. If the turn was a low card I was definitely double barrelling here, either way, was always going to bet the river if he checked there.
