Obviously, his call on the turn was wrong (thus a call you want him to make). However, the way you played the hand may have convinced him that he had more outs than he really did.

Preflop: You raise is too small. Make it at least 75 to go. You bet 50 into a 45 pot, giving a single caller better than 2:1. Once one player calls that, it's correct for the others to come along.

Flop: Unless you've been betting the flop when you hit and checking when you miss all night, you're risking giving all the draws on earth a free shot at you. You have to bet out here.

Turn: The problem with overbetting the turn is it now looks like you're trying to buy the pot with something like AQ. If he thinks that's the case, he believes he has 21 outs and is a 6:5 dog getting nearly 3:2 from the pot.

Now here's the crux of the matter. What you've done is forced him to make an FTOP error by calling. Great, right? You win 2/3 of the time you're called. But if you're going to whine the 1/3 of the time you lose, play the hand differently.
