Yeah, this logic seems fine. Your read is obviosuly more refined than I saw in the original post. My thoughts were:
1. You'd really like to take this pot down right now. 2. Josh might perhaps sense weakness in your $50 bet and realize a raise would win this pot.
I don't necessarily agree that you're "keeping the pot small." Really what you're doing is trying not to get committed with such a vulnerable hand, which funnily enough is exactly what wound up happening.
I was also influenced by my initial througts that calling a pot sized bet from a reasonable player with a pair of tens on fifth street seems like suicide. And this seems like much, much more than overplaying.
I'm going to take a longer look at this later, but I'm curious about the differencein pot size and stack size on that 5th street bet.
Again, like I said, I know basically nothing about stud.
