I agree the feeler bet was a bit weak. I wasn't trying to put him off a J; I expected he'd call any bet up to the pot size with middle pair. I expected him only to fold Ace-high or weaker. I didn't need to make a pot size bet to get him to fold that (I think that's probably what he folded), and I didn't want to commit more chips if he had a J. He was passive enough that he'd check again on the turn unless he improved to two-pair or better, so I was a favorite to see a free river if I was drawing live.
