By the river, the pot is sufficiently big that MP2 calls with any sort of pair or bigger

KK-TT must be thinking about the pre-flop 3-bet.

they will NEVER fold here.

Euro: I really don't like the river bet.


Do you really think that he:

a) raises preflop
b) bets the flop
c) calls you on the river

with enough hands to be +EV?

What can he have to call with? 88 and 77 are the obvious hands. And you would miss a value bet.

BUT, I think TT-QQ are far more likely than 77 or 88 (most raise TT,JJ or QQ only some raise 77 or 88).

This all changes, of course, if he calls with king high. Then it is a value bet. BUT, does he bet king high on the flop? Seems like an odd thing to do, no?

I like the free showdown.
