I had this play made on me a few weeks ago (me being the "unknown"). There was a "nut" in the hand who bet the river with his A high, the "hero" raised with his 97s after pairing his 9 on the turn, and I folded QQ (the flop had a K in it). When the hands were shown I got upset to say the least. In order to make this play, you want to be fairly sure that then "unknown" is tight enough to fold a better hand. The "hero" in my hand knew this of me...he thought I had folded AK, but I would have called with that. Worked out well for him...he knew that there was no chance to win the hand unless he faced me with calling 2 cold on the river.
