Yea I made posts folding big hands, but in almost all of them, there was little or more likely no reasonable bluffing hands -- in this case there's an obvious one. It was also usually against straightforward opponents, something Dwan is anything but.
The original plan with AQ was certain to check call a river bet. In fact I'll even one up that and say he checked to induce a bluff (and bc he cant afford to be raised yea) What I don't understand is when Dwan bets MORE than he intended him to, why this changes ANYTHING when all his bet does is lessen his range tremendously (to nuts or air)
Like I said it goes back to previous history. Has Dwan overbet in this fashion before? Has he showed down? What has he showed down? Is this capable of being a sick bluff (hint yes) And to be fair is this capable of a super sick value bet (hint yes also). What does he think of me? Do I make big laydowns? Do I call too much? etc etc
But if u planned to c/c and his giant bet only shrinks his range, I have to imagine you cant back down now. If it's nuts/air I call more often than not
