More intuitively, you are oop vs a strong range with 2 outs to improve.
Whilst the maths may be correct, we cannot ever assume V is playing a strategy that is mathematically sound based on my c-betting %. If that were the case, we would find it incredibly hard to profit from the pool!
Also - insinuating that our/V's continuing range should be 44 & Kx on this texture is pretty insane, and massively exploitable.
I know that the majority of the pool is continuing with all 2-pairs (22-88 & 4x - assuming V 3-bets 99+ pre) - perhaps some players fold out their 22/33 and continue with there 4x+. Once again, I am not defending the play (although there is certainly a strong argument to be made in defense), but this is the pools standard continuing range IMO.
