For once, a hand with the absolute nuts. However my question on that River is, how big can I raise to extract a much value as possible, while maybe induce a shove by Villain?
I was afraid that shoving the River outright, so deep, might make Villain fold. So I decided to raise about 2.5x his bet to induce a possible reraise. I admit, though, that 50bb remaining behind when he called left a bad taste in my mouth... Would you have done different here? Would you have shoved?
May be a bit weird to ask that type of question when the hand is 100% won, but it is an occasion to improve value extraction.
And yes, I considered 3betting, but given that Villain is a total unknown and I give the benefit of the doubt to his UTG raise I decided to call and see a flop.
