Trooper is thinking at level 1 (what he himself holds) and level 3 (what he thinks villian thinks Trooper holds) while entirely overlooking level 2 (what villain holds). This demonstrates that Trooper is stuck in his own head. It's the one of the strangest hand analysis I've ever heard. It's like he read only every other chapter of a poker strategy book.
I think he was also thinking at level 2. He mentioned villain possibly catching two pair on the river. I just think his level 2 and level 3 thinking is way off. He talks about hands in other videos and mentions what villain might have. He will mention one specific hand and never bothers with ranges.
He thought villain would see his $60 bet on the river as a bluff with a missed fd. I think villain would assume he has something. Also the common line with a missed fd is to check and fold the river, not to make a $60 bet.
Edit: Also if villain put him on a bluff, wouldn't villain often just call?
