I agree with you but...
Running thru my mind was the fact that last week, V2 watched this hand.
LW=last week villains. I have KK, 3bet pre to $65 and get two callers. Flop = JT2. It is checked to me and I bet $125 and get two calls. Turn = JT25 and LWV1 bets $100, LWV2 calls, and fearing a trap, I raise to only $300, getting two calls. The river is some low noise card, LWV1 bets $150, LWV2 goes all in for $650 and I fold.
They both show. LWV1 had something like KT for a pair of tens, LWV2 had JQ for a pair of Js. Yeah, I know, I thought about posting that hand so I would get yelled at for not raising larger on the turn and
maybe learn my lesson. This week's V2 correctly guessed after the hand that I had folded an overpair.
So was V2 trying to run a big bluff? I had to consider that as a possibility but decided it was a low probability.
I don't think V1 is capable of that kind of bluff and has to have something, maybe a nut flush and led pre with AKd or AQd. That doesn't make perfect poker sense, but there's a lot I don't respect about V1's game, so I mark it as another possibility but low probability in light of a raise and reraise in front of him. He's not stupid bad.
