In Villain's shoes you would have believed that Hero's story that he had a set trying to make a flush draw fold?
Actually, he's played less than a full orbit with the big blind and has no reads on the big blind which makes this spot all the worse because we have no clue if big blind is good enough to fold top pair in this spot. Turns out, big blind was at what should have been the very bottom of his range in this spot (perhaps it's not) and he still couldn't find a fold button.
However, you make a valid point about hero's line. If hero is 18 years old his line looks full of crap. If he's 94 years old then I range him on Aces.
