Yeah, I think the difference there is we didn't know at the time that V was incapable of folding an overpair. I agree that it's exactly what it looked like he had. My mindset was that this V was typically competent enough, and we were certainly deep enough, that he would strongly consider laying down an overpair to the turn raise. My raise looks like its completely for value, and we can rep all the sets plus a straight. He had to know that he would likely be facing a huge river bet, so he essentially commits to calling down a 600bb pot with one pair. I thought there was a significant chance he would dump it there, and if not, we have good equity.
Now I know he won't fold an overpair, and if this exact spot happened again, I would c/c the turn.
