If V truly is a nit, then his range on the river is 88, 99, and TT, and AKdd. Nits are not cold-calling pre with AdTx and not bombing three streets with a draw.
If V is not truly a nit, then 77, JJ, AdTx, and some other hands we beat enter into his range. But you need to tell us whether this is the case. And even then, I am not sure we can give him a wide enough range to justify the call. We need to be good 25% of the time.
I think the turn call may be a mistake. We are getting 2.8:1 on the call but at best we have 12 outs and our flush outs may not be outs at all (AdAx, KdKx, AKdd, AJdd). Our implied odds may also be close to zero, if V is a competent reader of the board and can fold when a four-flush or four-straight is staring him in the face.
He is def a nit, been playing with him for years in different venues. His cold calling range in my mind has to be pairs and AK (I feel that he is 4-betting KK+ almost always).
My reasoning for calling turn - and I was very much on the fence about it btw - was that he could be betting JJ (especially with a J of diamonds) for value and would check back the river being a nit and all. (Also not expected a call from JJ on the river if I lead.) Also he does have it in him to fire a couple of semi-bluffs with the AKo with one card being a diamond.
It seems like we agree mostly in our reasoning on turn and river. How do you feel about not going the standard way and betting the flop?
