What worse hands will call a shove OTR when V will see your hand anyway?
So he had like 320 left going into the river so a min raise is basically a shove. There would be something like 450 in the main pot and 620 in the side pot and it would be 180 for him to call so he would be getting an outrageously good price with a hand like 99-JJ.
Im going to spoil the results by saying after I called and he said I was good but didn't immediately muck. I didn't make him show, I just showed and then he mucked. It was a really weird bet, I guess there are a few possibilities.
1. He was tilted and clicking buttons.
2. It's a weird merge/blocker to get me to fold the side pot and he has a hand that will probably win the main pot. If he has a hand like A6, 65, or 88 there is a good chance he will win the main pot if he can get me off 99/TT/JJ. Maybe he plans to call a small bet with those hands anyway and he's giving himself a good price to occasionally fold out a better hand.
3. He was bluffing just to win the side pot. I mean I guess he folds out AK but for that sizing I don't think I can ever fold 99-JJ.
