I have such a hard time understanding the mindset behind a play like this, and thus ranging these opponents. Did he think he was value betting or bluffing? Or is that not even the right way to think about it?
I too, am curious about the right way to think about it. Currently and generally, I'm narrowing V's range far too much in response to actions in the hand, and I'm levelling myself. E.g., I thought (on little evidence) that this turn bet was indicative of a smaller flush, or other made hand, trying to prevent a larger flush draw from completing. And then wondering if we should semi-bluff shove the As, and if LSLNL players fold baby flushes or sets here.
Way too much unwarranted overthinking. EDIT: and not nearly enough foundational work on bet-sizing, IO, RIO, and bets that force V mistakes.
