If the villain was like you (ie someone who can't fold big pairs to aggression when overcards hit the board) then you should call and expect him to have rivered a set of Tens 75% of the time.

Again I thought the main reason this was interesting was because in theory he should be checking all his range to me on river other then bluffs. That is mostly what I wanted to discuss.

yea he should be, which is one reason why folding is absurd.

Not sure I totally agree with this.

Being oop - I think most good players would value-bet as well as bluff the river. (As you stated - his hand becomes very polarized.) And really good ones will shove a bluffy value-bet that confuses the hell out of you. I guess the size of the bet might be indicative that he's at the very top of his range... but still, it's a longshot.

I think he got lucky that your hand was as strong as it really was. Any TPTK or medium 2-pair easily gets away from this. And if YOU were the one on the spade draw, you insta-muck.
