Thanks, reading the last handful of posts a bit more carefully I think I basically agree with how you are thinking about the spot. I think it will be obvious to a good player on this river that 1) Axss is going to be one of the worst bluff candidates (not to say it can’t be bluffed) and 2) everything else Ahi or worse is a ~mandatory jam, so whether V is overbluffing will come down to how OOL he got on earlier streets + Axss bluffs. My rough estimate of Vs value here is 99, 44, 33, AJ, KJs/QJs/JTs/J9s, so like 25 unweighted combos (ignoring removal from your AA), and then there are like 12-14 combos of non Axss/non 9x flush draws and oesds ott, which works out pretty well ratio wise. If you drop AJo bc of pre you probably need to drop a couple of the worst flush draws too, so it doesn’t move the needle that much. If you start assuming he peels turn with pure gutters (A2dd, etc) or bluffs river with any pairs, then it very quickly becomes a +ev call with ~any pair. Having typed this all out I’m convincing myself it’s a decent spot to call pretty wide bc it’s pretty hard for him to underbluff (and it wouldn’t be by much), whereas it’s much easier for him to over bluff (and by more than he would underbluff) so the payoff is skewed in our favor even if he is playing reasonably most of the time.
