Villain was like mariano vs yoh viral in this hand. Yoh viral tries to represent a thin range with an aggro line and mariano keeps instant calling him and pushing yoh's chips into the pot like saying: " I know what you are doing but I won't let you run over me". Then Mariano freezes when Yoh make a 2x overbet on the river.
Sometimes opponents are not in folding mood
I think sometimes our subconscious is able to figure out things that our conscious mind can't logically explain. I thought whoever was doing the commentating explained the situation well throughout the hand. On paper, Mariano should fold there. But maybe he just knew in his gut that Yoh was FOS, without really knowing why or being able to find Yoh's bluffs.
I think him calling a 2x pot over bet with 3rd pair is way more hero than your V tank-calling with top set. It would have been interesting to see if your line would have worked against KK/QQ. I think that would be a more analogous spot, with you repping thin, and trying to fold out a super narrow range that he actually has. If you knew V had AA, I hope you wouldn't have tried to get him to fold. But KK/QQ would be in the blender there.
