And that is exactly the point on the river! It's supposed to look fishy, weak and terrible. Every time we see it, it's usually a terrible bet because it shows a complete lack of knowledge of what is happening in the hand
I'm not advocating it should be something we use bet often, it's just this hand we have the 2nd nuts and the nuts are basically so outlandishly difficult to have that we essentially have the nuts... And the front door FD just came in... And the only A that isn't accounted for by our hand and the board is the NF A. It's basically a perfect storm for a bet to induce a raise.
And you know as well as I do that we should never say we'll "never/always" wrt actions in hands
Either way, no offense taken...

Fwiw, if you look at my original post where I said "same bet", I did also say open shove was the other option and I would base it on V reads
