Not if we’re at the rock bottom. But I don’t think hero is. Plus if our Range is essentially K8-KQ exactly and our opponent is repping AK or better, or a bluff, it really doesn’t matter what hands we select as a call in terms of where they are in our range. Just what they block from villain. What I really don’t want is anything blocking the backdoor flush draw, as those are the hands most likely to barrel off (as they have equity and don’t block our own draws)

Agreed. But V has raised pre, shown aggression on every street and H is capped. Some of his bluffs Axs combos have SDV on this runout. I feel like his barreling range is pretty narrow on this runout. So while we unblock lots of his bluff range, I need lots of hours with this V to make this call. I feel like he’d play Aks or AA similarly- 14 combos versus some AQs he might take his sdv with and his A5s he might try this line with.
