The type of hands that missed and would need to bluff to win are minimized because of the T. We are left with QJ and suited connectors like 98s/87s/etc. But the problem is that our 88 blocks a lot of them.
If BTN makes a small bet like 2bb to 4bb I might call (crying) but any normal size river bet is a fold.
Thanks, so better to call with 77, 66 or 55 for example.
Another thing, if the BTN had a ten he can easily check for SDV but he could also merge his range and bet a Ten because BB will think its either a King or a bluff and possibly call. So in turn BTN is getting more value from his hand.
