I'm going to address this post directly since it's a pretty massive jab.
1) I've already acknowledged I'm overfolding by making this play. However, I take a lot of exception to hand waving "pot is big" type arguments, because sometimes it doesn't matter.
2) I'm not convinced my line was right. However, listing hands he never has for value isn't exactly a compelling argument as to why it's wrong.
You're not allowed to hate the 3 bet and then still argue that I should call down. If we wanted to take a showdown line, we don't 3 bet the turn. And how much are we really being exploited when we've numerous 2 pairs, sets, and some straights that can call this river?
You can call the 3 bet too ambitious, or you can call the fold too exploitable. But it can't be both, because by definition, if I shouldn't be 3 betting this hand for value, then I shouldn't even have it in my flop xr, turn b3b line, let alone calling the river raise with it.
