River: ($1.19) Q (2 players)

Feel like this hand is a good example. V is 32/18 over 34 hands. On the river I feel like V's range isn't always a Q. What hands in my range can I consider a bluff catcher, and what odds to I need to be getting in order to make this call +EV?

TT is one of the best hands you can have here, so it makes sense as a bluff catcher.

not even really sure you're necessarily bluff-catching here. You mostly are, but I can def see the better villains trying to get thin value with 99 & maybe even 88 here. Anyway, it's a snap call even if you don't beat any of his value, which I suspect you do, since your hand is so wildly under-repped.

I'd 3-bet this pre a decent % of the time also.

The flat call is good seven handed vs this position
