33 vs unknown bvb at 25nl

I feel like your reasoning for calling each street (including pre) centered around his sizing, and yet his sizing is exactly what left for a perfect shove on the river that enticed a weak pair to call.

His sizing is exactly the reason I didn't fold, this is not my standard play in this spot. I really tanked my time on the turn, I realised he's setting up nicely for the river shove, and I know I have to call it if I'm calling this turn bet. But I really felt the flop bet was weak, I'm expecting his value hands to try and get most of the money in by the turn.

fwiw my hand was good. I guess I just want to know if I'm lucky or if I'm right to consider these bets as weak.

C'mon, Ong.
Seriously think about what you'd tell someone else who posted this hand.

Look, I'm not stubbornly in one camp or another on this one. I've called down AQ unimproved for stacks 150bb deep on a board like this myself.

It just seems like we're giving an unknown half-stacker the perfect amount of credit to be able to justify this--neither too much moe too little. He's good enough to know this board should scare him based on our range, but not good enough to know how to entice calls in a way that still gets stacks in and not good enough to know the runout was a terrible board to bluff.

It just seems like a sick soul read of someone playing their first habd in a spot where we're like 70/30 on the flop against the bottom of their range OOP. But maybe I've come to be too nitty in my relatively old poker age.
