If you haven't ever really thought about Villains in this way, then tell me what your own range of hands might be to play in a similar fashion. I.e. a weak open from UTG, followed by a button-mashing C-bet, and a turn C-bet, then a x/r OTR.
Would you ever use such a betting line? What does it represent?
Well what I normally look is at their vip status if they show it, if they are bronzestar, there's now way they are regs of NL5 zoom, if they have higher vip status, it tells me nothing. I also see on how many tables he is playing, if villian is multitabling, I tend to think that he's got an idea of what he's doing while playing.
In this case, villian did't show vip status, but he was multitabling.
As regards his betting line, I would have played like that with 77, QQ and KK, making a check on river to induce a bluff, it might not be the best play for value to c/r river, but with such a strong hand I know deep in my inside I would have done it. What it confused me was his open raise size, 2,5x on utg, preflop I thought his range was going to be wider than 99+ AJ+, so he might have KQ, suited hands and AK. His OR size is what confused me a bit, but once he pushed on the river I said to myself: I feel I have to call, but I'm not really happy about it. It smelled like a cooler, but as I had no info on him, he might do that with missed draws or with 2 pairs, or with TPTK if he is way too aggresive.
