Re: BvB Deep 2 pair vs dr.giggy
I don't see why this has to be a monster. If he has a hand like QQ/JJ/AT/QT or even AA he may play similarly since if he 3-bet the flop he's only getting the money in when he's drawing close to dead on this flop with these stacks. Now the K is a bad card, but he still thinks he's ahead of our range and wants to get value when ahead, but also doesn't want to be forced to call a near potsize bet when behind so he leads out, planning to fold to a raise with some of that range.
Not saying he wouldn't play a monster like this - just that I think it can easily be alot more than a monster. Of course a read on villain AND hero would be really helpful.
Most important thing here though is that a shove is just about never getting called by worse, and he probably does have some sort of real hand.
