how is that going to be absolutely +EV?
when villan 3 bet you on the turn, you have to put him on atleast 2 pair and knowing that you are drawing to win this pot.

He hadn't 3bet our turn raise when we made it.

The best, or most +EV, play is not always going to be the correct play based on our opponent's holding. But since we can't know what he has with 100% certainty, we just go with the play that has the largest long-term expectancy. In this case, raising the turn. And it's interesting to note that, even in this case when he'd flopped two pair, we still had 20 outs on the river, making us only a slight underdog (and the raise only slightly -EV in this instance).
