Could you expand on this regarding the non-threatening flop?

Sure.

Straights are impossible. Flush is impossible. Two pairs are significantly less likely than on other boards, and we have a strong kicker. PF makes it fairly unlikely that we're up against an overpair or even AQ. All the while, there are a ton of draws possible, as well as QJ/QT/mid pairs/whatever garbage he might have

Given all these factors, I think we have the best hand a whole hell of a lot, even when raised.

River is a judgement call, and I might be able to be convinced it's a call... but ugh. I usually give unknowns respect when they shove a huge overbet like that into the pot, especially on the river.

As for those that want to bet the river, why?
