Default Re: cardrunner HU hand by GP - wtf?

We'd been exceptionally weak in the session leading up to this hand (at the time I couldn't recall when the last showdown we had was). Taiwan had shown that he was pretty much always going to do exactly what we didn't want him to do. When we lead this river so weakly, he isn't expecting us to call a shove. GP is used to being treated as GP, but Taiwan was playing some random joker who was playing very straight forward. What I mean here is that Taiwan is expecting this weak river lead to represent a weak hand, he isn't expecting anything tricky.

I hated the river bet sizing. If he was planning on folding to the shove he should have bet more. The main reason I could see to betting so little was to have villain bluff shove. The only reason why this wasn't a snap call is that I couldn't come up with a hand that would decide to bluff on this river. However, by playing his hand so face up Taylor could have induced a 7 or PP to bluff shove.
