No, I think he was just calling down.

Bob, river raise is a creative idea but too many TAGs will either have you crushed or will find a [censored] it call far too often for a raise to show a profit.

he's either got AK-ATs, QQ or TT. Does he have TT enough here to make a raise profitable? That is what I am wondering.

Nope. He's got 3 combos of AK, 3 of AQ, 4 of AJ, 3 combos of QQ, and 3 combos of TT. So that's 13:3 but he not only needs to have TT, but he needs to fold it too. You'd be getting 11.25:2 on a raise bluff, so you'll need him to fold 15.09% of the time overall. If he bet-folds TT 100% of the time he folds it, then he's bet-folding 18.75% of the time (3 times in 16). I think in a big pot most TAGs will make a "[censored] it" call at least 50% of the time (or will check-call here occasionally as well), but even if we say he's bet-folding 66% of the time that he holds TT, he's folding 2 times in 16, or 12.5% of the time, so it's not going to show a profit.

Doesn't look quite right to me, especially when you consider he'll have ATs-A8s sometimes here as well.

Will he bet KJ on the river? If so, raising is my favorite.

If villian is solid and he pauses before betting the river, he never has 1010.
