this was kind of an interesting analysis by the hero, and it makes sense, its easy to just agree with. but considering theres no mention of villains usual sizing it ends up being kind of irrelevant analysis imo. plus it is the villains strategy, if the sizing is variant and we dont have a real read on it then hes probably manipulating us. with the lack of information i would rather default to something more gto and say "his size is larger, his range must be stronger or else it is in itself a leak".

more specifically to the point of the reply: i think saying "he removes the top of his range by sizing up" might be exactly how he is hoping to manipulate us with a variable bet size strategy vs an opponent who is willing to make large assumptions.... or maybe not :)- , point is its unknown so im going as close as i can to gto and hoping he makes the mistakes on this one.

calling sets and two pairs with an eight blocker ? we are talking about the T4567 ? either im missing something or youre trolling.

Is Ben assuming a very large % of viktors heart hands are higher hearts so Th or higher is a significant removal of his range that include hearts on river ? I haven't watched viktors play much but with what I hear about his flop tendencies, wouldnt you have to assume that putting Ah-Th in his range on turn is largely contradictory to assuming he's cbetting light on flop, since most of these cards would lead to viable cbetting combinations? Is it possible he's likely to use a bare Ah to settup maybe a double barrel with a low 2pr gutter that turns into a bluff on a heart river ? Its not a huge portion but low hearts plus low clubs almost seems entirely possible (maybe even something like Ah2c4cX), obviously along with a lot of other low heart combinations. but I'm really unfamiliar with when the higher stakes players are using this kind of turn play so I'm looking forward to further analysis here.
