River: Q ♠ T ♣ 4 ♠ 2 ♥ 8 ♦. Villain bets 25 bb. Hero's data shows Villain's river betting range contains 30 value combinations and 5 pure bluffs. How should Hero proceed with a bluff-catcher according to exploitative logic?
- Raise, because a bluff success rate of α = 33.3% is likely to be met.
- Call, because the pot odds (q) are 20% and Villain is bluffing enough to make it a break-even spot.
- Call, because the MDF of 66.7% requires Hero to defend the top portion of their range.
- Fold, because the actual win probability is 14.3%, which is less than the 25% required equity.
