Board: K♠ 7♦ 3♣. Villain (BB) check-raises Hero's c-bet. Why does a 'blocker-driven' bluff selection from Villain often include hands like 6♠ 5♠ rather than A♦ 2♦?

  3. A2s is a 'made hand' and should be played as a call to realize showdown value. (under this line) (under this line) (under this line)
  4. 65s has more 'clean' outs (not blocked by Villain's calling range) and no blockers to Hero's folding range (Ax, Qx).
