On the river board K♥ 7♦ 2♣ 3♠ 5♦, Villain bets 30 bb. You hold K♣ 6♣. Why is this hand considered a 'Bluff-Catcher' despite having Top Pair?
- Hero's kicker (6) is too weak to ever win at showdown.
- On a dry river, Villain's betting range is polarized to 'Nuts or Air', so Hero's hand either beats bluffs or loses to all value.
- MDF defines Top Pair as the boundary between a call and a fold.
- The Fundamental Theorem states that you should never call with Top Pair on the river. (under this line) (under this line) (under this line)
