Poker Strategy: Out of position shoves river when backdoor flush arrives

Poker Strategy Info And Source:

In this hand the caller makes a light three bet preflop and then takes the big blind for two streets. However, the backdoor flush comes in and now the big blind shows immense strength. Listen to the caller and Bart examine the possibilities of the villain having a backdoor flush.

  1. Clear fold vs 95%+ of the player pool. Not sure I would call this getting 8-1.

  2. He cold calls 3bet, I put him on pocket pair and AK type of hands, he tanked on the turn didn't raise, so he doesn't have sets, he was thinking could hero have backdoor flush?but here 3bet, so that's a no, in this case my AK is good, with pot odds he'll call if I shove on the river. This is my thought process, but I'm shocked the guy called 3bet with A7s

  3. I thought hero's decision making was awful on the turn and river vs. a standard 1/3 player. Just got lucky the BB is a huge donkey. I don't think he pointed that out at the beginning of the video either. The donkey wasn't the open raiser; it was the BB.

  4. Obviously cold calling the 3b from the BB with A7s is a pretty weak play. Villain compounds the error further on each street, particularly the river. Unsure of what to do, he goes for the Hail Mary play. Not only will his bet never be called by worse, but it’s just an EV disaster for his range. The stack to pot doesn’t allow him to make much of a bet on the river, and therefore he needs to be careful when choosing hands to bluff. He might have just a few combos of hands strong enough to bet: QJhh, KQhh, KJhh, and maybe T9hh. Even if we give him all A4s and some partial combos of JJ/99 (which will be next to nothing most likely), he still probably shouldn’t be turning A7 and the like into a bluff. He should bluff all of the QTs first—not only do they make up his worst hands on the river, but they also have some blockers to some decent bluffcatchers for hero (AQ/AT).

  5. Hero is def. at the bottom of his range. This feels like a merge to me, so I get the impression that villain is at the bottom of his range too. I would call just for pot odds, but I'm probably giving villain too much credit.
