I call this the "AK syndrome". Like in holdem, some players are keen to put opponents into specific hands, rather than range. And then they just decide that opponent has AK, cos he would play AK like that. Which is true, but AK is only one part of their range.

Like in this hand, small rundown is in his range. But sets, overpairs, two pairs and total bluffs are also in his range. If you don't have ANY reads/stats on your opponent, it's hard to put someone into a range.

Flop is quite dry, so he might be donking with a bluff. As it's difficult for hero to hit that board very hard.

Instead of specific hand, you should think your hand versus certain range. How well does your hand play if opponent has 7654, 865x, KKxx, 77xx, AAxx in his range etc. And then make your decision based on that. Sometimes they have the top of their range, sometimes they have the bottom of their range.

yes, understood, but probability that he has KK, 77 low because I have K, 7
I'm not strong in theory of propability, but propability that he has KK or 77
2/45 + 2/45 = 4/45 ~ 9% - I think that my raise good in 91 cases from 100
