I've got nothing
There's a HU match Monday night. Boat VS Brain.9pm. Boat is in this HU situation because a former Team Fish member sucks Donkey ass. Quite literally, methinks. So I gave him a piece of my mind. God knows he could use it. So dumb. His stupid move cost him more than this game, that's for sure.
I exited Survive Donkey Island Event #11 early tonight, but c'e la vie. I got in with the best hand and with a turbo and 1500 starting chips, that all you can ask. I had J-9 hearts and the flop was 3-3-10 with 2 hearts. Two Black Aces bet out and I called. Turn was an A of hearts! Boom. I jammed all in. He thinks for a bit and calls with A-rag....I think a 6. Anyway a 3 lands on the river and he gets a boat. gg Josie. I hate a riverboat, but there was really no getting away from that. I wanted the call. I put him on the ace and wasn't really thinking boat.
Boat......
I KNOW Boat will win this HU match btw. The dude is a solid player. Like a rock. And I'll be there to cheer him on, in a too tight tshirt and shaking my pom poms.
Boat will PLAY SMART.

These days I almost never consider having skill when it gets to why someone called me. Just yesterday I was chat attacked by a fellow who thought I should have folded to him. I mean really attacked too. He was very certain I was a super donk of very suspect parentage and kept it up until I took him out.
Why have I been called with bottom pair when I was doing such a good job of representing? Might have been my image.
A number of years ago, I was able to be more certain. I don't think it is dementia but things have kept getting less clear on things like how and why someone can play or call with a hand.
In the instance you describe you were both playing speculative hands in a fast environment. You both got there are some point. All I can really determine is that his "got there" was later.
I am sorry but I just aren't capable of being clearer on the hand presented. I can't fully define either of your thought process for being in the hand. Implied odds is a very murky world filled with pitfalls on both paths.
