However, if Doyle's river raise can take care of both triple barrel bluffs and some % of villain's value range (it's unclear which 6x combos Raptor is folding) it's a great play no matter the holding. some players (how many people would triple barrel KQ for value against Doyle Brunson?). Even calling the river bet might not be good vs. If we look at this spot EV wise, value raising KJ might be good, but if it is, it's also very very thin given the paired board texture (it's hard to find many combos that can pay off KJ). Here's the thing, even though Doyle might have misjudged this particular situation it doesn't really matter.
When you see Doyle standing up to count your chips after you fired your third barrel, trips suddenly stop looking as attractive as they looked up so far. David Benefield, Doyle manages to find a very profitable spot simply because other players are willing to respect his call/call/raise line so much given his image.
There's obviously much more to this hand than that, but people are quick to forget that tight ranges and value betting were the building blocks of many poker careers and both of those elements are still relevant now.
