I'm very surprised that the Hero did not check back on the river – that would've saved him some money. Obviously you fold to the massive overbet, the opponent has the nuts way too often in that spot.
checking back river versus this villain is lighting money on fire
It kind of sounds like the villain is a bad player who flopped the straight and didn’t realize what came and just decided to go with it not realizing the hero could easily have the higher straight?
Who the love plays their friends heads up 5/10 lol jesus
This villain among many I see confuse thin value bets from opponents with weakness. This new knowledge can allow hero to exploit him.
I call that "getting outdumbed" lol
I've run into similar situations like this. Vs that are so bad that they think they're stronger than what they really are. I've had people turn over misread hands, Aces with weak kickers etc. It's a weird bizzaro kind of situation where I've made "correct" folds because they don't have a clue.
Without hearing how this ends I would just fold based on the description of this guy but also knowing there's a decent chance that I could a chop the 400 in the middle. Sounds like he could easily be over playing the same hand as you but the times he actually has the nuts is going to make it bad call overall
