I think it's 100% a fold. Bluff catching on this river would be checking back AKs and JJ-TT to catch the busted draws. When he bets AA-KK it's with the intention of getting thin value and folding to raise...except if he holds exactly AhAc or KhKc. I think these two hands are calls strictly for the reason of protecting his betting range of AA-KK so he isn't exploited when he does bet them.

On QQ9 flop is it really reasonable to say Jungleman has the range advantage? Sure he has more hands like QJ, KQ, AQ, 99 but he also has all the underpairs whereas Antonio has all the overpairs.

When Antonio bets the river, what is he hoping to get called by? A pair of 9s, or a pocket pair? Surely a 2 or a 3 is folding, right? Should Antonio even be betting pocket Aces or pocket Kings here?
