Also, when hero overbets, maybe villain thinks this skews his range in favour of 88 rather than Ax, after all why would Ax make a bet that forces 8x to fold?

I might conclude that it's not worth risking a further 75bb to reclaim 25bb. I doubt it for ten bucks though. Yes I know we should think in BI's, not dollars, but people do crazy shit when the stakes are low because the IRL financial burden is lower.

My point is, I would not think Ax is an easy call facing a river shove here. At these stakes I probably call, but Ax isn't the nuts and shouldn't be treated as such.
