Big hands need to set up small hands.
Villain hit the lottery no doubt and as teh cards lay she did the best sheT8o could given Hero's T8o, but Villain should be setting up the next play. Would she check a nothing bugger on the flop? Sure, why not?
As played would she naturally check to the raiser on the turn? Absolutely, I would.
But I would beat the river, because I would also bet the river in this sequence with a bluff or a middle pair. Checking looks like Villain is conceding or setting a trap.. If she is conceding it is unlikely she will call with anything that Hero can beat. beating put hero to the binary test. Did Villain check twice to set up a trap in a penny game, or does she suspect hero is weak because of Hero's turn check. In the example hero folds easily, but what if hero held a pair of eights? Would she fold or call. Hero would call an ace if raised, and bet it if checked to. What about a 7?
In a penny game its best to look like you may br bluffing.
