It was pretty funny. Afterwards I was like “well, I GUESS it was a good bet since he thought he had called with a worse hand???”
I don’t know. To me, when the River only completed the gutshot straight, I think that River gives him a lot of two-pair hands that will probably call. JT/9T/8T are all there (well, not too many 9Ts cuz I have two 9s, but still).
I thought for me to be losing he’d have to have called the Turn with a gutshot AND checked a straight on the River a board where a straight is super obvious. I thought it was worth a gamble. I’m lucky he only had $70 left—although, maybe not, as I almost certainly would have checked if he covered me.
