The concept has merit in general on boards where they're not repping anything/repping thin. Like rainbow unpaired boards, eg. 359T, where they can only show up with a few sets and nearly no two pair combos. But on boards where there is 4 to a straight and you, the bettor, have straights in your range, it's best to let it go. It looks so strong for someone to check raise a 4 straight board when they're raising into someone who could easily have it.
And because you're on the money bubble at a final table, there are ICM implications. You don't want to call on the turn and then potentially feel commited to a river bet with a hand that only beats a bluff in a spot where it's hard for them to be bluffing. It's best to play tight and fold rather than bluff catch in a marginal situation when your stack matters more.
