Re: Paradise $1/2 stud high--middling straight
If we give him precisely QT in the hole, then I can't profitably bet the river, because he's got too many outs. There are 34 unknown cards (if we give him QT in the hole), 15 of which beat us, a little less than half. I'm laying 2:1 by betting, because he will check-raise us when I'm beaten.
That said, most of his possible hands aren't going to give him that many outs. If he has just the Queen, or just the straight draw, or just two pair, we have a profitable bet, so overall, I think that betting the river is clear.
