Re: Pocket TT - What to do on River
I honestly think a straight is pretty unlikely. Like @bsolute said, there just aren't that many hands that play the flop and turn that way that now have the straight. Would AK have limped preflop? Would Q8 have raised the turn? The only hand I'm really worried about here is KQ.
Edit: Also, we should note that the math isn't quite as bad as "I win 1 bet if I'm ahead but lose 2 if I'm behind." Sometimes you will win if you get raised (which is why I advocate calling), and sometimes an 8 will fail to raise, fearing a K. I'm not saying that's good play by villain, just that it really does happen sometimes.
