I think it unlikely but certainly possible. I think a TAG on our left (like BB) could do so without a straight. I think a guy who limps 53s in MP could do so when he hits two-pair. I think a LAGgro could do so on a scare card in a big pot. I've seen them do it, even multiway; I know they can. I just don't know how often they do it.

I think Catt is also saying that if you check, you will be able to fold without investing a bet a decent amount of time. Out of the times it doesn't go bet/raise (after you check), it will be bet for you a lot anyway.

Yup. Though I'm admittedly calling infrequently on this river -- I need no overcallers and a bet from one (maybe two) of the specific opponents.
