Re: FT Hand vs Shortie: What is your play?
[ QUOTE ]
And he's gonna check KQ twice, even when a flush draw shows up on the turn, when there is a huge call station?
There is very little chance he has any straight here. While you will occasionally run into shortstackers that make retarded slowplays, you can pretty much rule out KQ and Q8 given the double check so the only real concern is that he is currently chopping with some kind of redraw. It's much more likely that he has a set/two pair/air.

Don't the odds of a "retarded slowplay" go through the roof when the shortstacker is OOP? He may well be itching for a bet so that he can raise it all-in. Especially if he has a Q8 with a diamond redraw.
I find it difficult to imagine he tries this with air (unless air includes nut flush draw + gut-shot) or just 2 pair on that board.
But maybe that just says something about me, namely that I don't make this play (SB's turn check-raise) without a solid hand because it's so obvious that I should have bet a KQ by now.
