Re: Hand from Schneid\'s Blog
[ QUOTE ]
Then when he checks the river Hoss knows he has the nuts IMO so I don't see why he wouldn't bet it. That's the only part of Schneids' post that doesn't make sense to me, it seems like an easy bet for Hoss but Schneids was surprised he made it.

With the preflop and flop actions, what hand is he legitimately expecting to get paid off by? That's why I don't think it's an easy bet. I don't have KQo. He has to be betting it expecting I have exactly KsQs, since he can't/shouldn't put me on 77 or 66 (and even then, would he really be expecting a call?). Whether or not Hoss would remember it or not who knows, but I have called 3 from the SB before (instead of 4-betting) with any/all of TT-AA. Plus, it is clear to anybody Hoss doesn't have an ace, where as a river checkraise with or without an ace should seem possible from my end, so, why open yourself up to a river checkraise (since it's clear HE doesn't have an ace), when there's basically 1 hand that can pay you off?
