Hidden, Gut-shot Straight (cash)

DEFINITION

Gut-shots are painful, except of course, when you deal them. Here's an example of a hidden straight. My opponent may have thought I was on a flush draw, but when he was re-raised, he should have thought a little more. On the other hand, he had two pair and may have thought I was betting aggressively with a good kicker. The question in my mind is whether he would have called a pot bet if I had made one on the river.
