Here is why you do NOT check it down

Not to defend the guy, he should have at least faked at the pot, but a pair of tens here is 2nd pair not top pair.

Yeah, he should have made you pay to see the turn.

Why aren't you betting that river?

I still say when theres 3 players in the pot and 1 is allin you should check it down,, Unless you got the Nuts,,>>>>>>>>>>>>>buck
Theres a thread i wrote about this very thing in the Golden Archives

lol cant believe you checked the river you had the nuts but checked it down? passing by the opportunity to get even more chips..cuz lets face it after the river you wern't getting beat and he would probably just think you were trying to get him outa the pot so you had a better chance with your hand heads up plus by now he had only like 800 and 2nd pair you could havee got soemthing outa him.

You don't bet the turn because you've only got Ace high, and dont want to push the other guy off the pot and let the small stack win. The non river bet is ridiculous, especially bearing in mind the thread topic

i think unless you hit/or bad possible straight or flush draw....you check it down

I hit the wrong button on the river, guess that is why I like live so much better. There are no buttons for me to @#@#$ up and miss a chance to bet.
