At the river I was very confident that villain had a 10. I'd never seen him in this situation before so didn't have a specific read but I felt a third show of strength that looks like it's pricing a ten in would induce a fold.

He had Q10, called and won the hand

I've tried to put myself in his shoes whilst looking back over the hand and I'm totally in two minds. Using 2nd level thinking Q10 should only ever expect his opponent to have AA,Kx, fh or a bluff. QQ-JJ, A10, etc would all check/sd or check/call to snap off bluffs. I can see how I'd fold Q10 there but also how I'd call it.

I feel my play up to the river was fine. I don't think my river bet was as much of a spew as some of you do as I do think I can get a 10 to pack there a reasonable amount of the time. I can't say how often yet though so I'll put this down to experience and monitor it.
