If you are check/calling then what's different with bet and being called.

[/ QUOTE ]There's a huge difference.

To begin with, if your opponent actually has a very strong draw the ten isn't an equity favorite. Depending on his hand you've got something like 45% prior to betting. So the hand has a ton of showdown value, but it hasn't got value on the actual betting.

The only better hands you can get rid of is possibly tens and nines, and that's not hands he has very often, nor are guaranteed to lay down. If he thinks you're betting 100% of your hands on 5th and 6th hands like nines and tens has decent equity.

So it is a crappy bluffing hand, since most of the laydowns it generates it would've won anyway and hasn't got value if your opponent was drawing to a seven or better.

Further, a good player with a very strong draw is going to be raising quite a lot when your best hand is a six and your probable hand is a seven and there's a good possibility you're actually paired. I'm thinking he'll raise any smooth seven or better coupled with a some of the bricks.

And you're also going to valuebet a lot of other hands in your range. Remember, T7 is in your bottom 15% due to there being so many 76:s from when you didn't actually pair going to the river.

You lose the same amount either way. The only difference comes if he'd fold when you bet with him having an 8, 9 or 10.

[/ QUOTE ]You also lose out on any bluffs he would have made had you checked.

I think there may be some value betting against the guy described in the top post. But that's because he sounds he's very loose and plays the river too passively.
