He has 540 left.
Reasons for checking: free card vs overpair is so juicy, and I don't want to just throw in more money when I have no pair and seemingly little FE.
Reasons for betting: if he has me beat, getting it in with 6-10 outs is not that awful with the pot size. I could also easily have the best hand (this is a 5/45, remember), and if so, getting called or not is fine, but checking through is kinda gross.
Also, should I have played differently earlier in the hand to avoid this? Is the CB on the flop good in general?
