Just checking my thought process on this hand.
Second hour of a $5 rebuy. Table has been pretty loose-passive preflop, less so after the flop but still somewhat fishy. Villain seems fairly solid. I've been pretty cold-decked up to this point at this table.

Final Pot: t6700
Flop - I bet to chase out draws and bring along any tens that might want to call.
Turn - Pretty harmless card, which led me to suspect a nine, probably with a better kicker since he seemed solid. He also could have been betting a ten hoping I was bluffing, but I thought this was less likely. But, it's likely enough that I can't fold yet.
River - I was doubtful he would call with a ten, unless he had JT. He would certainly call with a nine, and may be afraid I made a boat and would be content to take down the pot as it stands now. So, given that and my suspicions on his turn bet, I checked behind.
Thoughts? Anyone bet this river?
