Having checked the turn, I'd definitely bet ~200 on the river. There's no way anyone has checked the turn and river with a ten or a full house, and I doubt anyone checks a straight on the river. You're also ahead of any junk two pair. I can't imagine you're losing, so fire that river.

I think you could bet the turn, but being check-raised would definitely suck. I'm not a big fan of giving a free card though, since a third of the deck (any jack or higher) could complicate the river. So I'd probably bet ~200 on the turn and check a lot of river cards, but not this one.

once i get called in 3 spots, the hand is mostly uncomplicated - i give up. when the unthinkable happens and everybody checks, i make a little vbet on the river. you're going to get called by 55 a lot more than you get c/r'ed by Tx (or by air, which would be a disaster of course).
