I definitely check.

I would check. Even a calling station should be able to get away from alot of 1 pair hands on that board.

I wouldn't. Unless he's ultra loose there aren't many coldcalling hands that are just 1 pair on this board. Then again I'd expect most to put in some action with flopped or turned 2 pair, but maybe he was waiting to make sure no heart fell or something.

I feel he has QT/QJ/AT and Ax[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] PP[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and less often slowplayed 2 pair too often to bet black nines hoping to fold out a non heart one pair, and I don't think he has AT or a slowplayed 2 pair or 1 pair non heart hand that makes a loose call often enough to value bet the straight.

Jesus! Ive never seen a more obvious check in my life. Is your mind playing tricks on your Jba?

Edit: Somehow I missed that you had a straight so ignore my retarded response. If you can safely bet/fold the river go ahead and value bet. NH.
