Nah looks good. If he had something like AQ, you were screwed anyway. I don't know what hand he'd be in with if he had a 7. Looks like he mightve had a flush draw or a weak A and just wanted to get to a cheap showdown. If he had a Q high flush draw and hit straight, that's just poker but the bet here isn't bad by you and usually the right play. Remember, the 10 only puts you ahead of a weaker 2 pair or a AK/AQ, which he hasn't been playing like he has. Now if the 10 comes and he decides to bet out, just call, and if he check-raises you might be screwed but I think you played this just fine. Good if you have a read on SB

Good bet. You'll probably get paid off by a bunch of worse two pair hands. Most players would've bet out if they hit the straight, since it's so obvious and a lot of players in your spot will check behind.
