Default Re: Bet out, or give a free card?

Without reading the results, I'd say you have a bet. You raised with a Ten in the door, making your most likely hand a pair of Tens (unless you're the sort of player who doesn't raise with Tens, which apparently you're not). In order for your opponent to have a completed straight, he would have had to have called a full bet in a short-handed pot on third street with (QJ)9 with at least one, and probably two, dead Tens. Since you say he's a decent player, this seems unlikely. Let's see, he could have 76 in the hole for a straight, but he'd have to have called a double-bet with a gutshot against a paired door card on fourth street. It's possible that he had a straight-flush draw and made the straight, but that's only one possibility out of many possible flush draws.
