Default Re: 10-8s thoughts please

Nice hand. I play it the same.

I like a flop bet better than a check-raise because I don't know where I can expect a bet from and the pot is only 4 handed. We can't defend against the big draws anyway.

Leading the turn is very nice as a signficant portion of the time you'll find the flop cap coming from some big draw. (Some players will also take the free card play to its extreme and cap hoping for the free card).

River check-call is good. You're probably beat but I think the pot is probably big enough to merit a fold. You'll see a lone J or diamonds (or possibly both) often enough here.
