Set Tens, Large pot, Out of SB

It's possible someone just made Aces up so I don't like bet/folding. I think bet/call is better though so we get called by pair hands that won't bet.

My thought on the river was

"If I bet and he raises, I'm going to vomit in my mouth"
So I c/ced

I Didn't protect my hand on the flop well did I? C/R woulda been the way to go? 2 things kept me from C/Ring

1) I was the PF raiser
2) The flop was all in the playing zone and for some reason that rattled me. I thought someone else would raise early.

I don't like going for the checkraise here. The board is very coordinated and you don't want it to check through.

Your river line was fine, although I might bet it, too.

I don't see why you're trying to protect your hand on this flop. The pot is getting big, but your equity is huge, and you have redraws against anyone that catches up.

Checking here would (a) suck, and (b) be very suspicious

So basically, There is no way to protect my hand (i.e. fold someone with an 8,or A. I know the opened ended crowd (9 or K) would stay, Although a 9 really only has 4 outs) So Just build a pot and hope to win UI or redraw if the straight comes out. I can see that.
