Hand Reading made the River Bet Easy

So, say we are villain and have tens in this pot. You fold turn because you put Q on are either overpairs or AK? I guess AQ might be in range, Q will have to tell us. Against this villain perhaps because he seems a bit weak, that an extra small bet pf might be worth investing if we think we can use that as credibility.

The only reason I mention this is that while reading this thread it seemed that the general opinion is that his hand is quite lucid. But who would have played it otherwise?

I definitely don't play my hand like villain does.

Out of position with TT on that flop, I'm probably check-raising the flop. If I'm three-bet it becomes a very easy check-fold on the turn once the K and the spade hit. If I'm not three-bet I'm leading the turn and probably folding to a raise.

I play this hand the same way. It does not really matter what the villian has, what matters is he did not raise on the turn (either because he has a pair smaller than yours or because he is scared of flush). Unless he is really tricky, he will not raise the river, so you can safely bet (since if you check and he bets you will call anyway).
