How do you not bet out on that flop? It looks like this entire hand was played scared of a set.

I disagree. I think Curtain's isn't afraid of seeing a turn card here in an attempt to extract more value on the turn than on the flop. Overs or mid-pocket pairs such as 99/TT are far more likely than a set.

A read on the player to better define his range might clear up why he played it this way. Regardless of the read, I think checking the flop is a good play.

I can almost guarantee that if curtains thought villian had 88-TT he'd bet this flop every time in hopes that he'd get checkraised. If he put them on a midpair, the last thing he'd want is for a K or Q to peel on the turn and scare his action away.

No action on this hand! For what its worth I like checking behind on the turn here, unorthodox as it may seem..Im no longer playing the hand for its value because if all the chips get in the pot at any point, Im usually in big trouble. Meanwhile I don't mind calling a few bets in a small pot.
