Would've been better if he turned over a royal flush.

Umm put yourself in SB shoes here and all the checking. Wouldn't you call this one down yourself thinking it's a steal attempt?

uh if you're in villain's shoes.. hero has to have worse than TEN high 50% of the time here.

Not happening.

Uh huh. With Hero being the big blind I think so.

Big blind doesn't = bad hand.

he's RANDOM..

Average hand beats TEN high.

HAHA

This is one of those cases. Checking all the way to the river and put out a pot size bet... Seems strange to me. I'd call it, not hoping to win maybe but to atleast see what he is doing. For this bluff to be succesfull he should bet earlier in the hand.
