5/10 Hand (Boring Title; Interesting Hand)

[Usagi_yo]

I think the villian played his hand terribly. He played his hand like it was really weak, or like a strong hand being played wrong. Thus there was absolutely no reason for you to bet on the end unless you wanted to bluff a busted draw.

He on the other hand had a much better opportunity to bet and get called on the end then a check raise. Or he could have simply checkraised a substantial amount on the turn.

He may have been seeing boogey men under the bed and was afraid of the straight or the flush getting there.

I think checking on the end to induce a bluff from a busted draw looks pretty when it works, but I rarely see it pulled off.
