my new bad habit: getting passive in position

[SparkyDog]

Dilapidated Domicile,

What kind of river cards are you checking behind here, or are you at all? I wouldn't this one because 5s and 10s are unlikely cards to reside in the villian's hand, and if he checked it he likely doesn't have the straight as he'd be afraid you'd check it through.

How does the 3 straight make it much closer though? Aside from making two pair more likely, it doesn't seem that villian will have made a straight from the 8 all that often (JT probably being the most frequently held).
