OUR HERO checks. No sense betting and letting a better hand check-raise; my hand is strong enough to show down here, I don't need to try to maximize when I might be crushed...
** Summary **Main Pot: 2225
Board: [ Tc Td Qd Ks 6c ]

OUR HERO balance 1205, lost 655 [ 9d Jd ] [ a straight, nine to king -- Ks,Qd,Jd,Tc,9d ]
jozxyqkq balance 2970, bet 655, collected 2225, net +1570 [ 6h Th ] [ a full house, Tens full of sixes -- Th,Tc,Td,6h,6c ]. HUH! He did have the full house, but caught on the river... I probably would have called a small-to-medium sized bet, but thanks for the free showdown.

cantab balance 1114, lost 655 [ Qh Js ] [ two pairs, queens and tens -- Ks,Qh,Qd,Tc,Td ]. what were you thinking?! Paired board and three-way action, possible straights and full houses out there -- bad play, bad play.
