Last hand you cant do anything about.

But the first hand why check the river? afraid of a straight?

[r8ed]

I'm a pansy. And since I had been the one raising I didn't want to get check-raised into trip 10s or a straight.

[Mony B]

why do you play poker? Checking the straight would not be one of my options here, betting seems to be the only logical thing to do, i highly dought that the J on the river would have helped him.
