10/20 PLO with an optional $40 straddle. Can open 5x's blind so in this hand $200 would be max open. This game has a hard stop and we are just about to start the last round(so 10 hands to go after this one and everyone knows it). Was buried but have gotten unstuck and have approximately $11K(up $1K). A few of the others are stuck and willing to gamble.

9 handed and I am the button with Q10108

Middle position opens to $100, stuck LAG calls and I call on the button. 3 blinds all call as well so pot is $600.

Flop is J93. Checks all around. Should I be betting here? Didn't have a flush draw and was really not looking to play a large pot after getting unstuck. Turn is the Q

Checks to me and I bet $400. Have 2 10's in my hand and 2nd nut straight so think a bet is in order. Thoughts?

Tight player in BB is only caller(Approx $3K stack). He has been known to slow play and typically is more a caller than better.

River is a blank - 5 and he checks. I bet $400 again looking to get called by a set or possibly 2 pair. Should I be checking back here? Thoughts on all streets welcome and I will post results later.

I'm checking as well; hate to get blown off our equity and hate to call a raise. Can also be dominated in several ways, and we're drawing dead on many turns.

Seems fine. I’m betting pot ott with whole range since it’s so draw heavy though. I like small bet in river... your range is strong his not so best way to exploit it.

Agree with above posters, size up turn & river. Exploitatively I'd pot the turn for max value and protection and use a larger non-pot sizing OTR.

Agree with SolarAU, but WP overall.

Villain called the river bet

Spoiler:
I then said straight and rolled my hand over. He then said straight - K10 and turned his hand over. He also had a 10 high flush draw. Another player said "you didn't raise?" and he said "I thought we had the same hand, but I had a flush draw too". He did read me right in that I 100% thought I had the best hand. Poker is not dead I guess.

Hand was played ok overall, i think a tight checkback against the type of player described is ok but betting is standard.
