Flop Analysis
On this paired board, we hold a strong marginal hand that benefits from both betting and checking. A small c-bet is slightly preferred to extract value from spade draws and lower pairs.
While our Tens are strong, checking back the turn keeps the pot manageable and protects our range against a capped but dangerous opponent.

Checking back is the standard GTO play here. After checking the flop, our hand functions best as a high-equity bluff-catcher that doesn't want to face a check-raise.
Note: Betting here is slightly thin; checking back realizes equity more safely and keeps Villain's bluffs in for the river.
