if he calls flop with a mid pair, he calls turn and river imo. If the board was wetter, like T965 id check back and call or vbet river, think board is too dry to check our hand here.
Not sure I agree, though it depends on the two people involved in the hand. I reckon a lot of people would call the flop with a mid pair with a view to seeing what happens on the turn. If it gets checked behind then great, my pair is prob good, i can bet or call a bet on the river. If he bets again then sigh he probably has the T, i'll give it up because this is getting expensive and i have no idea if my hand is good.
