Its very tough to bet out when every card that flopped hits your hand and you make a boat. In fact Id go as far as to say it's incorrect 99.9% of the time (the only time being if your opponent expects you to bet regardless and senses a trap by your check...and if you have that kind of respect at the table then you probably dont need my advice). The reason being is that chances are no one was helped, so if you fire right away you are most likely gunna pick up a small pot unless someone tries to steal raise you, where as if you check you are giving someone a chance to catch a card they will bet/call with, or giving them a chance to bet at the flop trying to pick it up. Especially with a flop like K,10,K and you hold K,10, there is no 1 card that can come on the turn that can beat you (unless an ace hit thes turn and someone is holding aces in the hole, which by the action shown is next to impossible), so its very difficult not to check and give an opponent a chance to try and steal on the flop, or catch a card on the turn. Furthermore in this case the made boat had someone betting into him from the beginning.
Very tough beat
