If your idea was to ck-r all-in I'm not sure why Btn bet should alter the plan - even if he has a str8 I doubt your folding with 10 outs to a FH or Quads.

However with all those str8 cards on the board I agree with Davidab157 - lead out! He may be on a pair with a str8 draw still but if he re-raises you can pretty much confirm he made his str8 or 2 pair and is also on a FH draw.

It occurs to me that check-calling may help keep the pot lower and that leading out may have the opposite effect (if he re-rasies all-in for example) and with a str8 looking very possible, it may just be your best strategy for this hand. If you hit your FH your most likely going to win a big pot or lose to a bigger FH - if you miss, you go for a ck-down or ck-fold/ck-call depending on Btn's river bet. Given that you checked, I think just a call on the turn may be your best strategy.
