So i was playing 1/2 no limit poker at Stampede Casino last friday night. The pot was at atleast $400. (i folded pre-flop) After the river was shown, the guy to my right was 1st to act, he checked and the other 2 remaining players checked aswell......side note, the guy to act 1st had about $100 left in chips.
So they flip over the cards and the guy to my right (1st to act) had a Royal Flush......and checked it!!!!
Is this the wierdest/dumbest poker move you have heard of? Well, ive heard worse, just not at a casino.
What was he afraid of?
Was he trying to bait.....if so why not put a lil bet in then?
BTW the other guys had a normal flush and 2 pair respectivly

It's an ok move if he had lots of money left, and could really pump the pot if someone decided to make a bet.
But he only had another 100 anyway, so he probably should have put something in there.
If he had another 1000 and there was money to capture, a check raise would probably be the way to go.
You have to remember, so much depends on the table and players and reads you're getting. Things change if you know you're facing aggressive players, tight players, if you think you know what they might have and how confident they are on it, etc.
