baffling river cr

[CardSharpCook]

At that very 30/60 Bell game I once witnessed a river on a 56789, 3 spade board get checked 3ways to the button. He bets, one guy folds, the second guy chk/rzd, thrid guy folds, button calls, and they take their bets back as they were both playing the board. Please call this.

I am coming in late to the party and have seen the results but you do realize that the initial pfr and river checkraiser had exactly ONE player left to act after his check was the eleventh post flop check. How can he ever deal with the embarassment of turning over Kings full or Quads when the last player to act checks. That kind of humiliation is not well tolerated by most egocentric poker players. How can he not be FOS?

a lot of guys figure oh well if no one will bet than no one was gonna call me anyway. in hpfap or somewhere it says if you flop quads dont expect much action because you have the deck "crippled". if youre saying to overcall this river youre wrong. it's a fold and every once in a blue moon youll give up 1/3 the pot, dont sweat it.
