Checking The Nuts

[runadrum]

Taken from the Pokernews live reporting of the WSOP : Lady Penalized, Patronized An unfortunate lady was taken aside by a floorman who most apologetically explained to her that she was being penalized for checking the nuts. "You see, you had the best hand possible, so if someone bets you have to raise and if someone checks you have to bet, you have to create action. See, if you don't, then it's more like a home game, with everyone just checking and all friendly..." The lady in question looked suitably patronized, and was issued her penalty on top of that. Someone please just confirm that this only applies after the river and not after the flop if you already hold, for example, a royal flush ?

Re: Checking The Nuts got to be just the river hasnt it? Is it not checking when last to act with the nuts, or not raising a bet when last to act?

Re: Checking The Nuts Surely you can check the nuts on the river if you want to set up a table image of a "dumb broad" or if you want to gain information on the other player in the hand. Seen it often enough at FL tables.
