whatever you do dont announce it to the table your folding that hand otherwise your gonna get owned badly in the future. brucio has taken a bit of a wierd line by checking the river, so i call his river raise as most players arnt capable of checking the river with the nuts.
Why is it weird? What can possibly call him if he's got the nuts?
Unless he puts Alex on the nut flush or worse full house which he's got no reason to he's getting nothing from his bet.
Betting £50 probably gets a fold, betting £25 looks so suspicious it's only ever getting a call never a raise.
The check gives the oppo a chance to steal or value bet exactly the kind of hands that could possibly call any bet he makes.
He can then raise in to a much bigger pot meaning he's more likely to get a call and even if he doesn't he's got more out of it than if he'd bet.
Good play by oppo I think whether he had it or not.
most 1/2 players will just look at their cards and go ooo i have a full house i bet.... not i wonder what they have have how can i get the most money.
