ok last night i was working as usuall as TD at a local venue. Anyways, a player checked Quad 4's on the river on a  4,10,8,6,4 board (four spades), his opponent had bet on every steet (OOP) and checked behind.

I said that it was against the rules, and fired a 4BB punnishment, my usuall punnishment as most players are beginners and i dislike giving them sitouts for that reason unless its a consistantly repeated offence.

A number of players this was too strong a responce.

Opinions please.

    I think in most tourneys there is a rule you have to bet the nuts - seems reasonable to me

    When you say his opponent checked behind do you mean the guy with quads was oop? If so then he did nothing wrong.

    You only have to bet if you're last to act, it's perfectly OK to check the nuts on river when OOP to try and induce another player to bet.

    Please dont tell me you fined him for checking the nuts oop, omg I`m not surprised ppl thought it harsh.  If its like a pub game where most of the players are inexperienced, I think its harsh making them pay a penalty even if in position.  Let them know after theyve done it so they know for next time.  Also, so long as collusion wasnt playing a part, the fact they had the nuts and didnt bet it should be punishment enough.

    Also, depending how deep the tourney is, and the stack/blind ratio, a 4bb penalty, can be far worse than sitting out for a round.

    Also he can't have had the nuts so your ruling is wrong anyway.

    "his opponent had bet on every steet (OOP)"

    That suggests to me that the player with quads was in position.

    BTW where does the 4bb penalty go?

    His opponent was first to act showed A 10 with the A of spades. was actually shocked to see this opponent check, the second player checked behind he had quad 4's. 

    The 4BB penalty went into the next pot, which also encourages raising on the next hand anyways because it starts alot bigger. 

    i actually missed the straight flush opportunity. Im an idiot.

    There was a far far better one in a 50/1 cash game i was playing on here the week before last.

    I kid you not

    Raise and a call pre flop

    flop is 777

    bet call

    trn 7

    So to be clear the board is 7777

    first player goes all in for £64 and gets called by a guy with £46

    First player has AT the caller has............. 44

    Jjust to sum the whole hand up the river comes an A for a split pot

    The caller needs a lengthy ban if for no other reason than to learn the rules.
