Why you should bet your hand!

This hand took place at a Rockford Charities Poker Event and was witness by my friend Eddie.

There were 9 players with an average stack of $200  each in a $1-$2 no-limit game
The player under the gun calls $2 and 4 players behind him calls–pot total now is $10
The flop is–4h, 4c, 5c—All players check the flop
Turn card is 9s—All players check
River card is Qc
The board now is—-4h, 4c, 5c, 9s, Qc
All players check the river
The hands are now shown
Player under the gun showa–5d, 5s for a full house Fives Full of Fours!
Next player shows—4s, 4d for Quad Fours!
Other 3 players mucked their hands
The players holding these hands said they both were trying to TRAP—each hoping a late position player would bet since a third club hit on the river.
The player with quad 4’s won $10 – Nice slow play Alex (Asian Brad Twitt)
