Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 2037552, member: 23910"] So... if I'm reading this correctly you [B]both[/B] had the nuts and split the pot? Even in that case no, it doesn't make any difference. You're in the clear as you were first to act (and I'm assuming you were checking in the hope your opponent would bet). But if he were to check behind you then yes, he should be subject to a penalty because he couldn't know that you had the same hand. Only time I'm not 100% sure what happens is in a situation where the nuts is the five cards on the board (a royal, AAAAK, quads with an ace, AKQJT rainbow... I think that's all of the possibilities). In that case everyone at the table (assuming they're paying attention) knows the hand is going to be a chop and there's no point betting, but I don't know if you're technically required to bet just to satisfy the rules.
