Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 2038317, member: 23910"] If the rule where you're playing is the hand has to go to showdown then you're right, they wouldn't get the bonus. As discussed above, it's actually possible this is a [B]deliberate[/B] move by whoever made the jackpot rules, to make it harder for people to win and therefore encourage larger jackpots. The fact that some people design their jackpot systems this way doesn't make the "no checking the nuts on the river" rule a bad one. Good point, it's very possible that some places will enforce the rule in tournaments but not cash games. Definitely best to check the house rules at your casino or card room if you're unsure though, because there's bound to be places that will enforce the rule in cash games. [/QUOTE]
