1. 0:00Best play with the nuts? Here, it's checking. I'll tell you why.
2. 0:04You bet the flop and the turn with top set. The river pairs the board: a full house with jacks. Nothing beats you.
3. 0:11Go all-in, and he calls 49% of the time. Check, and he goes all-in himself: 54%.
4. 0:17Because once you check, his one-pair hands start bluffing. Against your all-in, they'd never put in a dollar.
5. 0:23Bet every monster, and your checks become easy targets. Sometimes the strongest play is letting him bet.
