"You Can Never Be Too Careful!"
Tom Dwan once said that one can never be too careful when playing poker. He said so with a smirk on his face in one of the episodes of High Stakes Poker, mocking a very cautious player. Dwan might have said the same if he was standing next to Steve Watt's and John Eames' table a couple of minutes ago. Then again, Tom Dwan has fallen of his pedestal pretty hard the last couple of months, so take his words for what they're worth.
Anyway, we saw a hand just now where the small blind checked on a flop of 
. John Eames in the big blind bet out 525 and Steve Watts (who presumably was the initial raiser) in the hijack made the call, the small blind folded.
Eames checked on the 
turn and called after Watts bet out 700. Eames checked again once the 
completed the board. Watts double checked his cards, and checked behind.
Eames showed 
for the flopped flush but he was outdrawn by Watts' 
. Eames laughed he might had check raised, and that was probably exactly why Watts didn't bet.
