2 reason, first and most likely he is an idiot, second he was soft playing a friend or a third he hit the wrong button.

I'm going with the idiot scenario. I saw a similar thing the other day when this guy had the nut straight and just called someone who had the lower straight. People at the table asked him why he didn't re-raise with the nuts and he refused to believe us that he had an unbeatable hand. Some people in cash games are so skeptical and jaded by "bad beats" that they tend not to recognize an unbeatable hand when it comes there way.

Fourth possibility: He thought any bet wouldjust induce a fold, so he tried to trap the other guy into betting into him?

he was obviously afraid of quad ladies LOL

Don't you just hate it when people get in there with it b4 you...?????

lol

Who knows what goes through some of these peoples heads :O

Maybe he was playing six tables at once and didn't notice he had the nuts.
