The
act of checking a hand down when an opponent is
all-in by the other participants in the pot. This is done in order to increase the odds that one person gets a hand at
showdown that may be enough to eliminate the
all-in player. This is not regarded as
collusion, and is widely accepted in tournament play.
The only time you should bet is if you have the absolute
nuts, and are trying to milk the other big
stack in the hand for some profit.
Example: If the short stack shoves all in, the two remaing big stacks in the hand both called. On every subsequent street, both big stacks checked the hand down in some sort of a nonverbal agreement. One of the big stacks showed up with trips at river, knocking out the short stack from the tournament.
