Give you an example ... Got into it with 3 others on the river; 2 were playing the wheel and one was playing a set vs my 8 hight straight. It went bet, raise, re-raise (me), long pause call, long pause call, long pause call and I took down a huge pot with the nut straight. The guy beside me says "Nice hand. Do you play on-line?" I reply "Yes, why do you ask?" He answers that even with my hand he wouldn't think about re-raising the river. I was stunned - he wouldn't raise the nuts? Maybe I'm missing something here and he was talking about going for over calls - but I don't think so. I took it as - even with the nuts a three bet is way too aggressive for his liking.

He's probably concerned that the dealer might accidently muck his hand, thus he saved a few bets . . .
