Re: allen C. rereraise on river with three AAA, can\'t be good
Not many hands fit the board. After the turn, only A6 makes a full house, and it (along with AA and 66) would usually be bet by this point. After the river, add AK, KK and K6 to the full house list. A raise potentially knocks out a flush, and maybe even a gets a sheriff call from a weaker A (don't remember AC's 2nd card to play) and even a 6 in some circumstances.
If RW is making a move (which he is capable of doing from ANY position), his raise potentially knocks out the best hand (PH) and induces a crying call from the bluffer (RW). And that is certainly a plausible situation. He probably doesn't put RW on a flush, as a flush would likely not do more than call after the river.
It's just one of those moves in which you're a genius if it works, and a donkey if it doesn't. If only these guys could see the hole-cam images...
