    Actually its against the rules to check the best hand as the last to act.

    I remember a couple of years ago at WSOP an old lady made the nuts on the turn and checked it last to act on the river.

    Floor was called and she got a 2 orbit penalty.

    Only count for the best possible hand not if you have 2 pair and its good on a flushing board or the like.
