Re: Was Hachem being unethical?
[ QUOTE ]
but because you're at a poker table, there's a huge amount of 'is he lying? is he not lying?' that just naturally goes on. clearly if lee thought that it was so cut and dry that hacham was just telling the truth he would have folded his hand quickly. i don't see this as possible. i don't think it's possible that hacham came close to telling anyone who speaks fluent english he had AA or KK in this spot.
finally, i think you massively overestimate how poor an english speaker Minh is wrt these situations.

My question to you is ASSUMING I am right about Hachem's intentions and about how someone who speaks english well, has a decent amount of no limit hold em tournament experience and has played with and talked to Joe Hachem before would interpret Joe's actions, is what Joe said unethical.
I told you my interpretation of the situation. If you think I'm wrong then ok but that doesn't get us any closer or further to determining what is right and wrong in these tournaments.
Clearly you think It's ethical given your assumptions of what is actually going on. Would you tell me if you still think it's ethical assuming my interpretations are correct?
