Re: Was Hachem being unethical?
It is quite obvious you feel very strongly that this was unethical. If that is the case why didn't you say something as it occurred at the table instead of writing about it here and completely ignoring any arguments that conflict with your point of view?
I strongly doubt that Hachem would be telling someone who was a 4-1 dog to lay down his hand because he was worried about dodging a bunch of cards. He is a poker pro and a world champ to boot. The sidepot with the small stack cost him 22,500 to call. Why would he scare off a player with a lesser hand that could almost double him up in a sidepot? Do you really think Hachem would pass on a chance to bust someone with a stack of $110K as a 4-1 favorite? If he loses the pot with the small stack so what!
