Re: Was Hachem being unethical?
[ QUOTE ]
I thought that he verbally trapped Dannerman in the last hand of the main event. Taking advantage of Dannerman's naivity and good nature. It's Hachem style of play and his sense of etiquette or lack of it. I'm with you, I'd just rather play cards and find that bullsh*t offensive. It brings up the question "when does gamesmanship cross the line" Should you be allowed to say anything to your oppenents in the middle of a hand? Then again, how can you legislate it?

what you guys dont always think about is that this is a game of people playing cards not the other way around.. there are many people out there (myself included) that use communication before during and after the hands are dealt to get some extra info that isnt always expressed through betting, the board, etc. i dont believe that any sort of talkin to another player should be considered unethical unless your just slamming a guy for making a bad call or bet or if your giving away information about your cards or someone elses. saying you know what someone has is usually just a scare tactic. and it works more than you would think. let people talk if they wanna talk. some give away information about themselves that way.
