Re: RESULTS
I honestly can't believe that you would even consider chopping the pot with the opponent, but it leads me to ask you a couple of other similar questions that I've seen come up in live poker.
Do you considering chopping the pot if an opponent bets the turn and river, announces that he has a straight, and upon turning his cards over is surprised when he realizes that has 4 to a straight/air?(assuming you honestly believe he had a straight)
Do you consider chopping the pot when you put a horrible beat on somebody?
Id imagine your answer to both these questions would be no. The first scenario(as in this case), is a player error, punishable by him losing the pot. The second scenario is just part of the game.
The only time id ever consider doing something like this is if there was some sort of dealer/management error involved where you really believe the opponent had the best hand but by no fault of his own, the pot was shipped to you.
