Re: Decision at WPT Gulf Coast Championship FT
[ QUOTE ]
It is a common rule that if a player grossly misunderstands the amount of the bet, he is allowed to take back his action. This is only in obvious cases. Had Bill min raised, I probably make BB reriase at least the min. Had bill moved all-in (which he did) I allowed the BB to take back his action.

So, if Bill knew the common rule, and expected you to follow it, he could "manipulate" the pot, etc. Mainly because the BB had acted early.
If Bill did not know the common rule, and you clearly were determined to keep him in the dark, he would not know how to "manipulate" the pot, etc.
So, is it better that players do not know the "common rules"?
RR seems to feel that the only reason players want to learn the rules is to shoot angles. Do you feel the same way?
Should players be kept ignorant, or should the poker community try to educate everybody?
