Re: A very interesting ethics situation and a Bellagio Floor ruling
If you read what I posted up top, someone did this to me and successfully picked off one of my bluffs, cheaply.
A couple weeks later, the same guy did it to me...again.
In NL, the structure is such that on the river you know who your opponent is. The bets are also large enough that there's no common room for error like a simple pre-flop out of turn mistake. When someone is going across the line with dozens of chips, only a blind person, someone with downsyndrome, or an angleshooter would call out of turn.
I know you play limit, and I respect that. But there are some obvious differences here that you would have to play NL to understand. A river bet isn't two green chips. It's often entire stacks of reds/greens/ and some blacks.
Also, most NL pots are more likely to be heads up, or three way and the action on previous streets makes it really hard for you not to understand who you're playing against. I'd say almost impossible.
When this was done to me, the guy was looking right at me while I was cutting my chips down over the line and said, "Nick, I call."
Seriously, does it get anymore blatant than that?
