Poker Ethics Question

[GUMBY55]

I just had this conversation last night with somebody at a local tourament. He said he played a hand where he would have checked the hand down, but made a play because of the pre-flop raiser betting. He had no business being in the hand to start with with J-9 suited on a raise and an all in call, but that's beside the point.

He caught a straight flush draw and check raised his opponent all-in with it. His opponent called with his QQ and ended up losing to the donk. The all-in player had A-K and would've won with a pair of Kings on the turn.

I said that the guy with QQ should have bet to try and get more money. He was probably 60% sure he had the all-in player beat and 95% sure he had the donk call beat. It was the middle of a MTT and knocking someone out isn't that important at the time.

We talked about this for 10 minutes before I decided that I had enough and just realized that I could take all his chips. I did with 88 against his A-4. Hee Haw!
