I feel so dirty...

I didn't post this because the QQ hand was results oriented. Essentially, I didn't really show much remorse in my first post, and for that I am sorry for not better canvassing my guilt. I played really poorly after the hand because I felt so bad. And by the way, I play a weekly home game and we're all there to be competitive and have fun.

People do what it takes to win, if you don't do what it takes than you lose. It just takes different things for different people. I don't understand why people think that poker is a game played for honor and truth. It is a game that is specifically built upon lying and stealing (bluffing) to make money.

I don't hate or like this, I'm neutral. The relevant point is that if you take betting lines against bottom pair that require actions like this to win, you have considerably bigger problems in Hold em then what 2p2 thinks of your table etiquette.

Another one of you guys. So if there's an old man next to you who won't notice you grabbing a few of his chips, do you go ahead and (literally) steal them?

No. You must get easily confused. A fake check to induce action isn't bluffing, misrepresenting your hand, or "stealing" the blinds. It is just plain old cheating, like marking cards, collusion, or pulling an Ace out of your sleeve. Duh.

The Mets and Fins fan is having a tough Fall. Duh.

Me personally, no, because that would be illegal. My point was the game of poker is based on lies and deception, which happens to be looked down upon in society.
