Would you let him off

[esch]

I'd need a lot more incentive to let him off than what you've given. Seems you handled it well.

FWIW, if I don't see chips in the middle (or see that all-in card they use in some places now), I almost always ask the dealer if the other guy went all-in or called before I say call or I flip the nuts face up.

Thanks for the replies

I didn't think it was a real angle on his part but I just kept quite and let the floor rule.

I can understand your hesitation, with it being charity and all. Nicely handled. But good points made above about not turning your hands over too quickly.

Where was the dealer during all this? I probably would have announced my intention to call, but not flipped my cards.
