I make a straight on turn, player has trips. River makes board straigh

River is the 2, completing a straight on the board. He throw his hands in the air in dissapointment. I throw over pocket 2s and say "I had the straight on the turn mate, sorry, you got a set of 4s or 5s?"

Did you do this deliberately to get hi to throw it away? With a straight on the board (and you not having a higher straight) this statement is perilously close to an angle. If you said this to him in confusion, implying you had a set beat, I'd say there was a strong moral case for giving him his money back. And if you did this deliberately, it's a pretty scummy angle.

Technically, of course, you are entitled to keep it as everyone else said.

This guy should know to look you up on your straight, especially if he called your push. I for one can't see someone calling a push and then not seeing my opponents hand inspite of the board straight.

If he can't read a board, and wants to call an all in and then open fold to someone saying "Straight," he only asks to lose in the long run.

What a Ding-a-ling.

He should consider this a good lesson. He got his money's worth.

The only dick move is if you cheesed it the very next hand. Then I commend you.

This is the difference between cash and tournament games with the all-in rule - see the JC Tran controversy a few weeks ago. In a tourney both hands would be turned up, whereas in a cash game players can still muck their hands. You're within your rights to keep the money, and buying him drinks is a good move imo.
