Do you consider this angling?
 

I was playing in the casino the other day and was involved in a hand where I had the nutz on the river. Three people, including myself, were in the hand. On the river EP bets, I look to the older woman on my left and she looks like she is going to call. I raise and look at her and say "I'd call...I have nothing". That was a HUGE tell and obviously she folded then when I flipped my cards she called me for angling.

What do you think...is that angling? I was surprised that she was that nitty to call me on that at a 3/6 limit game.

Are you looking for support? If so I can't offer any. Dreadful. Learn to act with a bit of class at the table.

It doesn't sound like angling. It sounds like a terrible play, both for the purpose of winning money and keeping the game friendly.

I am not sure what she was complaining about. Maybe she disliked being lied to in an insultingly obvious fashion more than she liked the way you saved her $12.

When you see pros blabbing on TV while their opponents are deciding, the talkers are generally losing money at an astounding rate by not staying silent. To gain money from table talk, listen to what other people say instead of drawing attention to yourself and making people uncomfortable.

If you do want to try to influence a call or fold, only do it in heads-up pots, and then speak up about something irrelevant when it appears that your opponent is going to make the opposite action of what you want. Here, you risked an accusation of collusion to stop the woman from making a call you wanted her to make.

terrible play.

Re: Do you consider this angling?
 

not angling but pretty rediculous to give away that information, obviously I'm sure you know now you should simply raise and hope she calls

Just keep your mouth shut during a game and all's good...

Good point(s). I agree it is a terrible play for the reasons you mentioned. Generally I don't say much at the table and almost never talk during a hand but for whatever reason I did this time.
