Am I out of line? (hypothetical)
 

So this would be the situation:

Live game.

You and 2 other players have equal stacks at the beginning of the hand (doesn't matter how much).

You are sandwiched between them so you act second.

River comes and you have the absolute nuts, you can't lose and you can´t tie the hand.

First player to act goes all in and of course you are calling but you also want an overcall from the other player.

Would it be ok to stall, act, maybe say something like "I just hope he doesn't call" (referring to the last player to act).

Note: the "I hope he doesn't call" is an exageration. It's just an example.

Why would this not be ok?

IF anyone falls for this you deserve their chips.

I like to go with the.. "Are you gonna call?"

I would stall for a sec assuming your stack isnt really close the the AI bet on the river. If that is so just shove if the player behind has you both covered. I dont think its unethical to stall, but talking to get him to call imo is just gay. I would look down on you personally.

And that's why you are a tool.

one would have to be a moron to fall for it, but in terms of ethics, i don't see a problem.

I think a more effective way to garner an overcall would be to call, then look at the player that made the initial all in and get ready to flip your cards up, expecting him to show. This would give the image that you forgot the second guy was in the pot. This might prompt an overcall or a shove from him if he thinks he can beat the original bettor.

So you turn up the stone cold nuts and expect that to cause someone to call you?
