There's a lot of acts that are technically within the rules of many games and sports out there but that doesn't mean you should do them.

Stealing signs in baseball, for example.

So in poker an angle shoot is defined as something within the rules that is frowned upon?

I remember one where a after a called bet on the river a guy would say "can you beat a straight?" hoping the other guy would fold when in fact the first guy never had a straight. He was just asking the other guy if he could beat one.

I guess if that's within the rules I totally agree with you.

But for me the bottom line is if it's legal where Todd normally plays (which really surprised me that any casino would allow that) then it was ok.
