Default Re: Floor Ruling on a player\'s action

How is this a malicious angle? If I know somebody is making a stab at the pot on a bluff/middle-low pair. If I allow them to put the full bet of their intention out, they will then be pot committed to call if I raise all in. Now if I say all in immediately it obviously shows strength #1, and #2 it allows the person to re-think the situation as they are now playing for all their chips (or mine for that matter, but I don't do this unless I have a larger stack). Sometimes they look me up, but most of the time they fold. I'm just curious as to how that is a malicious angle? I see it as an awesome play.

OK. I'll take "malicious angle" back. And it's an awesome play if you are in fact not disputing your out of turn "allin" (i.e., claiming it as out of turn and thus not binding) in those cases where your opponent is in fact very strong when you are not and immediately says "call".

That kind of awesome play simply won't ever be part of my arsenal though.
