Re: Is poker a serious sporting endeavor?

If Player A, an obvious drunken idiot who doesn't respect his money, makes a string bet it is considered as a different situation versus expert Player B by many posters on this forum. For this example, we will assume that Player B is an expert player who derives +EV from a stringbet. In a serious competition, Player A is held to the same standard as Player B. In poker, many will advocate that Player A be allowed to string while Player B be held to the rules. This distinction is based solely on Player B's perceived superior skill.

No, it's based on intentions (or probable intentions). The drunk guy wanted to bet more to begin with. The angle shooter only wanted to bet more after he got a read with his initial bet.
