Default Re: Players announce they are going to check it down?

[ QUOTE ]
It is common practice in tournaments when multiple players are still live vs. one all in player to check down to the river. I also see it in limit games @ the local card room I frequent. I don't quite understand why you would be upset in this situation; you have no further options available to in this particular hand anyway. If you do feel strongly about this action, you should mention to the host of the game that you feel deliberate check downs should not be allowed & the "house rules" be amended to enforce the policy.

you get upset becuase if one of the others decides to bluff at the pot and gets the rest to fold you mat end up in aheads up situation with the best hand. By all agreeing to check you have to beat all players who are all getting a free chance to outdraw you.
