My new favorite move

[budman]

Playing 20-40 limit with mostly pros last week.

I flop a B.S. full house in the big blind, slow play until the river. Here comes the move.

I grab a handful of chips and reach out to tap the table for a check. All the 'know it alls' immediately say that I have automatically bet by going out past my cards with chips. The floor comes over and tells me I have to bet.

I make the bet, am raised and reraised. I cap and take down a monster.

Good way to make friends. Was this at the Fox?

It was at the Fox.

I was especially pleased with the angle shot because the players had been making a beef of one thing or another twice per down.

[alimoe]

Isn't that an angle shot if you know what you're doing?

[budman]

Yes, but wouldn't a check raise be a angle shot also? And even if it is an angle shot, why not?

[esch]

I thought I knew what angle shot meant, but with everyone calling this an angle shot, I'm not so sure now.

This is not an angle shot. All the decision making was out of the player's hands. An angle shot would have been if the check was allowed and the people checked behind and then he bitched about it and was actually given the opportunity to bet for some reason.

Well done.
