Checking it down headsup in potential JP situation.

[redfisher]

These guys know each other, but I think their relationship is strictly poker related. They go to the flop with about 5 players. Flop is AAx. Player A is UTG and leads out. It folds to Player B on the button. He asks the dealer if they can talk about the jackpot. Dealer says no, but obviously A now realizes that a JP is possible if his hand can make it. They agree to check it down and do. A shows AJ for trips, B show TT.

A couple of players got irritated at first, but when they realized that B can't really call anything (JP was pretty small.) they calmed down and were fine with it.

Any thoughts on this?
