Why the [censored] would you ask to see the flop? That's pretty dumb since the hand's over. Take the whole pot, and move to the next hand.

A imo.

by seeing the flop, it makes things a little weird, but whatever, rules are rules, A

You can't give him chips from your stack because that would be ratholing.

There's nothing unethical about keeping a pot the dealer pushed to you, especially after a floor consultation. Remember that the thing that started this whole incident is when the opponent mishandled his cards. He brought this on himself.

[Ringmaster]

A, and it's not close.

You've done nothing but follow the rules of the game. Doing B, C or D might be a nice gesture, but you are in no way ethically obligated to do so.

Plus he outdrew you.

What if turn is Q, river is A and he had checked the flop. U stack him right?

This is a really funny ethics thread

E) meet him in the parking lot for a lil nutzinyamouth style 5/10 hu

you shouldn't have asked the dealer to rabbit hunt.

either keep the whole pot or if you are feeling generous do an equity chop (ie - give him 25% of the pot)

Good luck trying to explain an equity chop to a random idiot at a casino.

You can do whatever you want, but why on earth did you ask to see the cards if you intended to not do anything about it? Just shut up, take the pot, and throw your cards face down to muck pile as soon as you have cash.

This will annoy CO enough. If you want to annoy him more and do what you did, that's your prerogative, but you are definitely being weird.

You should take the pot and NOT ask to rabbit hunt. First off, whatever you think about it, those are the rules so you should respect that and follow them. This could create a bad expectation to everybody if something strange happens again.

As far as the rabbit hunting goes, it sure seems as though you're giving what is at least and strong implication that you're going to let the showdown determine who wins the chips. Otherwise, why are you requesting a rabbit hunt? Therefore, after the rabbit hunt, it seems like you need to offer him at least his money back and possibly the whole pot if you don't want to look like a two-faced jerk (I'm not saying you are; just that it COULD appear this way to the people at the table).
Ideally, just take the chips when awarded and move on to the next hand with nothing more said or done about that hand.
