rbk, he actually turned his cards face up and if i didnt turn my head away i would have seen he had T8. [/ QUOTE ] Thought you had a set and didn't want you to outdraw him since you were probably getting correct odds (or close to it + future tilt)? |

Re: weird situation. is there any ethics consideration here?
About two years ago, I was playing live poker every day in the summer. Then on one day, I decided to go to the restroom and came back and the table hit the jackpot. Luckily, another fellow was in the restroom too so I felt less pain. This fellow suggested that each person gives us $50 for missing the hand. The table turned silence.
About 30 minutes later, the person who won the jackpot (about 8k or so) threw me and the fellow $100 / each. Now $100 wasn't all that much but I'm a sucker for nice gestures. About 20 hours into the session, the jackpot winner and I were in a pot. I had 67. Flop is 667. Lots of betting and raising on flop and turn. On river, I put him on A6 and shoved. I told him that since he was generous, I'll let him know that I had "flopped it." He sat there for 5 minutes contemplating what "flopped it" meant and whether I was bluffing him. After all, I was an Asian Youngun. Then he folded and I obviously showed. I have never seen anyone that lose a big pot and smile so genuinely. For the next few minutes, he was proud of himself for giving me that $100. Perhaps I was the sucker at the table. |

mike,
too fancy imo and slows the game down. i think shove and show one card is the way to go, but me being me, i might just shove and say nothing. |

i still like my line the best. shove, then he will say something along the lines of "you have the nuts?" then you say, "yes."

Re: weird situation. is there any ethics consideration here?
Shoving and not showing or saying anything is perfectly ethical, if there's such a thing in poker because ethics are entirely subjective. It's just a game. Nothing more. It will be his decision to call for all his chips.
