Default Re: weird situation. is there any ethics consideration here?


i've probably played 500-1000 hrs with the 3rd guy at the table. he knows i don't softplay, or collude, or anything else. he folded his hand preflop, ie, had no money in it. he can quit the game anytime he likes. i can win the pot then give swedish guy $4300 if i want to. anything else?

also, there's a twist ending to the story, but i won't bother going into detail here, since nothing's been nailed down yet, and i didn't do what i did for any reason other than the fact that i felt it was the proper thing to do. but suffice it to say that good deeds are NOT necessarily always punished.

you shouldn't give him his raise back, that is so dumb, he would lose that whether or not he showed his hand anyway.

i like lapoker's reply, and i would be annoyed that he had shown.

show the 5 and tell him "it's a chop, i'm all in."

tc

ps seriously, id probably call and then get all in on the turn. if i really liked the guy, then id shove all in here and let him figure it out.

this reminds me of that hand posted a few months back where some guy showed AA preflop and the other guy pushed all-in anyway with KK saying "this is such a cooler."

just do what that guy did

Simple situation. He showed you his cards with no idea of your hand doing you a big favor. To try and win more money would be a disgusting angle-sot and revealing of your character. I would have done the same.

This is what you should have done. Shipped the pot, and then made him grovel for his money back. The best friendships are ones that have masters and gimps.
