weird situation. is there any ethics consideration here?

[mikech]

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?

i think what u did was admirable, i would prob show then push... not sure if i should be surprised by the responses in this thread

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.

It's nice to be human sometimes. And rise above the absurdity of this game. I always remember this one particular session: I was getting absoutely buried, beat after beat. To the point of legit empathy from my tablemates. Near the end of the session, I was readying a massive bet when the guy next to me told me to keep it, flashing his quad 10s. Nothing wrong with the occasional pang of humanity.

wouldnt it be sick if we had another hand with 6 in it, shove, and show him the 6 ?? id probably do that if i could then just post it in bbv if he called anyway

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.
