does executing a check-raise distinguish you as a poker player? what about the "i have a full house" play? do you see a difference?

The "I have a full house" play is a blatant lie to steal someone's chips.

Of course, bluffing is a part of the game, and a bluff, by definition, is a lie. But at least when you bluff, there is something on the line, something you're giving up. If someone calls you on the bluff, you lose. As for the "I have a full house" angle shot, there's nothing on the line for the shooter, and he is just abusing the fact that action is over and players have given up. That, imo, is unethical.

even if it's part of the game and its perfectly within the rules to do it, it's still unethical and it is reasonable to look down on people who do it. To do it or not is just a personal choice, some people are willing to disregard ethics and their reputation for money. Some are not.
