I have an O8B etiquette question.
I was in a 4/8 O8B game today at Bay 101 and flopped the nut low (a wheel). I checked and then bet on the turn. The guy to my left called and everyone else folded. The guy on my left was a friendly guy and we had been chatting a bit.
Before the river, he asks if I want to check it down. I figured he thought I had just a low and he was going high in which case I might have. But I said no and he says "I'll remember that" and then gets kind of pissy. I ask him if I am breaching etiquette (not that I would care that much since I had the low nuts and 90% chance of the high).
Anyway, he says "do whatever you want, but I'll remember". I bet he calls, and I scoop. I should say it was pretty obvious I had the A-5 since I raised preflop and the board had 2-3-4 on it.
So what is the etiquette with checking-it-down? It seems it's kind of like chopping blinds...some do, some don't but don't get pissy at me. I figure if his hand was weak, he shouldn't have called.
