OK, here is the situation. I play fairly regular in a live 5-150 spread limit game, it is a profitable game for me.
Last night I was in a big hand with a regular. Let me set up the table... Seat 3 is a regular, tight and fairly solid player, but one that I can beat. Seat 4 is a buddy of his, not a solid player that I use like an ATM but keep on a friendly first name basis with.
I get into a hand with seat 3 and he mis plays his A high flush by letting me drawout to the straight flush. He leads out the river for the max bet of $150, I insta raise 150, he raises 150, I raise 150... Now this is all happening FAST with verbal declarations. The dealer calls a stop to the action and demands that each move our bets out. I say "its OK, we are going to the felt on this one", seat 3 says raise 150 and the dealer puts his foot down and demands the chips. While we are getting the chips moved out and the action is on me, seat 4 tells his buddy "hey he has the jack" (the card to complete the straight flush), seat 3 comes back "so what", seat 4 "he has the straight flush!!!", shock crosses the eyes of seat 3 and the blood drains from his face.
OK, it is now my action... seat 3 has about $350 behind yet, and I have about $400 behind. I say raise $150, seat 3 folds face up.
I was as mad a wet hen! I did not say anything and frankly I dont think the rest of the table even really knew what just happened except I just raked a monster pot.
So how would you handle this considering I am likely to make a lot more than I lost by not getting the last $350 from seat 3 from a friendly seat 4 than I am a PO'ed at me seat 4 in the future.
