Is this an ethical decision because you are up against other players and not the house? In blackjack, I'd consider a peek at a dealer's hole card to be manna from heaven. Wouldn't think twice about gaining an advantage from it. But I'm still kinda new to poker.

Secondly, do they not burn a card before laying one down? Maybe I'm missing something here.

No they do burn....She burned and partially turned before the button could articulate that he wanted to bet.

And yes, this wouldn't be 1/10th the predicament if I was playing against the house.

this is a raise/fold spot given where the bet came from. not a calling situation. this is without seeing the turn card. calling, IMO would be the worst option here.

Funny, the same thing happened t me the other day at black jack. I was in seat one with 2 tens against a dealers ace showing (she checked for black jack, but didnt have it) lucky for me tho when she dealt out her 2nd card her fingernails got stuck on the shoe and showed 2 aces, so I split my tens and got 2 21's....yahoo!

Ok on a more serious note, why in the world would you fold, or check.... raise raise raise. Part of this game is to be observant to get all the info you can and BET WHEN YOU HAVE THE BEST OF IT!!! Everyone always says, you are not there for fun, you are there to make money Bet the damn hand!

And if you were going to hell you would have known because someone whould have turned over A-Q on the end [img]/forums/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img]

I never said anything about checking or folding, my only question was whether to raise on the flop or wait until the turn to checkraise.

And if you were going to hell you would have known because someone whould have turned over A-Q on the end

Very good point...That would've been a perfect ending to the predicament. :-)

If they burn a card, why did they not, considering the pause, burn the next one (the queen) and then deal. Seems like burning a card is designed to eliminate things like what actually did happen... Or is there a problem I'm unaware of with burning two?
