broke a rule at the table

[willie]

an interesting thing happened to me last friday night

no limit table, 1,2 40 min buy in

*sorry for not clarifying*******************
This is at a casino, 8 strangers my friend and i at the table.
**************************

i'm mp with ak hearts, folded to me so i raise to 7 dollars


all fold to my friend in the bb (my actual friend, i live with the kid) he calls.

he says "check dark" as the flop rolls

kqx.

I bet out 10 dollars into the pot

"ARE YOU SERIOUS? UGH..I'M ALL IN"

so i call.

he has aq, i hold up and take down a gigantic pot.

this was my second time at a bm casino EVER and i did not know that i should have been checking it down. table and buddy gave me a real hard time about it

i know i messed up in retrospect, but he made a huuuuge mistake since comin over the top of me i think too- cause when he did that I figured that all bets were off......

other folks at the table said that you typically check down when headsup in a pot with your friend, since you're not there to take each others money.

Who said you should be checking it down?

Nice hand sir...you did nothing wrong.

yeah, you should have bitch slapped him in the face for being such a [censored].

this is the worst thread ever.

also raise more than that preflop.

your home games must be boring as [censored] with all the checking down post flop that goes on.

Willie, can you enlighten us all to what in the hell it is your talking about?

[willie]

hm, everyone seemed to agree with my buddy at the CASINO

our home tournies are basic go at it run of the mill tournies

but supposedly in a casino if you're headsup against your friend you should just be checkin it down.......

i didn't feel like i did anything wrong all i could say was

"i'm sorry for callin the all in with the best hand"

[Penetrater]

Agreed. Even my closest friends are my enemies while we sit. I am trying to get everyone's money and that includes them. Your buddy is just sore about the fifty bucks you relieved him of. Buy him a beer, call him cowboy and rub it in. See if that doesn't solve your moral dilemma.

If he's pissed and you think you were wrong then just give him back whatever you won. Doesn't that seem easy enough?

[pshreck]

Not really understanding this. I've played Foxwoods numerous times, and many tables in AC. Any time there is a hint of friend collusion it generally pisses the table off, and no one ever accepts it (for the most part). Your meaning to tell me you found some table where in fact people get angry when you didn't softplay your friend? At most tables your friend would get in trouble (kicked out possibly) for implying that you are softplaying eachother. The fact that it was heads up means no one gets hurt, but if there was a third player in that could be grounds for both of you getting the boot.

What in the hell casino was this?

it was headsup. seneca niagara.

The people at the table, including your friend, were idiots. There's no such "rule" as checking down when you're heads-up, with your friend, your grandma, or a complete stranger. Take his stack, then buy him a drink at the bar afterwards. Plain and simple, this is poker, baby.
