Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em (NL$25) <font color="#0000FF">(6 handed)</font> link

CO ($27.20)
Button ($19.50)
Hero ($23.95)
BB ($25.00)
UTG ($10.45)
MP ($48.70)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 folds</font>, MP calls $0.25, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $0.75</font>, Button calls $0.75, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $5.90</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls $5.25, <font color="#666666">1 folds</font>.

<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $5.00</font>,

(Any comments on that bet?)

<font color="#CC3333">CO raises all-in ($21.20)</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises all-in ($12.95)</font>.

At this point I ask Villain via chatbox "will you show if I fold?"... and he answers "YEAH"

So I call.

Turn: ($52.40) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

River: ($52.40) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: $52.40.

Villain shows 9 9


Unethical?

Re: Is this unethical?
 

No, not unethical. But not very smart either, unless you know villain to be unintelligent. (And if he has downs syndrome or something, maybe it is unethical anyway.)

Re: Is this unethical?
 

Yeah, uh, what's up with the re-raise pre-flop?

should I be calling &amp; playing for set value?

Sorry, that was not really the point of the post... Maybe I should have posted in the philosophy forum.

How dare you ask him a question and use his response to make a decision. You did send him his money back, though, right?

I love when people type in "Ill show" into the chat box coaxing a fold.. its a huge tell most of the time, except in tourney play where you dont want to be all in with a decent shot at getting drawn out on when in good chip position...
