Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em (NL$25) (6 handed) 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].
1 folds, MP calls $0.25, CO raises to $0.75, Button calls $0.75, Hero raises to $5.90, 2 folds, CO calls $5.25, 1 folds.

Flop: ($13.25) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $5.00,

(Any comments on that bet?)

CO raises all-in ($21.20), Hero raises all-in ($12.95).

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] (2 players, 2 all-in)

River: ($52.40) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: $52.40.

Villain shows 9 9

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.)

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

Larimani · #4 08-21-2005, 09:46 AM

should I be calling & playing for set value?

I don't know, you haven't told us anything about CO.

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

the decision is yours to make. you didn't falsely affect his decision.

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...
