I bluff in a tourney, other players offer cash for him to call
We have a 20 person, 2 table home tourney $20 buyin. Blinds are 600/1200 with 6 players left at our table. It's folded to me in the SB and I go all-in for 9,000 chips with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
The BB has 14,000 chips and shows K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] face up while thinking. Our tourney has no time limit on decisions unless someone calls time, so he thinks for over two minutes. Other players start offering him cash to call. They came up with $3 if he called me. I didn't want to say anything at the time because then he'd know I was dominated. He ended folding, but I think that's against the rules, no? |

that is so wrong, that is breaking a rule of some sort.

You should have ultra bluffed and offered him some money to call you too.

[/ QUOTE ] hey, you could always suckout. In reality, if anyone ever offered to "Pay" me to call their bet, I would do it in a second. |

Re: I bluff in a tourney, other players offer cash for him to call
That is REALLY messed up! After the hand I would definitely yell at the people offering the money and have a talk with the host.
Regarding showing cards, I have a few players that will show their hands AFTER going all in so that someone chasing a flush wont try to suck out. Last night a guy showed a set of Kings on the turn because he knew the other guy was on a flush draw. I would never show in that situation, but I'm not afraid of a suck out every now and then. My favorite is when I have AK preflop and someone tries to intimidate me by showing an Ace. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Showing his set of kings makes his hand dead...so, he went all in and folded.

[/ QUOTE ] a few things (could be wrong but i don't think so) 1) Isn't a hand considered dead once a player shows his cards? 2) One player per hand. This a rule everywhere. 3) Poker Etiquette(sp?) really states that only players in the hand are supposed to speak at the table (although every home game breaks this rule i suppose) |

However many also say you can show your cards before a call if it's headsup (including tourneys, I actually still think the WSOP has this rule). Some, I've only seen this at NL at Showboat in AC, allow you to show either one or both cards at any time in a hand (regardless of number of people left)which I thought would be completely stupid to do. I couldn't believe it, but I heard it directly from the pokerroom director the only night I've been there (about a week after they opened). But either way, before a home tourney the host should lay out these kinds of rules. 2. Yes, they clearly were breaking or at least somehow infringing on this rule and should be penalized. 3. Yeah everyone speaks but no one should speak in violation of rule number 2 which they clearly did. Overall, it's a tough spot, you don't want to give your hand away by speaking up. If I were you I'd talk to who runs the game and get him to inform the others that such BS won't be tolerated and if it happens again the offending party forfeits his/her buyin. Those asshles could've changed the outcome of the whole tourney. Good luck, Matt |
