tournament ethics/strategy question

[Gbob]

I wouldn't call it an ethical question, but I do question the intelligence of the idiot who tries to bluff the side pot when an elimination is at stake. Personally, even if I flop the nuts it's in my intrest to check it down just avoid a suck out that might keep me out of the money. I wish everyone would, but sometimes when you play you're stuck with people who have no common sense whatsoever.
