ETHICS OF RAISING IN THIS SITUATION

[Mike Cuneo]

One time in a tourney we had at school I was on a huge bluff with like J2o and the board hit the nut straight. I got AK to fold his "two pair" because he was afraid I had a full house, even though it wasn't possible. When the other player in the hand called we chopped a big portion of his chips, then called him a dumbass. It was great.

Too tired to comment about ethics but one time my Hero got in about seventeen big bets on the river with the nut straight against a set and a nit held the set. I guess she played it deceptively on the flop and turn [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Was the straight on the board?

Or was the point that the 'nit' just kept going without having the same hand. (the nuts)

I actually saw one situation where it was not only -EV to raise but to call the raise as well. The additional rake generated was greater than each player's share of the pot.

Man, that's a tough game to beat... sounds like everytime someone bets $1 they rake $2. Does the guy who wins the -money pot have to give the house all the extra rake they were supposed to get, but couldn't because the pot ran out of money?

All-in without question. I don't give a flying f**k what the other players think. Popular players doen't get more money. I have no down side, I would be dead wrong not to try to make someone fold.

Rake isn't an issue. It should have already capped.
