Default Re: Was I out of line/stupid?

Well you're using lots of buzzwords like "+EV" but you forgot how MINUS EV it is to piss off the fish, nay the whole table. Shut your yap and let the guy just call already, you'll make it all back, plus more later if you just keep everyone happy. Calling the floor was insane, now they all hate you, and will play tighter, harder and better against you in the future.

EV can be a lot like implied odds, you can get a lot more of it in the future if you are willing to take a slightly short price right now.

Besides, if he clearly intended to call, it's a call.

he made a mistake, you took a semi-angle shoot with cards to come and announced you had AA basically, then won the minimum..i wouldn't punish someone for an obvious honest mistake...you yourself said he obviously didn't know what he was doing. You should have just let there be some mystery about your hand and won some bets on additional streets.

I would say you were ok to ASK the dealer whether those chips belong in the pot - but once the dealer says "no", then calling the floor was a HUGE mistake.
