Was this unethnical?

Last night, I was in a 9 man no-limit tourny at some guy's house. (Never been there before)

It gets down to the final 3. I am 2nd in chips and the leader has about a 2-1 chip advantage over me. At this point of the game, the blinds are $1,500-$3,000. I look down to see Ace-Queen suited so I raise to $6,000. The chip leader calls so it's heads up between the 2 of us. The flop comes Queen, 9, and 2. I bet $5,000 and the other guy said "How much do you have left, I will put you all in." I count my chips and say "I have $5,300 left." He counts the money out and pushes the chips in and turns his cards over.
I had never called, and I saw he had me beat (he had 9-2) so I mucked my cards. He's looking at me waiting for me to push my chips to him. When I don't do it, he's like "Those are my chips." I told him I never called him putting me all in and he gets all pissed. He ended up winning the tourny anyway (I came in 2nd), but I don't think they will be inviting me again. I don't think I was wrong. Was I?

he decided to show you his cards and get pissed when you don't call? What's there to discuss? How dumb the guy is?

[Kevroc]

unethnical? lol, does that mean acting very white?

[ctv1116]

Isn't his hand dead if he shows his hand before all betting is complete?

No you weren't wrong in any way.

[stigmata]

How did you do anything wrong?

He just expected you to call his all-in bet -- you were given no oppurtunity to fold, which you may have done even if he hadn't shown his cards. He was really, really stupid.

Yeah the rest of the posters are right -- the way you have told this story you did nothing unethical. If he, or anyone else at the tourney say you did, they are dumb.

Yea, I thought so. Some of the guys last night were saying that if I had been ahead, I would have called his bet. I think it was sour grapes on most of their parts because it was the first time I played with them and I ended up in second. Needless to say, if I am invited again-I'm there!

How the hell did this guy become the chip leader if he called a raise with 9/2? Looks like this game could be very profitable for you. Christ I thought my friends sucked at poker.

Good luck,
Matt

BTW, you were right, nothing unethical here.
