Would this be an unethical use of chat? Is it legal to do this?

[Unoriginalname]

I've thought about trying this sometime when I get AA fairly early in a tournament: Pushing it and then quickly saying something like this in chat:
"OMG WTF happened, I clicked the fold button!!!"

Would this move be considered uncool or unethical? Would you say there's nothing wrong with doing this and it's your own fault if you're dumb enough to fall for it? I wonder if it would even work.

I think there are a lot better ways to play AA. Your move is not unethical, IMO, just stupid.

Nah I think this is perfectly legal.

In live play if I am unknown and I am HU or short handed sometimes if I look down from the SB or LP and I wake up to AA I'll try to check out of position like I am not very interested in playing the hand and think I am in the BB. Then when I am told of my error I will just complete or limp. This works especially well versus really LAG opponents.

It is pretty funny when it works but it completely alters your table image and people are going to get very suspicious of you.

I think this is probably why I've never actually tried it. I don't want to just blow a potentially very +EV opportunity and only pick up t25 or t45.

I have seen a similar one in Party 11 sng: Very early stage of the tournament, guy says "I have my favorite hand, king and queen suited. I have to go all in." Other guy with AQ calls and beats his KK..

I did this once after I had pushed two times in a row preflop. On my third push I had AA and typed in "gotta go." Someone called me with 99 or 88 or something.

He might have called anyway, because people love to call when they think you're bluffing.

I usually do this with a "f.uck wrong table!!"

Saying anything will just increase suspicion.

You're better off raising to 600 and then flipping out in the chat saying you only meant to raise to 60
