Re: Is checking out \"unethical\"?
For what it's worth, i've never ever seen someone check out in a NL or middle limit game. I doubt it would happen, as these players will take any shot to get a pot. Anyone who's played for any amount of time has seen very silly ten high or bottom pair hands win on the river in a showdown.
The common situation is in a low limit game, 8 people see the flop, and one of the blinds throws his hand in so he can get a drink/go to the bathroom/etc, or when everyone's checking to the preflop raiser who will bet 100% of the time. I don't think anyone can find anything wrong with this practice.

I have only been called on to rule on it once; I explained to the player that throwing away your hand when not facing a bet was not an option; he apologized to teh table adn that was the end of that.
