He should keep the pot. People need to stop being nits about showing their cards at showdown.

The MOST Honerable thing to do is to ship it all to him. Though I "rarely" if ever have seen this done when a hand is misread or played [I've had it done to me early on in my poker playing (it hasnt and will never happen again)]

With that, the next and probably best thing to do is chop it, If hes a fish especially, keep him happy a little while taking some profit with you.


Its sorta scummy to keep the whole thing, IMHO

How many times have you played with fish that misread their hands? It's villans responsiblity to confirm you're not one of those fish and know what the nuts is. If he does this, in your example, he get the pot shipped to him.

We're all responsible for our own hands... ship the last hand standing the pot. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I can't beleive so many people are saying keep the pot. Yes it's the guys fault for not checking the hand, but the OP's horrible angle shoot cannot be rewarded. At least chop the pot with the guy.

[/ QUOTE ]

How is this an angle shoot? The OP said "nut low," not "nuts...... low." He correctly called his hand out.

When it comes time for a showdown, it doesn't matter what the villian hears, only what is seen.



[/ QUOTE ]

This isn't true. If the OP had said something blatently false, like "I've got the nuts," and this caused the opponent to fold, then the opponent would have a claim to the pot. However, in this case I would say that the opponent should get the pot, since "nut low" is not an expression which would ever be used at showdown in a serious vein, whereas "nuts" is commonly proclaimed at showdown by the winning player.

wow did he [censored] up. that said, if you keep that pot, you will create tons of bad will which may ruin a game that is typically very juicy (aren't all canterbury games juicy? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]). I think I'd call the floor, make the floor say that the pot is legally yours, then be the "good guy" by suggesting that you chop the pot. He basiclly gets his money back, and you guys spilt up the money of the limpers.

Saying "I've got the nuts" after river betting is just sort of ignorant anyway if you don't in fact have it.

Nevertheless, it is each individual player's responsibility to hold onto his or her hands until a)the player forfeits the hand by mucking (like this case) or b) see's that the pot has been won or lost.

If I've played a hand all the way past the river bet, I'm going to see at least two cards, whether those be mine or my opponents, before I get rid of my hand.
