Poker Etiquette - Integrity

betting into the dry side pot with a hand that has excellent showdown value is completely fine.

Had that situation near the end of last away game, but the guy was really trying to bust himself (Cant abandon a stack live???)
Funny thing was he ended up sucking out amazingly, even to about 5th on the FT... Allin 25 hands in a row or something crazy like that... He just shoved blind every time, flipping (mostly) trash but managing them to hold up somehow...

Hehe.

I'm an awesome dealer.

To be fair, I made a thread a while ago about playing a drunk 888PLer at the Cas and destroying him with [4c 2c] and him not being happy about it. It was that guy. I did feel like I owed him a little.


Also, my understanding of checking down with an all-in is that betting is acceptable once a WINNING 5 card hand is made.
e.g. Straight on a non-flush, non-paired board. Flush on non-paired board. FH or better.

If you have the absolute nuts, why wouldn't you bet? Brett said it best, that's the way I operate in Tournies. There is no point being angry at a player if they bet into a dry side with a made hand. You've probably seen more of the hand played out than you would've otherwise.

There are two types of people in the world

Those that bet into dry side pots with the nuts

And those who complain that someone is betting into a dry side pot, mainly because they completely missed.




Ok there's more people but I don't care.

Can't forget betting into a dry side with 4 high.
