I’m a poker novice so don’t really know the etiquette. I don’t think the caller did anything wrong until he showed his hand. Just unnecessary at that point (he had already achieved what he needed) and guaranteed to foster a lot of ill will. But I also wouldn’t have known to offer villain to take his raise back and collect the pot and this was villain’s fault in the first place.

[@sQuaTsiFieD]

@@brendan3143 yeah a lot of people will think this is scummy, but he had a decent amount of money in the pot already and shouldn't be forced to just give up and fold when the villain shows a marginal hand.

That's why you don't show your hand unless it's required to collect the pot. You gain nothing. You give free information. You risk shit like this happening. This applies to both players. The hero showing at the end gains nothing except for all of the regulars hating him. You could've gotten away with it and nobody would ever know.

[@noex100]

It's kind of a stretch to say you "gain nothing" by showing. Some (certainly not all) players do so to forge an "image" and then take advantage of that image by doing the opposite.

ELITE thumbnail

[@SuperEuclidean]

not an angle. i have been on the opposite end of this scenario, where I was in the other guy's shoes. I flipped over my hand prematurely after the turn because i wasn't paying attention to who was left in the hand. I had top pair, an open-ended straight flush draw (one of which was the royal). The hand plays on, my opponent bets into me for a pretty sizable amount relative to the pot. I think he is trying to push me off my hand, i sit there and calculate my outs, and i came to the number of like 23 or 26: any straight making card, any flush making card, any trips making card, and maybe any two pair making card (this particular oppenent had been chasing straights and flushes all night, so i put him on two pair or a draw). Anyway, massive draw, i jam for his effective stack, he calls, and turns over bottom two pair. I of course do not hit my outs and he scoops. Moral of the story is: Protect your hand.

Something similar happened in a live tournament I was just in. Three ways to the flop. BB bets out, I fold after him, BB flips over his trips jacks thinking the hand is complete and the guy on the button still in the hand thinks it over for a minute and then folds saying he can’t beat it anyway.

[@Stockholm_Syndrome]

I have been in a similar situation a few years ago. On the river we are HU. I am in position. My opponent (a younger woman) is thinking and sort of shaking hands. The dealer perceives this as a check and the dealer says check and points to me that it is my turn. I don't have a strong hand, so I say check quickly and show my cards. Now my opponent says she didn't check at all, that she just shook her hands because she is nervous. The floor comes to the table and says that the hand should continue and I can play with open cards. My hand is not dead. So she gets a second chance to act. But she has seen my cards and that they are weak. If I remember correctly, I have the third pair. She thinks for a moment and makes a big bet, a little over the size of the pot. My thought process now was that if she saw that I had a bad hand and she wants more money, she shouldn't bet so big. So I have better than her, I thought. I call. And sure enough, she had a worse garbage hand. In retrospect, I have learned that the floor was wrong. If the dealer perceives her hand movement as a check, that's what it is. The player is responsible for her movements with her hands, cards and chips. At the time I was upset, but in retrospect I am happy because I won a much bigger pot! Mr. Anonymous did nothing wrong. If you cannot bluff or lie, that means you must always tell the truth. Aren't bluffing and lying two of the more important aspects of poker? //End of story!

I will just play my hand optimally against the range as if I didn’t know the hand.

[@EfficientRVer]

At plenty of casinos, the floor might or might not let you cut a deal to return his bet and take the pot. Somewhere like Foxwoods, the ruling is more likely "Action is on you, the bet is $300". Anything other than that might be considered condoning soft play, which they simply will never do. No checking it down, no chopping a pot with even $1 of other people's money in it, etc. But some floors might still ask what deal the two of you want to agree to, then ask if anyone at the table objects. With unanimous consent, in a genuine mistake situation, they'll usually allow you to do what you agree, if it settles it right then with no more cards dealt. They generally will not enforce a deal specifying action on cards not yet dealt, such as checking it down. Of course that's somewhere that never allows running it twice, never allows rabbit hunting, always makes straddling optional even if everyone "agreed" to a round of straddles, etc. Hero did nothing wrong, but I also he did nothing smart. You are SO likely to get called down in that spot, that I simply think it's -EV doing what he did. It was also not smart to show, because it's a real poke in the eye to someone who is already very upset about the situation. You don't know who they are or what they'll do, because it will seem like a personal attack rather than a poker attack. If I were wanting to show to poke them in the eye, which I see ZERO reason to do, I'd be sneakier. I'd show it to someone next to me, or maybe show my whole end of the table, and give villain a couple seconds to demand "show one, show all". Then I'd push the cards in to the dealer so that I'm not the person showing the cards. But far better is quietly mucking the cards, with or without saying "good fold, you were drawing live"

[@fjhoneybadger6935]

This happened to me only the guy was young and cocky intentionally showing his top pair to try and get me to fold. I raised with nothing, and he folded, and I showed telling him it was easy to play poker if I know your hand. Anyway, the guy did nothing wrong. Great play, even better show. Ask Phil Ivy. He always knows who is in a hand, even when the mouth checks out of turn.

[@brianbasham3517]

[@seanmurphy9632]

"He made an honest mistake." Don't flip or release on a non-showdown until the chips are pushed to you, and you won't make this mistake. Regarding the very last bit of the video, I called out I had a straight a couple of months ago, but I didn't. I needed the J not the Q that hit on the river. Had my opponent mucked before I showed, I'd have given him the pot. He was smart enough to wait before he mucked. But I did flip immediately so it was clear I was just an idiot and not an asshole.

[@TheBrownGent]

The guy acted in bad faith to take advantage of someone's mistake. I don't get how he wants to do that but then appear as the good guy. He didn't cheat, but he sure didn't win any favours, especially with tabling the hand like he discounted combos because he got to see his opponent's hand.

It's not just an innocent mistake, it's a blatant error that the villian shouldn't have made, as caller put it "rookie."

[@emphatically]

Very entitled comment. You can say tabling your cards was an honest mistake, but then proceeding to accuse hero of hiding his cards because you’re upset about the situation *you* caused is simply out of line. Also, hero isn’t required to play his hand in a manner that makes decisions easier for you because of a blatant error *you* made. It is 100% up to you to make turn and river decisions going forward, regardless if hero decides to use the information provided to him to his advantage or not. Rather than having this weird sense of entitlement you should use the situation as a learning moment to be more table aware before showing your hand.

He should just own his mistake and not be a little bitch about it. He also could have called on the turn.

[@popskull42]

Literally, all long-term profit in poker comes from using angles obtained through information leaks and exploiting mistakes. It only gets into gray areas when you start doing things to make your opponent leak information, creating angles rather than taking those you're given. This guy did nothing to make his opponent give away all the info he held and make a huge mistake. Heck, if Villain had mucked after saying good fold rather than exposing his hand, the pot would be Hero's. In some rooms exposing your hand would kill it and the pot would STILL be Hero's as played! Villain was fortunate to have the opportunity to act and try to win anyway - he could've shoved first - but chose not to take it. Should he have shown the bluff? Dude put the entire table on tilt! If he had the experience to handle that better, it would've been pretty brilliant, really. But that's not a fun way to play poker, so he probably shouldn't have done it. Villain would've been in his own head anyway and massively exploitable and still at the table. That's probably a better scenario. It doesn't make him an asshole to do, though, poker's a mental game!

[@EfficientRVer]

True. I once had an overpair (JJ vs AT on T high board, playing 5-10NL at Foxwoods), villain calls my turn bet with TPTK, tables his hand thinking it had been the river. He just left them there face up as the river card came and was a blank. I took 30 or 60 seconds to choose my bet amount, not because it was technically difficult, but because I was trying to figure out whether he would knee-jerk punish his own mistake by folding to an all in no matter what, or by calling no matter what. I didn't come up with an answer, so I bet half our remaining effective stack, both to make it more likely he'd call due to pot odds maybe even overriding a knee-jerk tendency to fold. And it was still a bit over pot size. But he absolutely snap called in 0.1 seconds, so I clearly should have shoved, unless his thinking was "I'll snap anything but a shove". So my own recommendation, is to bet $50 short of the remaining effective stack, so he maybe thinks I am saving some money for dinner/gas/whatever while bluffing. I think bluffing into someone who showed a good hand before showdown by mistake, is generally a very bad idea. Too likely to get snapped off.

"I wanted to find a way to get my money back" *plays 53o* God I love poker.

[@bobsburgers8885]

I don't see anything wrong here. I don't even think it's close to the line. There would be nothing wrong with using that information to fold a worse hand (like if it was a cooler type situation). Similarly there's nothing wrong with using that information to bluff with a worse hand.

[@ethannissani7062]

I don't understand how take your raise back and give me the pot is somehow more ethical? if anything wouldn't it be take your raise back and we can split the pot?

[@craigsimmons3490]

Some people will call this ok but I put it on par with stealing a purse from an unconscious woman. Then again, you saw a flop out of position with crap for cards, missed the flop and called the SB's flop bet so you had to be setting up a bluff. If he hadn't shown, he likely would have called your turn shove.

This is a snap call with K6 here good i wish players tried this vs me.

[@VOID_FLIX]

Rule number one- protect your hand. If we are playing for MONEY, any play/move that is clearly within the rules is acceptable. Caller did not cheat, nor did he do anything that was even close to cheating. Do what you can to win the pot and leave your feelings at the door.

[@jamesbell1613]

Very lucky and I find this hand dubious. Easy call off on the turn by the villain.

[@CancelIFR]

This is the equivalent of boxing, where you are supposed to protect yourself at all times. The opponent didn't protect himself, so he's fair game at this point.

[@efg1311]

When he said the OTG called the floor over and accused Hero of hiding his hand, then I think he deserves it, show the bluff!

[@rppoker8541]

This happened at Parx

[@Jesters_Thorny_Crown]

My casino wouldn’t let you negotiate post action. Idve shown the 3 and let it be what it was.

[@codyobaker]

I think the play is fine (although I generally agree with Bart on these types of calls that it's better to be amenable give the other person some grace) but the caller flipping his hand over is dirty. He didn't even want to say it and once I saw that's where it was going I was dying of laughter. It is a dick move but I'm happy he called in so I could hear the story.

[@GrowFromHome]

I almost forgot about the quad barrel bluff that guy is the most legendary villain of all time.

[@justinrevels759]

Love the show on the end after the guy made the acusiation of hiding his cards
