Robbed? You tell me.....

It seems to me that there's a fine line between angle shooting and misleading your opponents fair and square. I have no problems with people pretending to be uninterested in a hand when they hold the nuts, but I do have problems with people insisting on a check when they know it wasn't one.

It's like AdamM's point about dropping the first chip. Everyone at the table knows it isn't an angle shoot when the newbie drops one chip a split second be4 the other, but then some veteran insists that the first chip only stands.

Sometimes we need to inject more common sense into the game, especially when the area a as grey as Slick Kid's checking scenario. Either that or we make the areas less grey by bringing some clarification to these minor rules.

I dont think you were robbed and I dont think it was angle shooting. If sombody checks out of turn by tapping the table it should stand. 

 I dont think is up to everybody else to realise that you huming and fake checking is only a cunning plot to mislead us as to the value of your hand.

Do you find these actions fool anybody ? lol

Got pulled up (by Snoopy who was dealing I think), for this at BB2 - was tapping the table, then went raise. Was told that the tapping could have been taken as a check. Friendly tourney so I said OK then if anyone thought I'd checked then we'll count it as a check. I was lucky enough that my KK stood up.

Doubt it was angle shooting though - just me having a  .

If it was me (not sure, can't remember), then I was probably just pulling your leg. I'd never be that mean at a social event. 

I knew that - it was one of the other players who noticed it, you said that I had been & it couls be taken as a check. I think if I'd argued I'd have been able to raise, but I said OK first action counts we'll take it as check.

I then raised the flop & got no action anyway

Certainly not complaining at you (I didn't even know I was tapping - over-excited at the KK I'd just received  )
