Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

I cannot release my nude pics of Michelle right now - give me money - but here's Lord Wernick. Will that do?

The Lady behind, well you all know her. Where was the pic taken, when, & in what Comp? Who busted Jen, in what position, & what were their respective hands? No research, I can recall it as if it were yesterday.

Was it an EPT?

One teaser before I go.

In the often fractious DC game at DTD last night, it all went off a couple of times, & here's one example.

Two Asian Gentlemen - & nobody else - were in a big Super-Stud hand.

Mr Low-Stack rams the Pot, & Mr Deep Stack calls. The Pot is, let's say for ease of explanation, about £500. Due to being Pot-Limit. Mr Low-Stack has about £25 "left behind".

After 4th Street, it's clear Mr Deep-Stack has the hand all wrapped up. But he never bets the "last" £25, & it's checked down. This is a sort of "custom" among the more chivalrous players these days - always leave the guy his Fare home.

As a result, they were openly, loudly, & repeatedly accused of soft play, & collusion, by two other players.

Harsh, I thought. OK, we play Cash to take other folks money, that's OK, but nobody else was in the hand, & I think in these circumstances, it was perfectly acceptable.

Interesting topic Tony.  As told, I see no wrong.  When I play, I wouldn't put anyone in for their singles, but would put them in (friend or not) for their last 25.  I do admit that when I see 2 players check it down with decent stacks, I do feel wronged -- I don't get to see another street for free, so I resent it when someone else does, even though I might not be involved in the pot.

Not betting the strength of the hand according to the pure poker situation (i.e. not allowing who the opponent is to influence) is a very slippery slope and it quickly becomes a game in which people don't want to play.

I have no problem with the checking it down when 2 players are in a pot and one of them has less than a bowl or rice remaining.

It does cause a problem on the next hand though. If the player with the bowl remaining say 11 left loses the pot but was never all in he can continue the next hand with just 11 and doesnt have to pull up. So on the next hand he just throws in his 11 looking for value and it ends up being 6 way action and the guy with the best hand cant reraise.

So imo if its checked down as only a bowl remaining it should count as an allin and the losing player should have to pull up as he was allin on the last hand.

Yes I agree, had the player with chips said to the player with £25 remaining "is that allin" ? and then it had been checked down everything would have been hunky-dory as the £25 player would then have been obliged to pull up in order to continue. And Tony there are still £1 chips in "play" for rake and tipping purposes in a £5/£5 game.
