Poker Ettiquitte . . Checking Down

[AAsnake88 0]

Edited: made a positional mistake************Was watching a hand tonight live as follows (6 handed):Blinds: 200/400Button: 9500 chipsSB: 1250BB: 7250Folded to the Button, who raises to 1250, SB calls all in, but BB raises to 2500. Button calls.Flop comes Q75. BB checks and before there is any action, the button says 'Lets check it down?" and and checks.At this point, someone at the table out of the hand says 'hey, you can't do that - that's collusion to openly say that!"But, the BB then bets out at the pot on the turn, all in. The button goes ballistic, and the starts accusing the BB of bad ettiquitte, for betting when he could check it down.Without knowing any of the cards, I ask the following:1. Can you openly ask someone else in the hand to check a hand down?2. Assuming the BB had some kind of hand, is there any ettiquitte breach by betting here, since its not a dry side pot?ThanksDev

A. Have you made 90k in a SINGLE MTT in your entire life?ORB. Does your ENTIRE MTT winnings equal less than 5k?

That is not an either/or type of question.

A. Have you made 90k in a SINGLE MTT in your entire life?ORB. Does your ENTIRE MTT winnings equal less than 5k?If you can answers YES to A....then feel free to tel NoSup he's a donk.

Tiffany Williamson said he was a donk? She made 400K in a 'SINGLE MTT' in her entire life! OMGZ!!!!111!!You can see how your questions are worthless.Stop being so results oriented. And a douchebag.Anyway, my point has been made.

You see that huge laydown she made with the KJ or something? She's the fricking nuts I tell you, don't knock her.I don't like to brag, but I'm almost as good as Aaron Kanter, so check that down donkeys!;)Mark

Stop being so results oriented. And a douchebag.

Also, in all seriousness, Adam is neither results oriented or a douchebag, an pwns Jamie HU.Mark

There.This is the signal that you've realized you are a tard and are subtly trying to shift the direction of the argument.People say don't bluff into a side pot. What do you do? Immediatly and emphatically disagree.Later, perhaps after a tasty sangwich, you realize your error.Instead of typing half a page of arguing in which you are actually agreeing, just say "I was wrong, sorry guys."It will make you look a ton better.

A few years back I was driving in my town in north jersey and passed a shop that I thought was named Sandwich Shop, after doing a double and triple take it turns out the place is actually called "The Sangwich Shop" Who the **** would have thought

Dearest Tard Colony,I have read a bunch of CRAZY **** talked in this thread...including people calling NoSup names like Donk, Idiot, Moron, etc....I have just one itsy bitsy question for the class....Since you all have such a VAST amount of knowledge in MTT play and I am sure you have made TONS of cash playing, I ask you this.....A. Have you made 90k in a SINGLE MTT in your entire life?ORB. Does your ENTIRE MTT winnings equal less than 5k?If you can answers YES to A....then feel free to tel NoSup he's a donk.If the answer is indeed B...then u need to STFU and maybe listen to what a WSOP FINAL TABLEIST has to say.Good Day All!

Chris MoneymakerNuff said about thatNow, don't you think that if you asked Daniel N. Chris Furguson, and Phil Helmuth to compare strategies they might have differing oppinions on some items?I have nothing against Mark. He is a great player I am sure. But completely wrong in this strategy. Bottom line, you have to have eliminated players to win a tourny AND you have to have all the chips. You can't have one with out the other and win at the same time. You can not argue that. Now all who have disagreed with me thus far can accept their loss and thank me for being so kind in victory!!!!!!!

Its not a bluff.This is starting to get rediculous.Do you consider it a bluff every time you bet and someone folds a better hand?

Wow...this thread still has some tread?My main point I was trying to get across was...Mark is a SIK SIK SIK player. I have been able to sweat Mark in multiple MTT's and the guy is an UNBELIEVABLY talented player. If you could see his hole cards and some of the moves he makes...well lets just say 99.9% of you don't have weapons in your MTT game to play the way he does. Trust me when I say this...you can NEVER EVER EVER put him on hand. So my venom was for those who are/were calling him an idiot etc. and saying he doesn't know what he's talking about. He isn't some random donk and those who invoke names like Williamson, Moneymaker, etc. as a comparison are missing the point. Those people may indeed be total donks, but....They have made deep runs in WSOP events....have you? That's all I am saying....the guy FT'd a WSOP event and cashed for over 90k. Maybe...just maybe...he may know what he is doing and HIS way to play may not work for you, but it's obviously working for him.Good Luck All!

You know what DOESN'T work in tourneys? When you accidentally misclick and minraise someone pf, get stuck in a hand where you are forced to move in on the flop, and get called by tp horrible kicker to bust out 23rd of a 2000 person tournament like I did last night. That kids, it what fricking doesn't work!!! Argh I suck.:)Just venting....Mark
