Poker Ettiquitte . . Checking Down


Recommended Posts

No more "cheating" than making deals, splitting, or selling/trading shares in yourself
It's completely different. So you are an advocate of playing in a tournament when you are all in 3 handed (they still have chips) and one guy says "let's check it down to give ourselves a better chance of knocking him out." You're okay with that? Its blatant collusion. Selling shares of yourself is not the same thing. Making a deal or splitting only happens when action is dead and EVERYONE has to agree to it.

I know the OP question is about ettiquitte, but in the Dec. issue of Cardplayer magazine their is an article by Matt Matros entitled Betting Into a Side Pot (and Why That's Ok) interesting read. He gets into the math of when it's ok to and when it's "catastrophic" to do so. Anyways thought I'd let you all know thanks for reading.I know not any examples but he talks about so many I didn't know which ones to list

This actually just happened to me on my most recent visit to vegas. Here is the short version. I'm playing the noon tourney at the fitzgerald. Down to 4 players and they are paying the top 3. I'm short stack and look down at pocket 4's. I go all-in and get 2 callers. Before the flop comes out the guy to my RIGHT says to the other player on his right. "Let's check it down" I melted down and went off on him for collusion, etc. The dealer didn't do squat and in retrospect I should have called the floor. Well, anyways both the other players start arguing with me that it's ok and I of course disagree. As we're discussing this the flop comes out with a 4. So now I pretty much know I'm going to win the hand, but we continue to argue. They ended up checking it down and I of course showed them both up with my trip 4's and tripled up. I was still severly short stacked, but the next hand that same idiot to my right went all-in with a very marginal hand against the chip leader and lost, thus I jumped up a spot to 3rd and ran like hell to catch my 5:00pm flight. Funny story after the fact, but I was PISSED and I very, very rarely melt down like I did that friday afternoon.
