Just a quick opinion on a Ethics question at a Tourney this weekend.
Down to last 5 in a CPT tourney in kk.
Just to set it up, the other player is a known shall we say Vocal player (hence Tipp Phil). We have a small bit of history, in that in a previous tourney i gave him a small lesson, which didnt go down well, and he called clock on me earlier in this tourney despite me being a generally quick player. He also slagged my play and accent (Bog Kilkenny), not that id mind as i only play for fun, and this guy makes it fun to play these CPT events as it takes all sorts.
Anyway with maybe 5-6 left in the tourney, i raised in the cuttoff i think, and he called in the BB.. Flop comes 934 and i forgot i was in position and checked (my plan would be to raise his enivatible bet with my hand 88). As soon as i checked he started calling over the director and mentioned that this could be an angle (it Wasn't), anyway after a bit of complaining he put out a large bet, which i pretty obviously responded to with an immediate all-in (i had him covered), and lets just say all hell broke loose. He actually complained more than anything ive seen live and on tv, saying my Etiquette was shocking etc, and he had been treated badly by the officials.
I have to admit i had to struggle to keep from laughing, and he was obviously never calling, so it was a nice show to watch..
Anyway i dont think i did anything wrong here, he could easily have checked if he wanted to and when he bet there isnt anything else i can do with my hand.. Id be interested to see if anyone agrees with him in this case.
I dont have any complaints against him, as he is a decent player near the top of the CPT leaderboard and as i said earlier is a bit of a laugh to play against.
PS reason for "Tipp Phil" " if it wasnt for luck id win every time".. or saying thanks about 20 times after he called my small bet and won with 3rd pair to my 4th pair. Or commenting on how great i played when i shipped on him and he had to fold some random hand..
