Message: [QUOTE="Bob23bk, post: 2612880, member: 133743"] [b]Sorry for the book![/b] Unethical... Ethics are moral principles; morality is the extent to which an action is right or wrong. It's obviously wrong to show the bluff in an effort to tilt other players[SIZE=3][B][COLOR=Red][SIZE=1].[/SIZE]*[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE] The same goes for rude chat and other 'tilt behavior' (God forbid you make it big and become featured in acticles like [URL="http://www.pocketfives.com/articles/dan-cates-throws-chips-like-baseball-player-opponent-590451/"]Dan Cates[/URL]) Some of us play it the opposite direction... Every situation is unique and what is ethical will depend on so many factors, but while I understand the general consensus that you should reveal as few cards as possible I think most of you are [B]highly[/B] underestimating the benefit of showing the bluff [I]if[/I] you can pull it off correctly ([I]and[/I] you run good:cool:) Let's take a look at your beautiful example: Was this move unethical? Depends on your objective... Next hand: ^ This is a quite stellar example of how showing the bluff can work to your advantage, well played good sir, well played! :D Given the information available, [B]Villain also [/B](arguably)[B] made the correct play here! [/B]From his position it was [I]too obvious[/I] (trap) you were trying to steal blinds from a loose table because you were short-stacked. :rolleyes: I could not disagree more, not only did you create a text book example of (dare I say extremely?) advanced play and gain valuable information about the Villain... The bold above shows that you know you made [I]all the right moves.[/I] You ingeniously exploited all this new-found knowledge to take advantage of a tilted fish! I can assure you there is nothing unethical about taking a tilted players chips if you did not have malicious motives on their emotions. Quite the contrary, it would be unethical to pass this offer up... I would like to commend you [I]again[/I] for seizing [I]yet another[/I] perfect opportunity! :icon_sant [SIZE=1][B][COLOR=Red]*This is debatable: if your objective is profit[/COLOR][COLOR=Red], is intentionally tilting a player really the wrong move?[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE] :angel: [/QUOTE]
