was I in the wrong

#1 31st August 2007, 9:07 PM

PLaying at a table on full tilt poker and in my hand I have ace 6 suited a player bets all in with 759 ( mind you he has been going all in since he sat) so I call as well as 2 other players. the flop brings in an A 2 and 6 so I have first bet so being the smallest of the 3 i bet 300 in turn they call.
on the turn comes a 6. I know have a boat so bet 500 in turn they call. Of course I win.... The girl in the hand said I should have never bet cause someone was all in. Am I wrong with this play?

No you were not wrong at all. You most likely had the best hand on the flop. You were very like to beat the all in guy. On the turn when you made a fh you would be crazy not to try to get as much money in the pot as you can. Normally people check it down with someone allin, unless someone makes a strong hand. If you make a full house you should always try to get value unless you think you might be beat.

Nope. Just sore losers. There is an old-school unwritten rule that you check down to eliminate a short stack all in but that rule is rarely heeded nowadays, especially online. What you did was perfectly legal and IMHO no longer a question of etiquette these days, though some may disagree.

pedroman pretty much answered everything and also this is online and not a live tourney. and I'm pretty sure it wasnt $1000 buy in either and even there i would have done same as u. so nice job and nice hand

The girl was probably talking about checking it down.
It happens to me alot, when a player is allin and they get 2 or 3 callers, the players usually check it down to eliminate the other player.
I do this, but i bet when i have a real good hand obviously to try to win the pot.
Then i get people at the end of the hand going crazy, saying i should of checked it down. I just tell them to SHUT THE F**K RIGHT UP.
I think that they just want a showdown for free.
