Hi!
I encountered a rather weird situation during our home game (cash table 0.10/0.20€).
We are playing with the 27o rule- if you manage to win with 27o postflop, every other player gives you 2BB.
There are three players in the hand- myself and two of my friends. Villain 1 raises preflop, villain 2 cold calls and I defend my big blind. On the flop villain 1 bets, villain 2 folds and before I can do anything, villain 1 turns over 27o and celebrates. I let him know, that I am still in the hand and thank him for revealing his cards and I push all-in to which he obviously folds.
I start collecting the chips and he says that he thought that I folded because he saw how I threw my cards away, which I obviously didn't, I even had a chip on my cards to protect them.
And now to the main point- he said, that if I would be a man of honor, I would at least return his flop bet to him (which was quite big by the way) because he thought I folded and it was an honest mistake. But, I don't agree with this. It's poker, you need to be watchful and if everybody started to return the bets when somebody makes a mistake, it would get rather chaotic.
So, in your opinion, is it against the etiquette that I didn't return the flop bet to him?
