I agree with you. What if they don't bet the nuts only when there is a certain player in the hand? Like a friend or a spouse?
Again, I agree with you.
The rule is that you must bet the nuts when you are last to act.
Yes, but again - what if you are soft playing a friend because you don't want to take their chips. This matters in a tournament.
Agreed. The issue I bring up is about cheating via soft play.
It is not your decision. You will be penalized in live tournament play for not betting the nuts in position.
The issue I bring up is about cheating via soft play - which is a form of collusion.
Hello brother
Well if you are playing at a table with your spouse or a friend, don't really play hahaha they will always beat you.
Joking aside, I think that if you are playing at the same table with a friend you are cheating.
Because you can play knowing what cards you have and what cards he has and that is a huge advantage.
In this case, in online poker, I believe that the sites must have a review of players who always enter the same tables or players who play on 2 laptops and enter the same tables with 2 accounts.
Imagine, for example, if you are often about to pay a hand according to the blocking cards you have, imagine playing with 4 cards (2 from each account) almost as if you were playing on an Omaha table against 5 players who play Hold em. . It is understood???
In tournaments in general, if they do not bet the nuts they are penalized, because there are many players who end up being friends over time, and there are some who are sentimental and would think that their friend would leave a tournament in a confrontation.
But that's where I totally agree with my compatriot Damian Salas, winner of the
wsop 2020.
He says that outside of a tournament, we can share a dinner, a couple of beers or a conversation. But within the tournament there is no friendship, if I can get all the chips from my friend I will do it and if he does it with me I will congratulate him.
And it's like that brother, so good, and that's what you say that you see players who don't bet their nuts, in truth I would either change tables, or I could even report them, because I think that at this point in our life in We have played a lot of
poker hands, I can't imagine that nuts aren't bet on the river.
Greetings brother and good Sunday
