• $1/2 NL cash home game
• Here's the situation. After the flop is dealt and all betting is done on the flop there's about $100 in the pot with three players
• Turn gets dealt
• Player A checks
• Player B (me) checks
• Player C bets $34
• Player A folds
• After player A has folded, I suggest to Player C that we chop either by him pulling back his bet and splitting the pot or me calling and then chopping. Either way it's a chop. Player C agrees, we chop.
• Player A gets pissed and says this isn't allowed. He says you can only discuss a chop on a street before anybody bets anything. He says no matter what happens once a bet is put into the pot on a particular street, there can be no discussion of a chop until the next card is dealt and before anybody acts on that card.

Thoughts?

Its a home game so u technically can do what you want, but that doesnt mean you should... pretty unethical to me.

You can do alot of things in life, it doesn't mean you have to, or you should...

If You and the other player are afraid to play a 1/2 game and chop pots on the turn, then wtf is the point of playing. In a sense there are so many possible ways of colluding if you can split pots on the turn so easily after his fold. U cant bet out, have player A fold, then chop the pot before the other player completes their action. Pretty dick move on your part, and your home games suck imho if this is going down.

sounds like a game i wouldn't want to play

Agree 10000000% with the last four posts.

Its soft play and shouldnt be allowed. If i bet $34 and before calling you are asking for a chop or take my bet back. Im saying no chance, letting you call then shipping the river

Yea, this is weak. I'd avoid posting shit.

I don't think I'd get all bent out of shape about it and start a scene but it definitely would have ticked me off a bit too, and I'm sure many others that were in the same position as Player A would agree. Why you chopping pots on the turn in a $1-$2 home game anyway?

def not right in this spot. If you raised the turn bet, and player C flatted, then there was a bet on the river; if you made the deal then it would be a little different. You have to at least flat the $34 before it is techinally heads up (in a limit game the 4 bet cap would still stand for the turn action).

you and player C are douchebags for doing this. Play the fucking hand

agree. you can do stupid shit like run it twice or 4 times or chop if it's an all in with cards to come but id never play a game which allowed stupid shit like what you did. just begs people to cheat.

UTG blind raised $75 pre. MO flats, I make it 150 or something with AQ , blind raiser flats me blind and the other guy decides to fold.
So there's like 375 in the middle here and it flops AAK. Checked to me and I put out $200. Guy finally checks his cards and is taking a little time and says (before calling or folding) "hey, I'm happy to do some business on this- if I call uyou agre to check it down? I'll do whatever business you want"

Noone objected. Dealer didn't say anything. They would hav e let us make that deal. IDK. maybe it is different since we were HU on the flop? Or per haps the dealer was just deferring and not getting in the middle.

That said, I think OP shouldn't hav been making that move while the other guy was still waiting to act after the 3rd guy got squeezed.

Sick 37.5x open raise

if i was the owner of the house, i would kick you two fools out right away. first for playing like a bunch of pussies. wtf chop 1/2? lol
second, its a home game so most often it should be more friendly. why the hell would you do this to other player. i would punch ya in the face and leave. ya should apologize to that player for doing such stupid shietttttt. it aints cool jerome

So who got the better deal by checking it down? I am assuming he shows AJ cause are there many players offering this deal when ahead?

EDIT : almost forgot to say the chopping after squeezing a player out is a dick move and you should stop giving each other hand jobs under the table

Completly unethical in any poker game IMO.

Total angle shoot by the other guy I agree. That's why I posted it. As it turned out I said no deal and he DID call.

I shoved the blank turn and bc of image he almost called me with KQ.
