If this was a casino and the dealer allowed the bet then a ruling has already been made. The guy did not check.
If this was a home game and he throws out a bet, then clearly he didn't check either.
Either way Jacen is trying to turn his 'friend' into a scumbag poker lawyer. IMHO these idiots ruin the game arguing over stupid points of law that take away from the spirit and inherent sportsmanship and friendliness of the game.
If anyone truly believes that UTG+1 was trying to angle and/or his 'friend' somehow gave away some kind of tell that UTG+1 was able to immediately pick up on and somehow insta bet without it being instantly blindingly obvious that he was clearly cheating then UTG+1 is wasting his time at poker and needs to instantly run for Premier of Ontario.
I'm not arguing or wanting to. Defensive maybe. You've commented several times on the thread and I keep replying adding more information that I guess could of been included in the OP.
I want to fold too. Perhaps a self given penalty walk away from the table for an orbit.
I get zero out if this forum, it wastes time when I spend time here during work hours. I probably should walk way from the table permanently not just an orbit. I'm tempted to ask milo if I can withdraw from DP as the forum is not good for me.
I see no reason to walk away from the forum or the DP for that matter, but that's your personal choice to make. Personally, if you're basing that decision on this thread alone, I think that's blowing things out of proportion.
This thread turned into a bit of a train wreck and should probably be locked up as nothing good appears to be coming of it. It just appeared you were asking a question, presented a situation, then asked for peoples thoughts on the situation. People seemed to feel pretty strongly in their opinions, yourself included. I could be wrong, and if I am then I'm wrong but it looks like you were just wanting people to agree with you. Just my opinion and if I'm wrong, then c'est la vie and I apologize.
Walking away from the DP is your choice, but in my opinion it was a commitment with an already low count of managers. Again, your choice.
I can lock this thread up if you wish as you are the OP.

No worries. I wouldn't be walking away from forum based on this thread alone. Any thread I've started which isn't many seems to go the same way. If I start a thread it's usually over something potentially controversial.
The regulars are who they are and act how they do. It often seems many resort to bashing. Sometimes it's hard to not gaf. So I ask myself why bother. And it's difficult to come up with a pro for the forum. No one is even dying in DP. Yet.
Maybe I'll start a thread we can all agree on.... I'm in the BB with 10 BBs. Folded around. SB goes all in with 15bb. We look down at KK. SB says he has AA. Fold right?
