Do you consider trapping bad etiquette? (3 Viewers)

[Budha]

If playing against a very aggressive player that consistently over bets the river (all-in or huge bet on the river), do you consider setting a trap bad etiquette?

Example: Limp call several hands (maybe more then you might normally play) and fold against the river bet, to set up when/if you hit the flop/make your hand and then slow play it knowing the guy will push on the river.

I personally feel like that’s poker, nothing wrong with it. But have read that some people would consider that bad etiquette..?

And GO -

Bad etiquette? Dahokay… No. it’s called playing the player. I’ve had very aggressive players in my game and I’ve fleeced them. I’ve also stepped in it.

Welcome to poker kids!

I love my life!

That’s what she said.

Seriously though, slow roll Godfather and you’re in deep.

Hell no. I think you should even blocker-bet him to get him to put more money in.

That’s great play - anyone saying otherwise is not playing poker.

This is like the older people at home games that think check raising is poor ettiquette.

I love spending their money.

One guy I used to know made it illegal to check raise. Seriously?! He's just mad he got trapped. Trapping is part of the game. You're gambling that someone will play back. If they check it down you don't get paid.

Totally legit.
