No way. Sure, some folks mean it earnestly, but when I say it, I'm trying to encourage others. It works beauuuutifully in drunken home games. Oh boy oh boy oh boy.

On this note, when the player is sitting quietly and makes no sign of folding (instead of telegraphing like most 1/2 players), and then asks if it's his turn to act, and then carefully bets...
That's usually a big hand.
People don't care about screwing up the action if they're folding anyway. Some of them are proud of it. (Yesterday someone said, "Yeah, I know I folded out of turn, but I didn't like my cards, so I don't care.") Similarly, when they're drawing, they want their out-of-turn calls to encourage more calls. So when a 1/2 or 2/5 player is being fastidious, he has a huge interest in this pot.

Had a huge example of this one last night. I understand trying to save face, but this guy took it to a new level. He said he knew his opponent had a straight
as he was calling the bet, then went on and on afterwards about how he knew it, that's why he said he knew it, and he was just "keeping him honest." This went on for several hands, even though nobody else was even talking about it. I smiled and agreed with his logic, of course.

Oy. It's even worse at blackjack or baccarat, when someone shows up with $1k in 20s. I feel sad for the person.
