is this immoral

So I just played a big mtt and I saw this happen two times that I noticed, once in my favor.

On the river villian makes a bet, and I tank for a minute or two. I eventual call, and the guy flips over the winning hand.

Now when I called, all I said was call and didn't put in the chips. When I lost the dealer just pushed the pot towards the villian and nobody said anything about the chips I should have put in on the river.

Do you tell anyone? I of course didn't...just wanted to see what others thought?

Of course it's immoral. If you think it isn't then you're worshiping a false god, and it's probably money and/or yourself.

Re: is this immoral

I guess the better question is, have any of you seen this happen before? I'm pretty sure someone else at the table noticed because I saw him looking at me after it.

Re: is this immoral

Sounds like a lol bad place to play. It is clearly the dealer's responsibility. I can see a newbie not knowing, but several from the same MTT means it is a house problem like lack of training. Caveat Emptor baby!

Amoral, not immoral. OP, what was your plan in the event you were ousted by the knowing observer?
