Well in all fairness to him and his unethical antics that happen over and over I feel bad for him... While he is competent he plays for real as in he tries to win to make money and he is a big spot in the game IMO tho not all may agree... that was a terrible game all decent regulars and I moved to his left bc he was the best spot so I never am anything but cheerful and friendly to him at the table...
Given the way the hand went down it didn't bother me much... he ended up giving me back 220 (after everyone but me yelled at him) out of an 1100 or so pot we agreed to chop prior to the river... it was dishonest, yes, but i got it in bad; he had the one hand that had me crushed after i isolated his 300 shove into a 500 multiway pot w a "15 out draw" so it was 300 to win 800+ for me and I was very confident everyone else would fold... yet he still showed me his hand for top pair and the same backdoor flush draw and offered a chop... I had like <15% equity w only 6 outs robin did not wait to deal the river but it took me less time to agree to the chop... so I actually got more than my equity share back from him. He never saw my hand or knew what I had he made a terrrrrrrrible deal and obviously I would have never agreed if he showed me a naked made hand or anything but a hand that had my draw dominated.
That being said... He should have said "you wanna chop if you win" but I know what is involved w playing in a game w him. one guy actually got up and left so I understand if you wouldn't want to sit with him but as I said I do this for a living and IMO he's good for the game... be nice to him there's more than one reason to take the high road
