But he smirked and winked during the interview, so why is it so hard for you to understand that he was lying about telling the truth about his lie?

Amazing interpretation. Where are you getting any of this from?

They're all angles that work when your opponent trusts your word. Stuff you'd expect from Tony G.

I think it's ok to judge DN's actions on their own, without regard for whether Z deserved it or whether the move would have worked on me. I think by saying, "I meant to make it less," DN is hoping to get weak action, but more importantly, he's saying that the following lies are also acceptable:
1. "I'll show if you fold."
2. "I didn't look at my cards."
3. "Let's check it down."
4. "I always chop blind vs blind."
5. "I have 5000 behind."

Such lies might get a penalty. They usually won't. But they're bad for the game. Yes, scummy.

I think it was an intentional misclick. His "surprised" reaction looks forced when he makes that "ahhh" noise and the reaction was too soon after he dropped the chips in to be a genuine surprise. Also, when he calls the shove with AK, he gladly calls with a "my plan worked" sort of demeanor.

Player pushing apparently treated it as a straight math situation and made a resteal. Perhaps Negreanu had some read on the players to act that he thought that kind of play might work.

He had AK, so he doesn't lose much if he just takes down the blinds, so the play doesn't have to work that often.

Seems pretty nervy to try a play like that in a superhighroller. First of all, expecting it to work often. Then, it is televised and is bound to be all over forums like this with people calling it an angleshot.

I haven't revealed whether it was a misclick or not, but that's irrelevant. To those opposed to using a misclick as a tactic against an opponent: so you are saying that it's OK to exploit a misclicking error, but not exploit the person trying to exploit your mistake? That seems pretty unfair!!!

It's not irrelevant. That's what this topic is about.
IMO it's OK to exploit a misclicking error and also OK to exploit the person trying to exploit your mistake, but it would be nice to admit after the hand if it was a misclick (which i doubt) or if you were actually trying to do a fancy play.

you would have told us if it wasn't intentional. i'll give you credit for being honest.

I answered this question in post 86.... I'll try again.

YOU made it impossible for KJ not to "exploit the error."
What is an honest poker player supposed to do in the face of an overbet misclick? Never bluff heads up? That is silly.
I'm not saying KJ made a good bluff. But for you to call him [out for being] exploitative is like saying, "Honest players are supposed to call me with a marginal hand." And that's scummy.

Daniel,

Is your justification for trying to angle someone well it's ok because he had no problem taking advantage of my mistake. (it was your original angle that started it)

Would you try this move again? Any regrets?
Do you feel it's good for the game or does it make us look like con artists?
Have you taken any tips from Doug Lee?

That's one interpretation. Another is: he has a massive stack and isn't forced to risk it all in the hopes that my misclick was legit and that I also didn't have a strong hand. He had a choice to raise, fold, or what most top pros agree was the correct play: call.

Clearly he wouldn't do that unless he thought I made a mistake. Nothing wrong with him exploiting what he perceives as an error on my part, but I also contend that there is nothing wrong with me exploiting him trying to exploit my error.

There is a lot of psychological warfare that takes place in high rollers and it's important to keep things close to the vest. In terms of whether or not I would do that on purpose, again, I want to keep my opponents guessing. So maybe I would, maybe I wouldn't. Next time I misclick, I've done it many times obviously, my opponents will have to just think twice before deciding to exploit my mistake.

So you think Doug Lee's actions are good?

If you think the public wants to have to guess whether the player made a mistake or is a con artist then you're pretty delusional.

If someone else did this you'd call him a scumbucket and this is exactly what's wrong with the game etc.

Not sure why this is even a discussion. Part of the game is deception and Daniel was able to do that on this hand and take advantage of the situation.

I think it was pretty clear you did it on purpose by the way you acted during the hand (seemed like it at least, really felt as though you were trying to over-sell the miss click, if you had miss clicked i think you would have acted as though that was what you ment to do).

I don't think that faking the miss-click is unethical nor do i consider it to be an "angle", I think it can be a good tool to use online and live and is part of the game (no worse than any bluff).

No one, to my knowledge, said that the person trying to exploit your mistake was ethical.

Both of you are weasels.

Don't forget, DNegs, when you are on television, the evidence can be reviewed over and over...

Here is another example of you trying to pull a fast one, and you lied your way out of it to get a ruling in your favor. The expression on your face should have told the floor person that you were lying:

Annette knew that you changed your story, but she decided to mind her own business.

I've never heard of Doug Lee being kicked out of a tourney for his actions...as they aren't technically illegal yet he's universally despised on here.

What's the difference between Doug's and DN's actions? Why should they be treated different.

Deception is ok for the game... as in bet sizing/check raising... but as DN enjoys talking about the "old school" players he'd be the first to admit that this type of move would have given him a Texas sized azz kicking had he done it down there back in the day.

It was a creative play that worked out nicely in the end.

Silverman obv thought it was a legit mis click and that he'd get him to fold out >90% of his open range and thus picking up the 11bb of dead money. Little did he know that he was being lured into a cunning trap.

It's fair game though, and unforced errors should be punished in all forms of competition so there's nothing wrong with exploiting a legit misclick, if Silverman was better at reading people and their intentions he would have noticed the forced act that was being played out in front of him.

Usually when some one mis clicks live they stay quiet and not let on that it's a mis click.

Yeah but would have been fun when someone at the table would start laughing and say he took the wrong chip like here.

I guess its borderline when you make a move like that against a recreational player, who has never seen that before.
A pro in a highroller should know this could be a trick and has to acknowledge this in his decision making.
