Bonomo said it was bad form, offered to bet it was bad form, then called the floor to clarify. The reason being they could be colluding vs fish.
outside of the collusion, you could make another argument that ICM self-preservation is a thing and it could be in koon's interest for negreanu to be folding vs koon's shove range with hands like AK or JJ. the comfort in the statement of "i dont have sixes this time", idk, clearly up for debate on how relevant it is. some people would say it matters zero. others might be like, well hey, i dont think he's ever gonna say this if he's cold piling A4s, so maybe I can call one notch tighter in my range. who knows.
this hurts badziakouski's equity vs a scenario where koon shoves and says nothing. how much? perhaps the value of a pokerGO subscription.
can obv see why koon peeved, because to newbies koon is being accused of being shady and he doesn't want that stench on him.
but i agree with bonomo, a man got to have a code.
