[Strong Play]

I agree with you Bushy, it's often hard to strike the happy medium in these sorts of situations. I think in this particular situation you did the right thing. Whilst there is some decent money involved and players want to win just as badly as pros, it's a pub poker tournament; and people who play pub poker tournaments for the most part are morons who seem all to happy to donk off their entire stack with no hand (only to tell you afterwards they made the correct play). These sorts of people want a tournament in a friendly atmosphere and aren't going to be too concerned about adherence to every rule in the book if it means everyone having a good time and the game being played in a good spirit. More importantly, as a business proprietor, it's your job to give them exactly that.Any other situation, kudos to you sir, the straight flush you didn't realise you were holding is good... PAY THE MAN.
