Since this is my first post, I was wondering what others thought about this dilemma:I was playing in a "freeroll" tourney this afternoon (live game) that had some pretty good prizes. i.e. 50" plasma tv, lawn/garden tractor, etc. etc.10 spots paid out of 100.Blinds are 100-200 I've got about 1,250.I'm in the big blind w/two black fives.I get two callers one of them being the ultra aggressive guy on my left.Flop jh 5h 4d.I check my set hoping aggressive guy bets. I get my wish, I end up coming over the top and pushing. He calls.turn 7hriver 8hOpponent turns over ah jd for the flush.Dealer pushes me the pot as I'm getting ready to go as he must have thought my set of fives won. I said that no his hand was the winner, everyone else at the table agreed with the dealer (he continued to push me the pot.) I finally got up and actually touched the cards to show the table.Did I do the right thing???

Yes.

[showstopper24]

yes but most people wouldn't have

You did the right thing. The player with the flush should have said something too.You lost the hand, but you're the real winner. Congratulations.

The guy didn't know he had the flush.

Every time you cut the grass with your new lawn tractor, you would have felt crappy instead of jubilant.

Okay, i know i'm evil, but if dude with the flush doesn't say anything about it, i'm not gonna. I've sat at a table in a tourney and watched the dealer push the chips to one guy in what should have been a split pot...as far as i'm concerned when you're at the table it's part of the game...you have to claim your winnings.

Newbs are idiots that overplay their small pairs... Two people already limp in for 200 bucks.. an 800 raise into a 600 dollar pot, three handed, they prolly both have him out chip'd considerably and a chance to knock out another guy will prolly end up both calling and checking it down.. so his crappy pair of 5's will go up against 4 over cards... yeah great play. but whatever dude... You play your way, I'll play mine.

Unless you are playing at a Special Olympics table, I'll say this is damn near impossible.
