I'm curious what people think of this. Daniel Negreanu is taking some heat for his actions here.
Basically he is being accused of faking accidentally putting too big of a raise into the pot, in order to get his opponent to
undervalue his hand. His opponent pushes all-in to take advantage of Daniel's "mistake." Daniel shows AK and doubles up.
Daniel is coy after the hand, and doesn't reveal if he did it on purpose or not.
Part of me thinks this is just good deceptive poker, and is part of the game - but I don't play enough live poker to know
if this is bad etiquette and is frowned upon.
The hand starts at 21:20, and there is some commentary at the 26:45 mark.
