Hi All
Just want to get opinions about the following:

I was playing in one of the Prima Pokers 3k free roll and was holding my own when after folding a hand I noticed that the short stacked player to my left moved all in. The next to players to his left folded, and I figured he was going to take the pot down.

Then it comes to the finally two players, and Player A chats to Player B "Check it out?" as the call was only 300 at the time and these two happened to be Chip leaders, they called, and then proceeded to check out the rest of the Hand.

I forget the exact hand that won, but it only one with the help of the river (I think it was a high pair with ace kicker)

But my point is.... is this Fair?? Is it ok to sit and check someone out of the Game? Not being the most experienced player I thought that this was a pretty low move, as well as being very arrogant. Am I wrong? Is is this a accepted practice?

Youre right its wrong. Fair enough if they both check it down in silence but to make a deal is not acceptable. See what would happen if they did that in a B & M.
