Poker Etiquette question for all the house game players
I do tend to play a descent amount of poker but almost totally online on Pokerstars, with play money. So a little while back I was at a buddies house playing a tournament only 8 players blinds going up every 15minutes it went quick but at one point i got into a hand and felt like another player at the table not involved in the hand had a direct outcome to the hand. so the cards are dealt out I've got 9s 9c, bets are made. The flop comes up 5d Kh Jh, so I make a bet of $150 (blinds where 24/50 at this point) and 1 player calls the turn comes up Jc I bet another $300, at this point the other player is trying to figure out my bet but says outloud he thinks I have him. I think he's getting ready to fold when the player not in the hand starts telling him to think it out, think of what I would have in comparision to me. The player in hand thinks about it, puts a few chips on top of his cards and thinks a bit more, takes them off, by this point I figure I've got it he's going to fold, the player not in the hands asks what he he thinks, and says a few things I'm not really paying attention too, so the guy I'm playing with thinks a bit longer than re-raises me to almost all in, I think I'd have like $75 in chips if I call, so realizing he's probably holding a king I fold myself.
the question being if you've read all of this, I am right for being annoyed at the player who wasn't in the hand, because I feel he talked the other guy into playing it when I was sure he was going to fold
