morality in poker

Even if there were no comebacks, I couldnt do this.

If you were at a party of a friend of a friend, you dont know the person, and you see money lying out, would you just take it? Whats the difference between what your proposing and blatant stealing?

the situation so stupidly hypothetical, it will never get a straight answer, simply i do not know what would happen because the situation is so unlikley i cannot know what my reaction will be.

I agree, its like asking Ariston how he would react if he ever won a live comp ....

Get everyone to form an orderly queue of course....

Interesting question, in the live situation I would be scrupulously honest, online I'd be hitting it for every thin dime I could squeek out of it. That would be totally hypocritical if you didn't take into account that it's purely a consequence of the monkeysphere

Although i would also look to Tanks post, as being the ultimate pessimist that i am i would consider the fact that somethings wrong and its a con of some sort.

as the question is hypothetical and the parameters changed then what if this table contained 2,3 or 4 peple you are aquainted with is it still ok or is it just ok to take money from people you dont know?

I do not think this is relavent, as at a poker table, you play the same against someone who know as to someone you dont know.

I tend to play different against people i know, if i know them to be loose then i change my game, if they are tight again i change my game.


As for the question in hand, it would never happen, but if it did i would be very suspect that something dodgy is going on, however i have to admit that would be what stops me nicking as much as i could, not the sense i am doing something wrong.
