Following on from the thread on cheating (and after reading some of the responses I say forget the flushy for mod campaign I think he's going for a sainthood) heres a moral dilema for you.
Say tomorrow you logged in to stars/crypto/betfair or whichever site is your poison and found when you sat at any cash table due to a glitch in the software you could see all your opponents hole cards. How many of you would log out and send an email to the site or how many of you would go and sit on the biggest table you could buy into and sit with a bunch of scandies?
You don't know how long this glitch will last or if you have ever been done by somebody else who has had the power to see your cards so would you log out or play?

If something looks too good to be true, it probably is.
40% Paranoia 30% morality for a total of 70% beats the 30% greed in me.
I think I'm being scammed, and cash out.

I'd be cashing out as well but would it be before or after you've raked a few pots on the river when you know for certain your hand is good.
Would you not at least try a few games tank and run your roll up before withdrawing and leaving a bit in to keep playing? Mabe withdrawing every hour or two just in case anyone else has the same glitch.

I dont care what you say you would play!
Its so obvious that there is no point lying, which you definately are if you say you wouldnt play a single hand.

No, I'd be feart playing any hands.
If I do win, they may suspend my cashout pending investigation or something.
Also, with thousands playing online, the phonomenom would not be there for just me surely. Some other mug will be milking it for all its worth.
The site is on to it very soon, decides to keep all monies till they sort it out, might never get it back, I dunno.
Every penny I have there is requested to be refunded the same minute I see this.

I just cant wait to see what saint flushy of brighton would do. If you would play a single hand in this scenario you should be ashamed of giving the other guy a hard time in the other thread. Just because its online there is no difference whatsover- its still poker for money and somebody is still getting greased up because you know his hand (for a lot more money online btw). Of course myself and Tikay would still probably manage to have a losing session even if we knew everyones hole cards  |

Ok tank will change the parameters. There is no comeback from the site as this is a one off for 24hrs and untraceable. Your account isn't going to be frozen and no investigation its up to you wether you take advantage or not. You still not playing?

Exactly but it really would depend on who more than where for me. I would never ever rip off my friends, friendly locals or newbies but if there is some rich arrogant bazza or some young (er) showoff i would bleed them dry! But again let me clarify i am in the group of tell them once about it and after that they are fair game! Ok tank will change the parameters. There is no comeback from the site as this is a one off for 24hrs and untraceable. Your account isn't going to be frozen and no investigation its up to you wether you take advantage or not. You still not playing?
He's too paranoid as already mentioned! He's like mel gibson in that conspiracy film! |

I don't buy into this. Two different beasts. I play online for a job, money making is off the upmost importance for a good night. I play live for a laff, good craic at the table is of the upmost importance for a good night. I can wire my moral compass any way I choose for each one seperately. |

How do I know all this? If I can foretell the future like that, I'm cashing out and going to the dog track. |

The example you're looking for, is the next door neighbour is playing in his garden.
On his deckchair, with his wireless laptop, you can see his holecards through your window all day.
He suddenly joins the same single table tourney as you, it begins before you realise it's him......

But in that scenario you can only see one of you opponents hands not all the others |

Many people play live for a living and its important to them to make money live so that argument doesn't wash with me either tank. Its good to see peoples morality can be different online to live and how people can chose to turn their morality on or off whenever it suits them.
Its a hypothetical scenario tank ffs stop being so paranoid about getting your account frozen lol
