Here is a thought, do you think gambling (not poker playing)  is in the genes, blood or inherited or a gene malfunction!  If it is hereditry then i'm screwed! 

I'm no scientist, but I'm sure I recall hearing something about there being a gene based around gambling/addiction.

So I guess it's hereditry. Looking at your family though, I suppose you already knew this.


poor kev.

The only thing hereditary in my family is our inherent grumpyness

your post at first said "has Tikay flipped", this quickly became "poor Kev" and no sign of an edit

On a serious note though. If they'd have been the one's starving and just married, and you were aware of that, would you still be happy taking their money just because they agreed to gamble?

I wasn't starving, and if I had been, they would have been the first to offer me help

Gambling and trading is very common amongst Gypsies and I was considered to be a grown man and fair game, you are expected to learn by your mistakes

Now that I'm older (and softer) would probably offer them something back if the situation was reversed, but I wouldn't play again

It's rare for someone of your age to be concerned though

unintentional though.

Ooh-er - I DID edit my last post, & it don't say I did.

A mystery - I'll get the software peeps on the case tomorrow. We DO need to be able to see when posts have been edited, & by whom.

Well spotted ifm.

Very interesting topic snoopy and brings up some interesting moral issues. Im of the belief that everyone playing poker is a grown adult and therefore has to be responisble for their decisions in life. In poker we all put down our money on the table and say how much we are prepared to risk. Therefore that money is now up for grabs and to be honest within the rules of the game i want as much of that money as possibly. In actual i would feel i would be cheating people if in was going easy on them, i certainly wouldn't appreciate it from someone else.

I have just been playing a NL 200 game online in which i made a bit of money off one bloke who played a hand pretty badly slowplaying a nut flush and letting me house up on the river and paying me off. He admitted afterwards that he played the hand bad and that financially he had blown alot of money he couldn't afford to blow tonight. I must admit i felt a touch sorry for him but said that is the nature of the game. Which i firmly believe, there is no way i wouldn't have re raised on the river if i thought he was broke or not, this is a game i play to be competitive/ make money and im not going soft on anyone.

Now if it is a close friend/family who i know is on the poverty line i might refuse to sit down with them if they insist on playing as i don't want to be put in that situation. I would do my damndest to stop them playing in the first place beforehand obviously.
