I like this approach. It gives the guy a chance to fix the problem and then tells you all you need to know about him if he refuses to cooperate.

Instead of reaction to the initial post with my "hell YES" reply and THEN reading....

but, if you can't tilt every once in a while, what's poker for?

If his reply wasn't there, would I have cooled out enough to adjust mine?

Who knows?

It doesn't matter how good the guy is for the game if he's shorting the pot whenever he feels like it.

You should absolutely speak up. Your opponents relative fishiness should have nothing to do with your morality. Whether he purposely cheated or if it was an honest mistake, he still stole $15 out of his opponents pocket.

"I think i did something wrong."

I don't. No one is ever obligated to talk at a public poker table. That's one of the most beautiful and fairest things about it.

I restacked a bunch of chips in a home game tourney that no longer belonged to me by accident on Sunday. They were near my stack and I did it without thinking - I guess I vaguely thought they were just overspill from my stack fromwhen I'd been breaking it to bet. To make matters worse, later on I went all-in with 2 kings and was called by A9. I proceeded to hurriedly deal out saying "no ace!", and the flop came with a beautful king on it. Unfortunately, someone pointed out that a. I wasn't the dealer, b. the flop king was the same as one of my pocket kings, and c. I was using the wrong deck! We have several decks in play to speed thing up and I had been shuffling for the next deal, and in my impatience automatically started to deal the flop. Now THAT's really embarassing (especially as I didn't know the host very well). When the real flop was dealt out it of course contained the dreaded ace. In my defence, I was very tired and hungover - too hungover really to have been playing in the first place.

Read this a while ago....

Winston Churchill was at a very fancy dinner party. He noticed another guest put one of the gold salt shakers into her handbag. Churchill then picked up the gold pepper mill and put it into his jacket pocket, while the woman was watching.

He then turned to her and said, "Oh my, I think that the host saw us. We had better put them both back."
