"After you accept his "gift", could you look him in the eye next time you break him with a 2-outer, knowing full well that you aren't going to reciprocate his generosity?"

Very easily if I did not ask him for the money, which I never would.

If the guy even hinted back to you that he wants it back I'd send it to him. I mean you never asked for it and it was a gift.

I'd have sent back the $$ and called it even.

But i don't condemn anyone for keeping it too.


The fact that you're asking this question means that it's eating at you. Is that worth a measly $1200?

The responses are kind of surprising. I expected them to be along the lines of "you are the dumbest person alive if you even consider sending the $ back".

Anyway, he asked for the $1200 back because he wanted to play some more with me. I was in a really good mood so I sent it back and won it back 5 min later minus maybe $8 in rake.

Oh, if he asks for it back, I'd probably give it back. No way I give it back unprovoked though.

are kinda besides the point of the thread. Obviously you are going to do whatever makes YOU personally comfortable, but it is interesting to see others' lines of reasoning.
