Moral Dillemma
 

k so i'm chillin at my computer yesterday when i get an msn message from my buddy

Buddy:
yo dude wanna play poker tonight? me and some co-workers are gonna play, should be juicy...they're all total fish

TheCroShow:
yeah man i was just sittin around watching the paint dry, when is the game?

Buddy:
i'll pick you up after work and we go straight there.

So i was doing nothing and agreed to go and play poker with his buddies. 3 hours later I'm $100 richer in a SNG style tourney. (BIG WINNAR!)

now am i obliged to give my buddy a cut? maybe give him back his buy-in? what's the etiquette here? all has been said and done, i wanna know other opinions. in case you're wondering, they invited me to their next game.

you won, the money is yours.

Buy your friend a beer or two in the way of thanks, but its your winnings. Splitting with him smells too much of collusion in my book (not saying you were).

Re: Moral Dillemma
 

Definately your bank man! A beer or 2 is thanks enough

Re: Moral Dillemma
 

I agree with the others -- no kickbacks!

Unless he backs you (gives you the money to buy in with), then you don't owe him anything except a thank you.

$100 isn't that much to begin with [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. Anyways a beer or two sounds suffice enough.

Re: Moral Dillemma
 

just wondering that's all. i didn't hook him up with anything back. also figured a couple beers would suffice or w/e. sadly, $100 is quite a bit to a student right now...lol

Definitely not! But you should cut him in on the next fishy game you run across, IMO.

Unless, of course, he was going to offset your losses [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].
