I'm just very libertarian and don't believe that anyone really has a place to be criticizing anyone else's morals. That's why things like this get to me. He didn't break the law, so everyone should get off his case.

No comment on the original $100 over-changing issue, but I find the poker and morality debate intriguing.
Metetron, you've had some interesting stuff to say in this thread, but I couldn't get past the comment above. Wouldn't you agree that you've engaged in some circular reasoning here? On the one hand you put forward a position on morality that basically denies it any validity as an area for debate (i.e., no-one can say anything reasonable about anyone else's moral standards). This is a fairly nihilistic position to take, but OK.
Then two sentences later, you use the word "should". If you really believe in your own position, you flat out aren't allowed to use evaluative words like "should" at the risk of being absurd.
