Default Re: Moral dilemma? (When a low-limit fish challenges you HU)

Maybe the guy pegged you as a solid player (or an easy mark [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]) and just wanted to gain some experience playing at a low limit. I can see refusing to play because the stakes were small and weren't worth your time.

Refusing to play him on moral grounds shows an alarming bit of hubris on your part. I have found that I learn a lot from playing against lesser players and it has nothing to do with taking their money (or watching them take my money [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img])

I don't know you and we don't post in the same strategy forums, so this may be off-base and perhaps harsh (but with the best of intentions), but I will say that humility is one trait that a successful player needs. I suck at poker and try to repeat this at least 5 times a session (usually not hard considering the way I play).
