Short-Changing Another Player...
Hey all.
Good weekend at the 'Woods! I had been playing at this table for about 20 minutes when a player came to fill a seat. He produced a C note and the guy next to him (a hustler-type player) proceeded to stack out chips for him (the dealer was in a hand, and player-player chip buying is generally allowed). I see he gives the guy 2 stacks of yellow and a half stack of yellow...however the 2 stacks are of 15 and not 20. He says "count it and make sure it's right" which the player half smiles and just leaves them in front of him. I glared at the hustler but said nothing... would you? My thought was...you DID warn him.... -ZEN

Yeah, I would've said something; it could've been an honest mistake. If it's not, even more reason not to let hustler get away with it.

Re: Short-Changing Another Player...
If it was an honest mistake, both parties will be glad that you point it out. If it wasn't an honest mistake, the only person who will be disappointed is a "hustler".
I'd definitely let the guy know that his stacks are off. If you want to look at it in a more self-centered way, just ask yourself if you really want that tourist losing 1/4 of his money to the hustler before he even plays a hand. Is that good for you?

You see someone being cheated and you decide not to say anything. You feel proud? You stand up and announce this to your friends? You tell your family? You think you should get a medal for minding your own business? Kitty Genovese. Ooops. Forgot. There is no "Ethics" forum on this board.

Kitty Genovese. [/ QUOTE ] This made me laugh. The "hustler" telling his victim to count the chips to make sure they're right would be something like Kitty Genovese' rapist saying, "Hey, do you mind if I rape you?" Do you see how that comparision might be a little overboard?

Since I was alluding to the witnesses and not the two people directly involved, what's your point? OP showed the same "don't get involved" mentality as those people in the apartments above. Overboard? Yes.
