since this is ALL about ethics/philosophy/etc - and also poker..
I've been having rapid disagreement with several people on this site - there seems to be two schools of thought right now - 1. - Play poker, but be a good person - don't cheat, be moral, don't fart in other people's faces when getting up from the table, etc, etc... 2. - Play poker and try to put everyone on tilt by being the biggest douchebag you can be - this includes things like rubbing it in, claiming you "outplayed" someone when you spiked a two outer, telling someone "nh" when they fold the pot to you - so what are the ethics of the situation? (I'm really angling for David S. to answer this one) - is there a point where our conduct is becoming harmful to the game? - is ANYTHING that allows us to get another 1/2 BB an hr justified, since the goal of playing poker is to make money? or is the poker world and the 2+2 forums really just full of douchebags with no moral compass whatsoever? just curious - I'd like to see some serious discussion on this - obviously, if being a dickhead is ethical because the point is to make money, then so is cheating, bots, collusion, because, after all, you're just trying to make money, right?
