Immoral Cheater…… Really?

[ QUOTE ]


well, just to note i don't consider it cheating to try to take advantage of the tech problem, i just don't do it myself. most players that play above microstakes don't either in my experience. i'd consider it akin to chopping the blinds w/a bad hand and then refusing to chop them the next time when you like your hand. it's within the rules, but not within the sporting conduct that we should be able to expect from each other.

I agree with this post -- the entire post, and not just the snippet I quoted -- so much that it got me out of my lurking mode to say so. :-)

I voted in the minority on this. I wouldn't expect anyone else to wait on me, but it's what I would do. +Life EV indeed.

also, i believe the above quoted passage is waaaay extreme. say you're playing a guy headsup in a WSOP tourney and someone tells him his daughter just got in a horrible car accident and might be dying. he asks if you'll reschedule. do you respond "no," which is "within the rules"? do you call time on him so he only has a minute to act?

If my hypothetical daughter was in a terrible car accident, god forbid, while I am playing heads up at the WSOP, I beleive the last thing on my mind would be the game.

The tournament directors have final say in this matter and I'm sure they would pause the tournament in such an extreme example.
