[ QUOTE ] If he wants to gamble, he should be sticking to the slots or blackjack where his odds aren't so poor. [/ QUOTE ] Now I KNOW you are retarded... -ZEN [/ QUOTE ] Is that right? In which game does he have a better shot, at a slot with 98% payout, blackjack where he has less than a 1% disadvantage if he plays correctly, or a poker table full of sharks? Think before you speak, jackass. |

I guess that it depends on how you see your role at the table.
If you are there to have fun and sometimes make some money on the side, then this is recreation for you and being a sport may have some priority so you feel good about what you are doing. If you are doing this as your main income, then you are a pro and it is your job to take every dime that you can at the table. It has been said that it is a crime to every let a sucker walk away with anything, even bus fare. If you feel bad about it later, you can always loan him some money for a cab or whatever. It sounds like the guy had money and was looking to blow some of it during his vacation. No reason not to accomodate him as much as possible. My take on it, anyway. Shauna |

I feel kind of bad taking money from someone who clearly has a gambling problem or is hurting themselves by playing in the game. This happened to me playing 3/6 about a week ago; the guy sitting next to me was clearly working-class and mentioned that he had just lost $300 or $400 and was supposed to have picked up his kids 15 minutes ago. That being said, I didn't hesitate to relieve him of as many chips as I possibly could. I just felt like I was selling him rope I knew he would hang himself with.

I decided awhile ago I wouldn't feel bad for others while playing poker. Including taking their money, monster suckouts, or any other situation. I can manage myself just fine, if they can't then it's their problem.

You didn't take the rent money from a welfare mom or Social Security money from a senior citizen. You won money from a gambler who wanted to get heads up with you. No need to feel guilty. I doubt anyone in the Big Game feels guilty after taking some whale's money.
If you have a moral problem taking a certain person's chips, then I suggest you find another table. It is a distraction you do not need. |

I think a lot of questions in this forum can be answered by:
do whatever makes you feel best. Me personally, I'm ok with it |

Sometimes I do for a brief moment. Then I think about all the suckouts I've dealt with and how the guy was probably his laughing his ass off when he sucked out on my set in a 20BB pot.
I can see feeling guilty about taking someone's money if they have a problem. But if they're gambling I assume they're an adult. And if they're an adult they should be able to deal with their problems as one. If I've got a problem I'm expected to deal with it like an adult, I don't see why I'd expect any less of someone else. To the OP: I don't get how you can possibly feel guilty about taking someone's money who just won big and is on vacation with his wife. The guy is doing fine. If you take his money now you're probably doing him a favor. He'll realize he isn't capable of beating the game as is a little quicker. |

Surely I would not have checked the river. He sat down to play so I ll play him as good as I can. If there are any concerns, the fact that he won the money by winning a jackpot makes it even so much easier.
He isnt losing money he needs so I wouldnt even think about it. |
