Well, Jerry...as long as B and C are allowed to play, you can never feel that the game is clean. They got away with cheating. They will do it again when suspicion dies down. If I am you...I would not play in the game.

They knew that Player A gave them extra chips. I don't for one second buy the story that Player A did it without their knowledge. If these guys get a free pass, then who else gets one? I would raise the issue with the host, and if he doesn't ban these guys, then I would let him know why you are finding a new game. When it comes to home games, or leagues, game integrity is everything. If it is questionable, then any smart player avoids the game like the plague. If you have to question the integrity of the game, it will make your playing experience less enjoyable. And that's why you play...for fun, right?

I'd continue to let him play if I felt o had an edge over him lol it sounds like a fairly weak attempt at cheating. You just have to keep an eye on him in the future and definitely let him know that next time he cheats it will result in a ban.

Definitely have an edge over B and C.

Haha, I hope you have an edge on a 14 yr old. In all seriousness don't see how they can be allowed to play again, unless your game is too small to run without B and C, and in that case you're probably better off recruiting new people anyways. Obviously Player A cannot be allowed back ever, and B probably shouldn't be either. Feel bad for C considering he likely didn't know and even if he did was just following in his dad's footsteps.

I used to have a friend who was shady. He was the organizer of a 6 month tournament series with the all of rebuy money going to a final tournament. After the first 2 tournaments he told everyone how much was in the "pool" for the end. After that I think he literally was spending the money after each game. When it came time to schedule the final game he was giving excuses and putting it off. Right after he received a settlement from a car accident he was in -- the game was scheduled. He was a good friend of mine and I can't stand to be around someone like that.
