unfair? unethical?
WHATEVER IT TAKES to get the money is ethical in this game. I think there are too many methicals (apologies to Madea). If granny shows me her hole cards at the casino, Im going to stack her. If I know your ROI is 10% using the technological means at my disposal, Im not going to sit you. And just to make it fair, I hope you stack me if I show you my hole cards at the casino, and I hope you make whatever decisions are in YOUR best financial interest when deciding whether to sit me or not. That's fair, that's ethical, and thats what it takes to get the money.
Although I will say in a live game someone mucked their cards when they should have won the main pot and I voluntarily stacked off $83 to them even though the pot had already been shoved my way because I liked him, he's a nice guy, and there was no doubt he had the superior hand, and he was drinking and I wanted to earn it later on the old fashioned way, which I did. So sometimes I'm a softy. But usually not.
