I appriciate what you're saying, but poker is a game based on ethics.

Where did you get this crazy idea? Poker is based on bluffing. That is why these situations come up. If you play the game trying to get your opponent to fold the winner during the hand, how far of a stretch is it to get him to fold the winner after the hand?

I believe its two plus twos own Dr. Al that has repeated many times that poker is a predatory game. My comments about giving 20:1 were tongue in cheek but the suppostion that anywhere near 100% of pros would take the "high road" was way off as has been demonstrated many many times in the B&M forum.
One last note for this thread, many of you would do well to follow CSC's example by showing some tact and respect for people who have differing opinions and motivations. It's classy and its smart, rampantly insulting people who have differing opinions than you isnt moral, its childish and irritating.
