Very fuzzy.

Let me just say this. If you win a big pot and take the money you just won off the table in order to lock in your win, that is what I'm saying is unethical. Since it's generally hard or impossible to achieve this online, many people "hit & run" in order to achieve the same effect. They come to a table, win a pot and then leave. But I believe that the reason they do this is the same reason why live players rathole, and therefore the hit & run is also unethical.

What makes it unethical is not the length of time you keep your just-won money in play. It is by the fact that you are taking the money off the table in order to make in inaccessible to your opponents. Which means that if you were just about to quit for the day anyway and win a huge pot, it's not unethical to go ahead and quit when you were planning on quitting. (I usually wait one more orbit, but that's admittedly stupid)

How's that for clouding the waters? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
