As much as I find it retarded that two Poker Pros are diddling on a golf course wagering for money most people won't see in a lifetime, I find it more retarded that so many people have so much to say about a bet between two guys.

Nobody besides the fan boys gives a [censored] about the bet or the individuals concerned. People are talking about the ethical dilemmas involved. Given that ethical dilemmas is a subject that has fascinated philosophers since the days of Plato and before, it's hardly surprising that they continue to challenge us.

Fair enough....I personally don't see any ethical dilemas in this specific situation....they are both hustlers hustling each other. We will see who comes out on top.

Horrible analogy, you weren't out mugging someone elses wallet when they mugged yours.



A guy takes my wallet, so I chain him up in my basement and torture him until he eventually dies. I don't see the dilemma, we were both criminals victimizing each other, we saw who came out on top.

Not claiming this is a perfect analogy [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img], but it does illustrate the problem with reducing it to such a superficial, dismissive description. Clearly there are issues here besides 'two hustlers hustling each other.' The acts of the two parties are not the same.
