The ethics of seeing a player's cards

By the way, in the instance of this one woman who I originally posted about, I could offer more evidence for why I truly believe it's a physical problem with her size and not her eyesight, but then I'm sure I'll be accused again of making fun of people, so I'm just going to drop the whole thing.

For those who offered thoughtful, helpful suggestions, thanks, I'll take them into consideration.

Seriously though, the players are so bad in Booneville, MO, stuff like this happens all the time. I agree with the "giving one warning" suggested by the poster above as an ethical way to proceed. I think barring something really ridiculous the plus sized player could come up with a system for looking at her hole cards if she decides to make the effort. If the other players in the game are so horribly unobservant that the don't recoginize that you are being given a huge advantage, too bad for them. It's Booneville baby. Start humming circus music at the table like I do.
