One last thought I had for BluffThis and all the curtains et al bashers. I find it *more* telling that ZJ did go to curtains as something of an ethical guide. Curtains has never shown anything in the hundreds of posts I've read by him to be anything other than an extremely honest poker player and upstanding citizen. I would probably go to him as well if I had some ethical quandry about poker.

Now if I thought curtains was going to rat me out, even for just bringing up the idea (not that I have one - no inferences plz), forget it. Lori's point, and some others, is that when someone comes to you in confidence with a potential misdeed, it's a little different than stumbling across one from a complete stranger. It's *sort of* like the patient-client privelege that when exists you're the psychiatrist and the patient confides something in you. The reason psychiatrists can't rat out anything other than the worst offenses, is that if they did, there would be no psychiatrists. These people wouldn't even try to get help, and they and society would be the worse off for it.

I'm not saying this is completely analagous to a patient/psychiatrist situation. I'm just saying there are some elements of it. If young, impressionable poker players can't come to the elder statesman with these kinds of quandries--w/o fear of getting instantly ratted out--then they'll probably just keep it all bottled up inside where the rationalizations can really flourish. Can you see how this would be bad for poker as a whole? At lease ZJ tried to seek out some guidance, I give him credit for that. But he chose not to listen to it, and for that he deserves everything he's getting.


As an aside, I know I'm being melodramatic on this. But I really am a little nervous this will turn him over to the dark side for good, and that reaching out to curtains was one of the last attempts at taking the high road. ZJ is a smart dude, just think if he decided to become completely evil? From his POV we all probably just went from being his biggest fanboys to turning on him on a dime. Lots of motivation and fuel to rationalize just about anythingthere. Muha muah MUHAHAHHAHAHA!!!

Not sure if any of the shaniac apologists noticed
THIS BLOG ENTRY but it appears shaniac was able to buy into this tournament thirteen (13) times. That's a lot more than six (6) when you think about it. I guess this stuff goes on in live poker too, but since there is no watchdog community as with online, people like shaniac get a walk and are allowed to buy into a tournament over and over. Disgraceful.
