Re: My First, And Perhaps Only, Statement About Absolute

I think Sklansky is right. This is EV +/- choice no morals involved. It's not about tolerating cheating, but it's about if you decide to play over there, what's the risk, and what's the reward.
Think of poker some decades ago, you could be robbed and killed in front of the casino. Does this make all poker players of this time immoral?
I thought that 2+2 has higher % of winning players, that is players that play poker to win money (at least some day), and are not recreational fishes, playing poker for fun and socialization.
Of coruse I will play at absolute, and of course I will tell all the fishes in my neibourhood to go play there, and of course to (the very few) winning players I know I'll tell them about the scandal, so they can go and play elsewhere.
Poker, no matter if you play it for paying your bills or just for fun, is competitive game, and the money, apart from any utility, is the way to determine the best player.
I take cheaters as part of the challenge. Just figuring out the risk of such thigns is already a very challenging scientific problem.
