ethical question, don't know where to put it but here it goes.

okay, a little long, please bear with me.

settings, nl100

me and my roommate were both playing (different tables of course, cuz the same IP, he plays FR and I play 6man), and he told me to play for him when he needed to go to the bathroom. So I took over.

One hand happened, another friend of mine in California(another nl 100 FR reg) open raised, and i cold called, flop T83 rag, he bet, i raised, he 3bet, i shoved. and he had set of 10s. (nothing's wrong here, just a bad play)

two days later, he posted this hand on the forum I run (in Chinese so too bad you guys won't be able to read), and told everybody that he felt being taken advantage of and felt he's sold out by me(wtf!?).

The reason? he said I said don't tangle with friends on the same table but I did in that hand(only hand when my roommate went to the bathroom). He said I outplayed him a lot (I think at this point, he was suspecting that my roommate's account is also mine, multiaccounting he said) cuz the play made by my roommate's account looks like from someone who knows him inside out. That being said, only who knows him well would pull that kinda move. (obv my roommate is a better nl100 FR reg than he does, according to all the hh I saw from my roommate's database after this thing happened)

I told him, I teach my roommate how to play, of course his style is like me, what are you talking about, it's poker, plus I just lost my entire 100 stack to you when I pulled the dumb move. I don't know why you take this hand so personally. He's like, cuz you were trying to win money from me behind your roommate's sn when your roommate was in the bathroom, you were using ur understanding about me to play optimally against me. I was like, dude, chill, it's poker, I lost my stack to you, why are u still overreacting?

He's still very upset about the fact that "I stabbed him in the back"(wtf!?). And this boring issue has snowballed in my forum these days.

I hope you guys know what I'm talking about and I'd like to hear some thoughts-like..1. I don't think I did anything wrong taking over my roommate's session when he was in the bathroom and was trying to win my roommate some money, even against friend I know inside out. 2. I think he's overreacting-why would I stab his back in my advantage (isn't poker all about knowing your opponent and play optimally against him?!)


some cliff notes:

his original postI'll skip the hand history linky)
he posted the linky,obv for bragging that he stacked me with his top set (where his top set stacked my dumb shove) and said..

my opponent is a reg,
someone(he's referring to me) on this forum is very familiar with him(my roommate) <---cuz before I told him that guy is my roommate and they had a lot of history

he's also the guy who i play against everyday on stars
before this hand, I don't remember I've won any hands from him,
usually if i tangle with him, the result is that i have to give up on the flop.
and i didn't know that he was playing me like a fiddle until this hand..maybe i should reevaluate my game and see if i'm too bad

could it be someone(referring me again) taught him(my roommate) how to play against me?

okay then I replied, i said, hahah it was me who played that hand and my roommate got pissed that i lost him 100 dollars.

then 1 day later, he posted another one:

even if ur rooomie was in the bathroom,
what kind of shady behavior you think it was that you were trying to outplay me behind his sn and trying to win money from me.

I remember you always like to say, don't tangle with friends at the same table (we were in wsop together and it was at the wynn, but clearly he didn't oblige that cuz we did tangle one hand and i gave him the pot on the turn. he limped utg, bn raised, i 3bet from bb with AA, he cold called!and flop KXX, i cbet, he raised me! I decided to fold cuz like i said to him before hand, i didn't want to tangle with my friend).
But you let me feel that even if you say that, you are afraid of me winning your money, and you were hiding from a mask and take advantage of your understanding of me to win my money.
shouldn't you explain your shady behavior?
as a forum leader, i think you should reflect on yourself.


k, that's it, i translated everything from the forum i run.
