Default What\'s my responsibility?

My roomate (victor) is playing a game he never plays at high stakes. Obviously he's been drinking and losing all night. I have told him he's an idiot for playing, how much further should i go to stop him from playing?

Unplug computer / disconnect internet connectivity. During downtime, try and convince him to have a few more drinks away from the computer so he stops playing. If he just reboots and insists on playing, I'd call it a night and discuss it tomorrow. If you succeed, I'd still discuss it tomorrow.

Up to you whether you try to have your way with him while he's drunk.

Edit: I'd probably try and wait for his blinds to ambush his game.

He's good enough at holdem that drunk or not he's still formidable. Raxx on the other hand.. he had to ask me if it was A-5 or 2-7... 1/2 an hour in.

Edit. Raxx should clearly have been Razz.
