So I sit down at $10/$20 PLO instead of $.25/$.50 ...

... by mistake and before I realize, one guy sits down and OF COURSE, it's a fast table so I'm autoposted.

Before my brain can process anything, the games starts and I have no idea what to do. Of course I could have given up a Big Blind but hey, man $20 is 40BB at my normal stake.All I wanted to do is not lose that [censored] big blind.

However after 4 hands and winning a $320 pot with just about garbage, I was like: "hey you understand you have 90% of your roll on the table, right?"

Then I sat out. I felt bad cuz it felt like a hit-n-run so I talked to the guy and told him I will transfer him the $163 I won and he said "it's probably the right thing to do", which is arguable.

Since I don't want to cheat anyone and also don't want to lie to myself (and to cheat on my results) with that extra money I do not deserve, I did transfer him the monieeezz.

Beats:
1 - Putting 90% of my roll at risk to win back a BB
2 - Winning 3+ BI's of my usual stake and then transfering to him, knowing it's not even change money to him

Brag(?): raising with bottom two pair in PLO when playing 90% of ur roll...or can honesty be a brag???

I know in poker all we should care about is the money and not being fair and stuff. What do you guys think, should I have kept the money and run, or does it make sense to send it and feeling like a fair person? I also could have played for stacks [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] but hey, even if you do double up your roll that way, it doesn't require pure skill and after all the wisdom I gained from reading, it didn't even feel like an enviable option. (I know I will get flamed for this).

IMHO it doesn't make much sense to transfer as I did. But I just didn't want to pass for a jerk. I am making money at poker and I want to make it the right way, that's it. Curious to know what others think.
