I would just call and hope he shoves the turn. I play poker to win money and never play soft vs anyone.

no ethics involved really just shove - i mean wtf else can you have after that? i would probably laugh and say this is pretty sick for you or something. i would just be completely straightforward and not feel bad about any of it.

Unless you guys had a really good rapport and were planning to go clubbing after this or something, I don't understand why you wouldn't shove. Not to mention that if you softplay here it's a pretty slippery slope to collusion.

i don't softplay. but i also do NOT play poker just for the money. i play for competition as well, and when the playing field is not level, then i'm not beating someone fair-and-square, and that detracts from the satisfaction of competing.

right but, first and foremost it's for the money right? Plus, he's the one that tilted the playing field in your favor. It's a mistake on his part.

if you want to call an act of kindness a mistake.
