I really don't mind bad players sucking out because I know I'll win their money in the long run, but I have to say, sometimes people decide to play for more money than they can handle, get lucky, and never come back. It's not really that bad in a way but it sure seems unfair.

none of the above-mentioned actions are unethical. repeated hit and runs from an online regular is in my book. i've always thought of poker as a gentlemen's game, and it's people like this that ruin it for the rest of us.

Dave,

Ethical lines are always blurred but they have become increasingly blurred with regards to standard B&M rules applied to online games.

For example, in B&M play it is unethical to request to see a mucked showdown hand merely for informational purposes. Are you trying to tell me that you've never once in your life looked in the hand history box just to see what you opponent mucked while playing online? If you have, are you any better than the guy you're critisizing in your OP?

Similarly, in B%M play ratholing has always been unethical. But theres no practical way to stop it online so its almost become acceptable. Moreover, with so many tables available on so many sites it has become a rather moot point to even try to enforce it. Of course this is all debateable, and I won't claim that my view is any more true than yours.

Bottom line, is that the guy probably isn't as good as you. Just take his money in the long run and stop complaining.

If I weren't in the office, I'd be ROFLMAOing at the HH Mega posted. CB88 spends a lot of time at the 100 and 200 max tables, have seen him at the 400 table (all primarily PLO8 AFAIK) more recently. As compared with the pool of semi-regular through very regular players, he seems better than probably 2/3 of them. Without going into specifics, my notes have identified numerous exploitable traits in his play, he may be spineless (can't comment on that) but he is def not plumb dumb IMO.

So easy, if you double up on a table and leave, then when you buy in at another table of the same stake, you buy in for what you left the other table with.

If they can keep track for the same table, then they can keep track in general.
