You'd be a grade-A scumbag if you did this to a noob.

His problem, not yours. If he's a regular but can't conceal his cards properly, so be it, use the info to your advantage.

If it was a new player, I would tell him/her.

Against this guy OTOH, ship it.

I should add that this player was entirely capable of shoving 150BB at any point with complete air. There was potentially a ton of money to be made in this situation.

This is related to how I only steal from rich old ladies.

So the ethics change if you can make a lot of money?

I wanted ppl to be aware of the scope of the situation. The ability to potentially take down a monster pot w/ Ace high is significant here.

No you're not a scumbag. Dude should protect his own hand. Serves him right.

The fact you would add this caveat only cements your scumbag status.

If a player is clearly an experienced B&M player, and is acting stupid on purpose, I have zero sympathy and wouldn't help them.

If someone is clearly new to play, I'm more than happy to help them protect themselves.

What about the big gray area in between 'clearly experienced' and 'noob'?
