An Ethics Question

durrrr · #1 10-21-2006, 05:26 AM

Ok, so i joined a 1k hu sng, @ 410ish AM cst, and the guy was sitting out. I had never seen him before anywhere... i'm a bit drunk, and he proceeded to blind off. Obviously if i knew him even a little bit (and thought he would do the same for me) i would send him 950$ (he is eating the rake @ least obv.). However since he is unkown its likely that he would blind me off if the situation was reversed. Wondering if anyone has anythin interesting/convincing to say- although admittedly there is a good chance it wont affect my decision.

Imo i have a few options:

1) send him back 950$ or w/e
2) send him back some % of the above (minus w/e my time is worth etc)
3) who cares ship $$s
4) donate to charity or something (give to random bum w/e)

Its your cash and your decision of what you want to do with it. "it's unethical to let a sucker keep his money".

Definitely option 3 and it's not close.

If this was a friend who you thought would do the same for you, i would consider options 1 or 2.

pretty much all i need to blind him off. fwiw i agree with everything else you said. i might give it to a random guy, but i'm pretty generous on average - though it would be pretty funny(and nice) to just throw some hundreds at a bum on the street.

obv if he has ever done me even the slightest favor (could be buying me a beer) he gets @ least option 2

During a $20-180 once when my bankroll was really low. The guy and me were even in chips so we said lets chop. I emailed support and when they came he was not there to agree to any deal. SUpport said I could sit in and blind him off. I did just that. I now kind of regret not sending him his money back, but at time I was a selfish prick.

Okay durrrr, I think keeping money is fine or send back maybe 100 if you feel too guilty. Its really up to you.

Are you really bothered by it? Send it to him.

Otherwise, buy yourself something therapeutic.
