Poker player question.

[Talking Poker]

This is my biggest problem with your logic. How is them adapting their games to take advantage of the donator NOT correct? I think NOT changing how you are playing when someone is handing out free chips is NOT correct.

Note that this is completely independent of if you should be nice and give him free lessons during the tourney or not (which is an ethics question of it's own - is THAT fair to the other players in the tourney? What about one player per hand?).

I dunno... I guess I see it as playing the same starting hands in a HU game as you would at a full table, because "that's correct." Well, no, it's not. As game conditions change, "correct" play changes too.

The only think I think was out of line here was the guy making fun of the donk... that's just stupid, and completely -EV. Then again, so are the free lessons you apparently wanted to give him. I also don't see why you were "defending" a guy who didn't see fit to defend himself. If he didn't say anything, maybe it's because he had to go and he was trying to bust out on purpose. Who knows? Nunya-bidnezz.

I also don't understand how someone can sign up for a Razz tourney and think it's 7 card stud. I mean, not noticing when the rounds change in HORSE is on thing, but that would be like me signing up for a Hold Em tourney only to find out it's HORSE. I don't see how that's possible. I mean, don't you read the name of the game before you click the register button?
