500$ out of nowhere

[Defendant]

Im actually surprised to see this many take the money posts.

I mean, I can understand it, given how much we pay them through rakes, but still...after I thought about it for as long as I did, I decided that it would definitely disagree with my sense of morality to take the money.

Damn, and I dont even believe in Karma or heaven or paradise or shit like that, wtf

[PShabi]

I'd take it and not lose a wink.

So, if you were playing some unknown heads up in a tournament, and then they disconnected, would you steal their blinds as much as possible or wait as much as possible for them to reconnect? I know I would certainly be the greedy bastard and take his blinds at will.

no i told them they did it, was back in the old days

hell yes, but this happened in the TPFHU thingy, and i donated half what i took back to him

Something similar happened to me. I withdrew funds from FT and they deposited it twice into my Neteller account. I kept it. Although, about a month later they sent me an email saying they made an error and requested that I redeposit the funds so they can take the money back. So far, I have ignored the email, but unfortunately, I can't play for money on FT since if I make a deposit, they are likely to take the money I put in. Bastards.

I would tell them about the $ in every case. I would feel like a thief if I didn't. I don't really care that they found a way to exploit an edge and rake our poker games, that's no reason to steal.

On the other hand, I usually don't feel bad at all about cheating on tests if I have the opportunity. This is because I feel like grades are extremely overrated and I personally don't feel too bad about getting a decent grade in a class without much effort, if the class does not interest me. In classes that do interest me and that I care about, I would pass up the opportunity to cheat and get what I deserve if I felt I was properly taught the material.

Three questions:
1.) What if you didn't have any money, JD?
2.) Have you ever heard of an honor code? A number of colleges have them. You should check up on Mizzou. Basically, what they say is, if you're caught cheating on a test, you get thrown out of school.
3.) Assuming No. 2 is valid in your case, would you risk your college stay on cheating on a test in a shitty class you'll never use anyway?

See I don't see this as stealing. Just as they found a way to expoilt an edge (stealing money from our pots in exchange for letting us play there), if they make an error when processing our accounts (which we pay them to have for us) then that's us exploitng our edge.

Actually hacking into the system and removing money from a players bankroll and putting it in your own would be stealing, and something different.

So, if you are able to get a job based on your GPA being higher than a fellow applicant - and you cheated in the classes that didn't interest you to get your high GPA and the other applicant didn't cheat - you don't feel like you stole/cheated that job from him or her??

Or if someone who is not as intelligent as you are has to really work hard and apply himself/herself to get an 'A', and you cheat and get the same 'A' - you don't feel that sort of cheats/steals from the other students accomplishment, or at least minimizes it??

JUST SAW YOUR POST saying you were going to try to stop doing it. I guess you can ignore this then. I was sort of playing devil's advocate anyway.

[JDMcNugent7]

def take the blinds.
this is alot diff i think.

[GeoffM]

I'd take it in a heartbeat and cash that bad boy out.

Doesn't the Mansion $1,000 free bet promotion feel like stealing? I never slept so damn well in my life after the famous Porter INT.

[Reel Deal]

Sheez, ya'll just a bunch of degenerate thieves and cheaters.
