A Moral Dilemma
« on: June 01, 2010, 23:19:13 PM »
Played a $30 deepstack on Black Belt Poker tonight.  Only 7 runners.

We get three handed and hit a break.  A friendly table, I"ve just got the chiplead with 9k, 2nd on 8k, 3rd on 4k.

With two minutes of the break remaining, 2nd in chips types "t time" and is sat out.

Break ends and we carry on playing with him sat out.  After about 20 hands, I knock out the guy in 3rd.

We are heads up and I have 14k against the 7k in 2nd place who is still sat out.


It"s a winner takes all ($210).  Two options, are you stealing blinds or sitting out ?

lost enough times when I"ve disconnected for whatever reason, either technical or because of a distraction..... no question here.... just raise fast enough to make sure you take enough before he comes back!!

the guy cannot eat and play online poker at the same time?? lmao .. Moral dilemma?
Leigh you are showing that you have no morals if u play on and others may view u as a sneaky individual which would lead to all black belt regs to not want to play with you any more and worse still may even possibly wish that bad things should happen to you ... ;D
On the other hand should you choose to fold/sit out whilst waiting patiently for your fellow player then you will gain the respect of your fellow players at black belt poker.. Henceforth u will be welcomed back with open arms by all , they will luvvvv your integrity .. The poker Gods will reward u with unusually luckiness and all will be well in the world of Chipaccrual.

OR u could just get raising and win $210 ;D

Because this is a "community based game" on BBP, rather thn just a normal game, Im pretty sure I sit out.  The guy has said he is coming back - I give him 5 minutes.

Ul in the league game - they always get there.

Your op only serves as further evidence that some people in the world are much nicer than me...

Not only would I snap raise as soon as the box appeared, I"d leave messages in the chat box saying how I was going to spend the money, in the hope that he sees it before his window closes.

Yeah gotta be honest, I would probs wait a couple of minutes, and then start raisinig, at least then you can say you gave him time to get back.
