Curious and silly question, but interested in what people would do.

 

Hyperthetically, just say your playing in your tourneys and there is some sort of undetectable malfunction with the software and somehow you are seeing everyone’s hole cards. After a few hands you realise that you are the only one that can see the hole cards and the other players cannot. You also know 100% that this is not detectable by the poker site and there is no chance at all of you being caught (it is hyperthetical)

 

What would you do?

Email support? Tell the other players? Sit out and report it??

 

Or continue playing and try and win as much as you can??

 

I try and be as honest as I can in life, never steal or cheat others, but I have to tell ya, after the UB scandal, I’ve occasionally asked myself this question, and I tell ya, I would find it hard not to keep on playing, not saying I would, I think I would feel awful and miserable afterwards if I did play and cheat others, but just being honest I think it would be a very hard temptation to overcome.

I’d report it ASAP! One of the most exciting aspects of this game is being able to measure your honest development and improvement against good players. The way I see it, the money you make is proportionate to your level of dedication and understanding of the game. To make a dishonest living renders a hollow, meaningless existence…. and Karma is more of bitch than variance will ever be!

Nice hypothetical Dons… Clearly this isn’t something you’re struggling with lately, otherwise you would’ve folded your AK verses my AA 😉

Nice to know we have an honest and trustworthy leader of our Home games.

 

Totally agree mate, as much as I would want to continue playing I think in the end my conscience would get the better of me.

 

And how the f**k do you wake up with AA vs my AK 4 handed???
