    In that case we'd better muzzle Banana_Dog in case she decides to eat Small_Dog.

    Look at it like this:

    It was their choice to gamble.
    Someone else would have probably taken it anyway.
    Think of yourself as an entertainer... they paid you to entertain them by playing poker with them.

    I think its natural to sometimes feel some pity if you think you have finished of someones roll,   I honestly believe that the players who say they feel no pity are lacking in life experience which teaches empathy.

    I hope you never lose that feeling as it is humane.      quiet frankly I find the people who genuinely say they dont care quiet creepy.

    would rather have you tying my rope before I abseil of a cliff than one of them.

    When I was playing live I did feel a bit bad this one time.

    I raised pre on the button with KQcc and only got one caller from the BB.  18 year old kid who had ran up a £60BI to £600.  I had £500 behind.

    Flop was Ac 2h Tc.  He donks £15 into £25, I rasie to £55, he re-raises to £140.  He looks really nervous and I have the royal draw so I decide to just ship it in.  He tanks for 10 minutes and eventually calls with ATo.  Turn Q.  River Q.

    He looked like he wanted to cry.  And he was proper shaking too.

    5 minutes later I pick up AA when he has KK and get his last £100 or so.  A friend of mine overheard him in the smoking area talking to his mate  first of all saying that he now had £10 to last for the next 2 weeks then begging his mate for £100 so he could rebuy back in and bust all the fish LOLOLOL.

    THanks sir,  we are roughy same age,   and relate more to the gbs of this world,   but I have to admit without the youthful aggression of players like ljamesl we would all fall asleep in our comfy chairs also.

    We do have our moments when our backs are against the wall though.  :)

    LOL ..........a bit ott i must say....its poker!! u never know who you are palying against online, i treat it like a video game,showing no empathy for the players i play coz i dont know em!

    comparing real live with playing poker degenerates online hmm..... ie they so co-exist. No one gives a crapp about each other in the real world why start caring about a poker player that could be better off than you......

    LOL thats the reason its ott, not being moral in the sence that by not feeling pity for the player you owned in a virtual world is sad.........then im sad. This doesnt show what kind of person i am!! and because i show no empathy in a virtual world doesnt mean im imoral and nasty in the real world .....

    its not a virtual world though is it, real people are playing. if you wish to perceive real people as the avator on the table then so be it if it makes you feel better. when live and you knock someone out or take the money you can shake there hands after, you cant online. the reason we shake there hands after is because its the right thing to do.

    I see what your trying to say but it is real people,    Im not saying every time we stack someone we should feel guilty,   im only saying.... sometimes you can tell when someone has had a horrid run and throws on thier last in an almost desperate attemt to pull back,   plus in this day and age of video technology we can become detached from our own humanity ,      I am sure that almost everyone who says they dont feel empathy busting someone online are perfectly decent people but technologically detached.

    But in the interests of keeping a balance between serious issues and light heated ones,   your breath stinks :)
    technologicly detached speaking lol

    ok buddy  this is gettin beyond my point and silly but the moral of my story is that morally it isnt immoral to not able to morally empathize ur oppo LOL

    I play poker because it makes me happy and gets my heart beatin, i would not play online it if it made me feel bad for every win i got,... a simple UL or GG is all you can do no need to dwell on it! ind im sure ur not  ...

    morally i agree with you that morality should play no part in poker and for that reason i morally decline to write anything else on said morality
