A few years back I had no moral problem with watching games at Party Poker, looking for a table with a couple of weak players, and jumping in when I found one. The tables were open and I didn't mislead or trick anyone.
I would have a problem with hiding my pool skill or tricking someone into playing on a table they could not handle so I could take advantage of them.
When you are active in a deception, you are in an different place.

i wasn't alive for this, but in the old days guys used get the information about various company's that came over the wires, they held up the information, and people walked into the bucket shops and nailed them for their cash. i never heard of any of those guys having to give back the money. all Ivy did was find an edge. the house has an edge. he did nothing wrong in my book, and their are other precedents before he did what he did. of course the cage in a casino is licensed as a bank, and banks have every edge imaginable. that's why they got him for his money.
