Getting a Mulligan at video poker

Quote: sabre

You're actually stealing from another player when you cash money or of a machine that isn't yours. It's theft, and in my opinion, you should go to jail for doing it.

Would that also apply to what Phil Ivey did?

No. Phil Ivey never lied.

To respond to other comments, I certainly don't disapprove of all advantage play. However, the play in question, to me, falls in the grey area between advantage play and cheating. I would compare this to making a vague gesture in blackjack, deliberately, and lying about your intent if how the dealer interpreted the gesture went against you.

The same code of ethics applies to casinos as well. I could list plenty of things they have done that range from a morally grey area to blatant cheating.

It is not that one side is good and one is bad, but good and bad exist on both sides. The "bad" on both sides should be exposed to the light of day.
