It goes both ways....

I just checked with my book and over the past 5+ years they gave me every deposit and payout I made...

I don't know....Anytime you withdraw they hate it....anytime you deposit they love it.

IMO, if they pay your deposit/withdrawal fees then a one shot withdrawal is a little unethical (nothing controversial) while if you pay your own fees then they have 0 right to be mad

Do poker players consider it unethical if you sit in at a table, double/triple up and leave...? Is not any different Id say.

They don't seem to mind in Vegas, if I make bet win and then cash it. Nothing unethical about it at all. Nothing unethical about winning a huge pot in poker and walking way either.

I think they hate it if you jump into a game with say $300 when the average stack is 2k or more then walk away with with a bunch of their money.

As long as you come into a game with a decent stack the leaving early after a big hand is not an issue.

They frown more on short stacks hitting and running more then someone that walks in with a bunch of cash and leaves early.

I saw a guy one time buy in with $250 when the average stack was over 2 k and 20 mins later he had over 7k and left .

They were not too happy with that guy.

It's amazing how fast a stack can grow. You are never out of it until you have zero chips.

Yesterday I saw the most amazing SNG comeback ever.

6 player hyper turbo.

Everyone started with 300 chips.

It was down to 3 players the top 2 get paid.

I had 1400 chips, the other 2 had 396 and 4.

The guy with 4 chips finished 1st, the guy with 396 finished 2nd, and the guy with 1400 chips finished 3rd.

Ugh, that's freaking disgusting, seen it happen a lot... yesterday I won a $10 PLO8 SNG after having 40 chips 6-7 players left, all of them above 1k...

Local books hate it........I remember when I was up pretty good on one if my local guys the first year I was with him, & he stated if I bet basketball or baseball, & I said nope, just football with him, & he sounded pissy, haha!

I ended up hooking up like 7 or 8 other guys thru him & never got a penny for the losses those guys lost to him, heck one guy lost $60,000 just in the NBA to him.......I should have gotten money like agents do for books, but that wasn't my intention, these guys were friends & needed a good book, so screw the books, hit & run every time on those greedy bastards!

Locals take all the risk, do you give them anything if the players hit them up? do you have to cough up money if one of your referrals stiff him? He should have given you a referral bonus and you should not want anything outside of that unless you want to take some risk yourself. Personally, you should be happy not to be involved... refer and get out of the way - leave it between them and save yourself the headache.

Every local is different - some won't like it and will rather not have you as a player while others will just take on everybody.

Winners are good for business. Thats why Vegas puts up pictures of jack pot winners, and bells and whistles go off when one hits. When people win they want people to see it. Vegas isn't dependent on book making alone though.
