Tank 64

You're in a live, community-sponsored MTT with a $75 buy-in, starting with 3000, ~70 people.

Blinds are up to 100/200, just under 50 people are still in, pays to 8. 9 players at your table. Tournament chip leader is over 12000.

Your table image is semi-aggressive. Table's been generally quiet, with a healthy mix of raising and calling, most hands seeing a raise preflop, most not seeing the river. There hasn't been much all-in activity, other than Seat 1 just taking a hit last hand for most of his chips to Seat 9, who used to be the short stack.

You get dealt JcJs UTG, and you bet 800.

Relevant stacks …

You (UTG) – 3900 … Bet 800

Seat 7 – 8100 … Calls 800

Seat 1 (SB) – 625 … Calls all-in

Seat 2 (BB) – 2600 … Calls 800

Flop is 10h Qs 7h.

Main pot is 2500, side pot is 525

Turn is 3d

Blinds are up to 100/200, just under 50 people are still in, pays to 8. 9 players at your table. Tournament chip leader is over 12000.

Your table image is aggressive, but not too loose; you still fold more than you play, but not by a lot. Table's been generally quiet, with a healthy mix of raising and calling, most hands seeing a raise preflop, only a few hands making it to the river. There hasn't been much all-in activity, other than Seat 1 just taking a hit last hand for most of his chips to Seat 9, who used to be the short stack.

The chip count at your table is approximately:

Seat 1 (SB) - 625

Seat 2 (BB) - 2600

You (UTG) - 3900

Seat 4 - 1800

Seat 5 - 2100

Seat 6 - 1000

Seat 7 - 8100

Seat 8 - 6300

Seat 9 (D) - 3400

You get dealt a JJ, and you're first to act.

This hand is simple, but was difficult at the time.

$240 tournament with 180 players.

$4K in chips to start.

Down to 100-110 players.

Blinds are 200/400

I'm in the BB with almost 10K in chips, table chip leader but not in the top 10 in the tourney. The table's been semi-aggressive, but I don't have a specific read on any individual players (only about 40 hands at this table since I was moved here.)

Seat 4 - limps in

Seat 6 - Calls

Dealer - Calls

SB - Calls

BB(me with Qs7s) - Checks

Pot is now $2000

Flop is K64, all spades.

SB checked, I decided to c/r

Seat 4 (with a stack of around 5K) bets 1,500

Seat 6 (with a stack of around 7K) raises to 3,000

D and SB both folded.

At this point it looks like Seat 4 has a hand, and Seat 6 has effectively commited himself to the hand.

What do I do?

My brother referred me to Carbon Poker, and I signed up and earned the 250 points to qualify us both for the bonuses.

Now Carbon is saying that I can't get the bonus, because the software was loaded on his PC once BEFORE I referred him, even though there was never an account created.

As you can imagine, the reason the software was on there was because he wanted to TRY IT OUT!!!

As you can also imagine, we checked with Carbon in advance, and they said "delete the software before you reload it", which we did.

As you can ALSO imagine, the site said he was referred, allowed everything to work, and even TRACKED ALL HIS POINTS for me. They only 'red-flagged' it AFTER he had earned the bonus, and it was time to pay up.

So am I a voice, crying out in the wilderness, or is this a problem on other sites?

There are a number of applicable passages in the Bible, as well as a number of additional sources in the various Christian faiths.

The two most significant points as relates to this issue are that we are not to kill, and we are not to judge others (or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that we are not to judge others vengefully.)

So can we justify ending a 'guilty' life, while protecting an 'innocent' one?
