I was playing in a MTT sit-n-go at Full Tilt (no easy task to get in there).
About 1 hour in I am moved to a new table. I noticed something odd when the BB folded with no bet and looked in the chat window to see a couple players trying to get my attention "GO ALONG WITH US JOE" and such. It seemed that everyone at this particular table had gone away, except for two players, Mr E, and Mr. B.
They quickly informed me that we should all go along with snatching the blinds from the missing players and not play poker until the players were replaced after which we would play again.
Not wanting to screw up a good thing I went along with them, I snatched a few blinds and then the real situation became apparent. Mr. E decided he couldn't stand to fold his Aces, and swiped MY blinds! Within 5 minutes he decided that he NEEDED Mr. B and My blinds again, what a jerk. After all the dust settled I had earned a whopping 100 chips (blinds were 50/100).
Dag Nabbed razza frazza frumpin frits! Should I have played straight from the start rather than go along with this seemingly "free lunch"?
Do you think it is unethical to go along with a situation like this?
Thanks for any opinions!
