I have a moral/money between friends dilemma and once again turn to teh all knowing Huddle on how to handle this situation. I will give it to yous as unbiased as I can, please let me know what yous think is the right answer. I am involved in this situation, but Im not going to say what my part is, until later...I will try leave out most of the details to avoid the tl;dr's

So me & a few friends play poker every month at a buddy's house. Last month a guy showed up thats only been there 3 times and he brought someone nobody knew. Now this is a fairly close group, we play together regularly and its a small money ($30) poker tournament. At some point in the evening somebody decided to take most of the money for the payouts. Payouts were $170 & $100, the thief took $170, and the 2 people that won split the remaining Benjamin, both obviously not getting what each was supposed to. All that was said is "We will figure it out." So now we FF to the next game which took place last weekend..

The guy that won the tourney is looking to the host of the game to cover the money that was stolen. The host does not take any money unless he wins, there is no 'house cut' of the payouts. Is the host of the game financially responsible to reimburse the money that was stolen?

The money was left out in the open for all to see. Except for the dude nobody knew, this was a game among friends... I have never run into an issue like this in my 9 years of playing, so I have no idea about the normal right answer... We pretty much know who took it, but nothing can be proven...

Normally the money is kept out of sight, this was a last minute game and because it was only 8 people the host left the money out, divvied up ready to pay the winners...

I seriously doubt that either of them 2 guys ever come back...

Emptying pockets is in vain, theres no way of knowing how much money a person has in their pockets when they get there... The bill denominations were all $20s & a few $10s...

Nice try J2.

You had me going for just a bit. I then recalled how we are both in the same trade and thought to myself how a similar situation could have occured had I been involved.

J2 took the money. He figured the new guy would make a convenient scapegoat, snatched the ca$h and said nothing.

Come to find out the new guy was above reproach so J2 comes on here, gives us this pretty story and then he will show the other players that he couldn't have done it because he is going out of his way and using teh huddle brain trust to help figure out who the culprit really was.

Pure fuging genius, OJ........:D

At least that's what I would have done....

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
