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....

    • His o loaded with swift, dj, Keenan and Rome was inconsistent at best. The d was bad. And the game management was atrocious and lost them games.  He was terrible and made the team worse. I wish they kept him
    • That is my point.  I think teams make a huge mistake when they pay their decent to average QBs top QB money because they feel that they have to match the market or lose their investment--There is no way, for example, that Tua or Prescott or Murray should all be making more than Mahomes--I mean, Dak makes $15m per season more than Mahomes. People say, "Well, when its his turn...." But that is not how it should be--so my point was that Bryce can be doing mediocre to good enough in 2 years, but the way it is going, you have to pay him at the starting QB rate--currently $60m.  So even if you think he will continue to improve, at $60 m, he would eliminate any chance for a ring---so my view is, if he is not elite, you cut him.  So you draft QBs now and see what you can make of them.
    • With two 4ths and three 5ths I’m hoping we can kill it on adding depth. Take a gamble with the two 7ths.  First 3 picks id love to address the defense. I expect Tuttle, Robinson, and Jewell to all be on the 2025 roster but not after that. Be a good time to add depth and let them develop a year.
