How can you compare pulling a slot machine to matching up in pool? Yes, they are both gambling but are WAY different.
really!! no poker machine has ever pulled up on me and I have given many ample opritunity!!

Never mind, why even bother!!!!
"If you beat a blackjack dealer out of money, would you offer him a chance to win the money back? MT. Cheverest, just like pool, you owe your opponent nothing. You gambled, he gambled you are both taking a chance period!"
Correct me if I`m wrong but if you beating a black jack dealer(I`m assuming you mean a casino dealer) out of money it is not his money it`s the casino`s.In a private game the dealer might be betting his own money.
Also if you compare a card game to a pool game you have to make it a fair comparison.A 5 handed poker game would be the same as a 5 handed ring game.If someone quits the others will probally keep playing and you will have a chance to get some of your money back.
Now if you and 1 other person are playing heads up cards then it would be the same as you and that person playing a set of pool.
Now lets say that you and that 1 person play no limit heads up poker.You play about 10 hands and the guy you are playing is catching every card he needs and is up a good chunk of your cash.Now he gets a bad hand and says he folds and quits.Your stuck and have no chance at getting your cash back.
Now you tell us that you wouldn`t be mad and try to get him to play more? I highly doubt it.
By what some of you have posted you would just smile shake his hand and leave without a bad thought.Sorry but seriously doubt it.
If it`s a multi handed game thats different because there are still chances to get even.i haven`t read anyone yet that has talked about losing at cards heads up.
Just posting my opinions.
I`m not ever going to play someone and not give them a shot at their money back but thats me.
That's fine, I respect your priorities. I on the otherhand keep playing if I am winning. My wife undestands that if there is an ATM at the poolroom that's spitting out $20 bills I am gonna stay. It's not like it happens every day, and I play mostly at home anyway. It ain't about needing the money to buy her dinner either, as a CPA I earn plenty. I think Eddie said it best: "Money won is twice as sweet as money earned!" That's just me. I respect other viewpoints, but I don't necessarily understand them.
