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....

    • Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......
    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
