Of course, poker is a game of deception and make-believes. We all know that. But I think that's what makes the question deeper and more interesting. It's about where to draw the line... What is the difference between a fair and an unfair advantage ? If my opponent doesn't cover their cards well and I'm able to peek at it, should I do it ? Should I shut up and use that advantage for my own profit for as long as I can exploit it, or should I tell the person because in the a real fair game, I should not be able to see the opponent's cards ?
Other example, would it be ethical for a player to constantly insult and say bad personal things about their opponents at the table in order to mess with their head and force them to make mistakes ? It's not illegal, it's not cheating, but is it ethically acceptable ?
