This is more like Iceland volcano. The apocalypse is when you agree that the normal tipping rate should be 10%.

friendly game. I'd tell him.

I have a friend that I know wouldn't and I think that friend is kind of a douchebag.

So in a football game, you wouldn't try to figure out the opposiing team's signals? If you picked up on the signal that the next play was a run down the middle, would you tell the opposing quarterback that you were wise to the play?

in a random pick-up game with some buddies? I probably wouldn't be using signals in the first place much less trying to decrypt the opposing team's.

you're basically exploiting a friend's ignorance. the extent to which that's copacetic is entirely determined by your own values.

So, "hypothetically," you are "pretty good friends" with someone and yet you are intentionally taking advantage of their poor poker skills in order to win money from them?

What business is it of mine to try to figure out what the opposing signals are. Play the damn game.

It's not Cesar's Palace, it's a friendly game. I'd give him a heads up.

let him know once. After that, it is his loss and there is no question of ethics (if there was one before).

What's the point of beating someone if I can see their hand?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say money.
