Hello friends. An issue has been raised regarding the ethics of folding to the BB as a strategy to balance tables when a discrepancy exists in the number of players at different tables during a tournament. In my experience in a real tournament such a lack of parity in player numbers would be corrected by the host by moving players until a reasonable balance was achieved. Gpokr seems to have a problem with this. Here's what happened today: during Members 10K i noticed the table at which I was sitting had 4 players compared to 8 at the other table. At the time I believe I was high stacked. I recommended we start folding to the BB until the other table lost some players. We all agreed but it took a while, longer than usual. I've done this a number of times and no one has raised an objection until today when it became clear that that some not agree that this is a fair strategy. I don't want to continue to do this if it is upsetting. I will say however that it is upsetting to me be sitting at a table with 3 players and the other tables has 2x or more players and I'm getting hit with blinds 2/3rds of the hands.

So friends, what say you? Is folding to the BB unethical or not?
