What a Bastard

Last night I 'won' a short handed SNG.  After eliminating 3rd place, I was heads up with my last opponent with our stacks virtually even.  Immediately, my opponent was set to away.  I quickly whittled down this check/fold pushover till he returned 6-7 hands later, and finished him off with over cards.

Was this 'morally' wrong?  It's happened to me many times in the past.  I have to step away for a moment at a critical point, and find my stack shaved down to nothing.

I then stepped into an Omaha room with 18... 12.... 2... 12... 35... 34 retire.  Got lucky a couple of times.  The average pot of 27$ really dictated that I should never have sat down in the room to begin with.

I saw few more books I want to read when I went to a head-up tournament this weekend.  Pretty dismal result there... 0 for 6 matchups.  Oh well.  I thought I was a good headsup player.  The blinds were pretty silly tho... the M's started off at 13, vs 50 for a typical online tournament.
