Maybe, but that doesn't make me the Super High School Level Moral Compass. There are plenty of other people that follow a strict moral code... and they don't gamble. They haven't caused other people to lose thousands of dollars in a matter of minutes.

You can't put that on yourself. Remember what you said? We agree to the rules when we come to the table to play, including the consequences. You can't blame yourself for something like that.
[He definitely still believes in that philosophy, but it's hard to think of himself as the SHSL Moral Compass at the same time.]
It's just that someone with truly good morals, someone really worthy of that title, would be doing something else with his life. I feel like my past self would disapprove of me.
