    No, my logic is not flawed. If you're not splitting the proceeds with the other player you are stealing from him. I'm sure the pit and surveillance would view it that way. Furthermore, it's still his hand to play. If he gets paid it's up to him what he does with the proceeds. You're equally invested in the hand, it's still technically his hand to play, and he's entitled to half the proceeds. What you're doing is bullying and stealing from others at the table. This is morally unacceptable, and I'm sure the casino(s) would toss you out when they figure out what's going on, whether or not they suspect you're counting or not.

    SERIOUSLY flawed logic
    Once you have paid the surrender price, you own the hand. Everyone else seems to get it.

    I don't know of any casino that would let you play out another person's hand. The original bettor owns the hand.
