I'm sorry but I can't feel bad for you. There have been dozens of cases like this and you should have learned from other peoples mistakes.
Don't stake anyone. In 99.9% of staking cases this is the correct decision, especially in cash game stakes. There's always a reason why someone needs a stake and most of the time it's because that person has money management issues and plays in -EV games.
Are you serious? He is a busto degen who obviously doesn't have his own money to play with. The game has most likely passed him by and he can't deal with stress of poker anymore, hence the degenerate PLO sessions. Just because someone used to be a good winning player doesn't mean he will be one for the rest of his life.
lol at every paragraph in this post. Each one is more absurd than the next. This is the last troll post I will respond to.
1) every player who needs a stake needs one for a reason that makes them risky. It's the nature of the business.
2) sympathy. Not looking for it. Try reading the thread before you troll.
3) lol at the game passing him by. He is easily one of the best mid stakes HU regs on stars. The ptr post earlier indeed shows that I am down $10,000 to rossa. This is almost entirely from HU play and I am a 6pt winner starting tables this year.
I knew posting in BBV I would get a lot of troll posts, I did so anyways because it gets more traffic than other forums so I took a chance. I'm done defending myself, I don't mind the trolls I just want the posters of posts like this to realize they have no idea what they are talking about.
I will continue to read the thread, but only comment if anyone has anything postitive to contribute in terms of helping with the issue. Thanks again to those who are trying to do so.
