Bilking had ~$50K liquid.

Are you telling me you would have lived in your car with that much cash?

Now you are not that big of a loser, are you ?

I am gonna guess Bikeking was the wealthiest homeless man in Las Vegas.

It tilts me a guy with $50K is living in a car.

Living in a van down by the river seems so much better now.

He did not have any liquid money and likely never did. Let's please stop spreading that garbage in this thread.

If I was a betting man, I would say bike moved to las vegas with less than 10k total to his name and started calling himself a professional poker player. which, by the way, I literally cringe whenever I hear a 1/2 player say that ****. It's comical. Call yourself a full time poker player I guess but you are hardly a ****ing professional, give me a break.

This is your evidence of all the transactions ? You have to do better than this dude. Hard to believe this really happened to you.

He also claims he made weekly deposits into a suntrust bank branch that does not exist anywhere near Las Vegas

Dude, stfu. We get it, you don't believe his story. So what? How does it affect you?
FWIW, he stated in posts back in August that his bankroll was nearing 40K. So now we are supposed to believe he was setting up a 'long con'. For what purpose? I haven't seen him ask for money.

I don't believe his story and I'm providing very ample evidence of why it is false.

I'm not sure why he is making it up, but if someone concocts a story like this in a public forum and doesn't expect it to get ripped apart, then idk really what to say.
It's basically amusement to me at this point i guess

Someone needs to grill him on these things...Actually good points he brings up that needs to be addressed...Keep in mind he hinted at staking & I immediately took it as a sad story in hopes someone would offer.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Hey, Sherlock, he easily could have used Western Union to wire money directly into his bank account. There's even a Western Union location directly on the Strip. And he could have done it for less than $1 per transaction.

Now I'm not saying that he did this or even that his story is true; I'm just pointing out that you didn't "blow the lid of this story" by stating over and over (and over) that Sun Trust doesn't have any local branches.

Western Union into a bank account? Why not just another bank account locally for free? Simply maintaining a $15k balance gets you a premier plus checking account at Chase for free.

If he is too cheap to pay rent... he is too cheap to western union money to his bank.

I wasn't recommending the use of Western Union; I was merely pointing out that there not being any local branches of SunTrust is not in and of itself proof that BikeKing is lying about the incident.

Its hard to say. My life is completely different.

But lets say I was single and I wanted to give this poker thing a go. Then yes, I would probably set a timeframe of say a year, and I would do everything I could to save what I could for that year and effectively add it to the bankroll.

I dont see why that is hard to understand. Forgo some luxury for a year to get to my goal quicker. Its not like he was going to live in a car forever.

You probably have acquaintances in your life who are now leapfrogging you in lifestyle because you opted to blow your load early on uneeded luxuries because you thought at the time you absolutely needed it, and or you were trying to impress people etc.

I didn't think you would be that big a loser to live in a car with $50K liquid.

I stand corrected.

You seem to take this $50k out of context of his goal.
Its weird that you dont even try to understand what he is doing.

Your thinking is "lul, I has $50k, I must sleep in a nice apartment/house/whatever"

It is for a set amount of time. Why cant you get that?

Actually even if he had $50mil, why cant he sleep in a car? I would then actually find it unusual, but he is not hurting anyone.
If he was then to complain that woman wouldnt date him, then he becomes an idiot. But what is the big problem here?

What Andrew is doing may be a bit extreme but one of the easiest ways to get rich is to live within or below your means.

Lol speak of garbage and it shall appear. If poker is your income your a professional, that's a pretty simple logic there buddy. I don't know who hurt you in the past, but just know it probably wasn't your fault and it's going to be OK. I hate to imagine how bad your life is if you have to multipost about how upset you are about a homeless 1/2 player. You also said you're looking for high quality poker theory on 2p2 in 2017, lul. Hope you get that backing deal you applied for btw.

I understand the "minimalist" mindset is pretty unorthodox, but I believe if someone is living their life and it's not illegal or hurting anybody then carry on, whatever makes you happy. It's certainly not a permanent solution which is why I did not invest in buying a van or really modifying my car, just sort of a "well I guess I can I live like this for now and it's really fine." And it is. I've also had some pretty bad roommate experiences in the past during school where it didn't work out because they couldn't honor their agreement and I ended up footing a lot of the bills, so if I was to move in with someone I'd have to know them pretty well, and to get my own cheap place, most of the real cheap places in town aren't safer than a car in a parking garage.


It really doesn't affect my life, but it does make me smile a little at some of the posts ITT. Oh yeah, I um, totally must have messed up editing a snip of a bank statement....smh. I downloaded the PDF file of my statement and the $.00 next to checks shows up as a grammar error in the PDF reader I have, but whatever you would like to believe. Fake poker tracker shots, fake photos, a history of months of recording my journey to Vegas all an elaborate scheme...for the purpose of...yea. In my vlogs, I tend to try and go over a few of the more interesting hands, like in my Bellagio 2/5 vlog, I don't think I played the hands I went over all that well, but those were the only interesting ones, I made a good bit of money that night, in all pretty standard hands that I didn't think were worth going over as the editing involved is pretty tedious for HH's. Everyone's entitled to their opinion and judging skill off of VLOGs, the fact is the majority of poker players are losing players.
There are a few different ways to deposit out of state. Paypal or Venmo and cash are things a lot of my friends use frequently, so occasionally I would simply give them cash for one of those, they'd send me the money, and deposit that way. Or you can also simply get a free money order and use that to mobile deposit, fairly simple.

I'm wishing BKing the best and hope he gets back on his feet soon! Keep the dream alive.

So when you buy in to a game for 300, and someone asks what you do for a living , you say play poker ?? And aren't embarassed? Lol mr. Professional. Let's play heads up on wsop .. I mean I guess it's for rolls at any stake we play at this point

Also when I have a few thousand in my stack and tell someone I play for a living , it's still kinda embarassing/awkward. Couldn't imagine that convo in a 300 cap game . and that convo literally happens to me every session in Vegas

If you play for a living perhaps you should create your own thread.

Lol it's back to the drawing board for all the detective trolz .

then why the **** would you say it?

I suppose I could...maybe even get into the vlog scene.

"So you live here huh, what do you do? Where do you work ?"

I mean I guess I could make some **** up

And yup that settles it . Banks are kinda hard to find in Vegas anyway . Makes sense for someone moving there to not have a branch there and just rely on PayPal or venmo

For sure dude. PMs are always open, I should actually have a way to contact me on my YT page as well as was recently pointed out to me.
