Sorry to hear that Gazzy. Guy clearly needs help (not from you ofc) and to gtfo of the poker/gambling world.

lol@the second edit.

the definition of a prick

there is a time and place for violence.

I mean he can ofc be both. The gambling addiction is what is causing him to act like a prick so that seemed more pertinent.

Remember also that most poker pros heavily rely on these type of people to keep their career viable. It is difficult when something like this happens to you but I think we need to show them some compassion

This, such a sad story, it's hard to read that, feel bad for you and the guy. But on average lending money to gambling addicts is a bad idea, even to normal people it's already bad, since 90% of the people don't make effort in paying you back and you always have to keep asking them to pay back, which is super annoying for both sides.

The sickest thing is the guy trying to justify that his gambling happened to help you get your money back

Danny Ings is at Southampton though.

yeah, while reading I was hoping to see some overturn in that direction, but sadly it ended there :/

I benched him in FPL at the weekend

Stream time, keeping an eye on the comments of this thread, some interesting stuff so far!

What price did he get on Ings going to Southampton?

Good choice on cutting him out of your life and moving out asap. He's obv got a problem but that isn't your problem. For him to take no responsibility and not be apologetic at all it seems unlikely he pays you so prob best just forget about it and if the money somehow comes back then great. Prob a learning moment though in terms of choosing to stake him. Past stealing and degeneracy along with it being a stake for micros was unlikely to ever end well. What do you think his hourly was playing those games, I assume not a lot and he was bound to steal when he couldn't make money to fund his life/degeneracy.

staking sounds fun

Thanks for all the comments dudes, have picked a few to reply to...

Thanks for the sub homie! Sorry to hear you've been through the same thing

I don't think these two things are mutually exclusive. I appreciate the how disruptive a gambling addiction can be, but that doesn't excuse certain actions/lack of remorse!

Thanks for the advice bud, I particularly agree with point 1 (even tho the fight 100% happened, many mutual friends and casino managers were there); the number of lies and how casual they were was ridiculous when we found out about it all.

Thanks a lot bud, glgl this weekend! Let me know how it goes

Haha so much this! Got a mate who's owed me £300 for about 2 years now, people just assume that you're doing alright and there's no rush to pay it back.

Absolutely loved these three posts!

He got £1100 for a £400 stake, dunno if all that £1100 was profit or what. I suspect it was insta-reinvested tho.

Thanks a lot dude. As you say he's got a problem, and it's a shame, but it sure as **** ain't my problem!

stake me pls! Hope you're well bud x

***I have swapped the $109 from 13th Sept to 06th Sept (today), 150k gtd to 500k gtd, anyone who has bought a piece that has an issue with it feel free to make your feelings known, otherwise I'll switch em!***

MTTs - played the $22 and gg'd 2nd level, 3bet 88 pre vs a fish, he called, JT2r flop went x/x, he lead on 9 turn and potted 7 river. Sigh but hey ho. Played the $55 and busted just before end of reg. Played ok, just no spots. Also a Twitch viewer offered to flick me into the $215HU as a 20/80 freeroll, humbly accepted but lost in the 1st round after 4betting A5s for 60bb and running into KK, A95 flop... K turn woulda been a great story!



Rly pleased to have a winning day at 100z, things were tough for a while there. Couple of quick hands...

Was in no mood to fold



Yucky vs aggro reg



100z regs I mean what the ****ing ****



Had this guy tagged as a reg, hence the 3b, obvs not lol



Sigh call vs the min 4b, sigh gii, horrible hand to be up against equity wise!



Trying to push a fish about, couldn't put him on that!



Crushed this fkn ant



This autopilot 3bet escalated quickly



Dunno what ur reppin m8 but u should never have a set here



Redline 4 lyf



Ok that'll suffice, WCOOP so far and tomorrow's schedule...

Thanks for the ban in the stream spazzyb didn't even get the chance to talk after mentioning mirage. It seems you have gone down the marketing road in poker with coaching/streaming as many other average regs have to resort to stay in the game, Probably a smart choice as you appear to be a likable guy (lovable idiot). Strange thing is you only have a graph of 250k hands claiming to beat 100z at 7bb? from 2017>now, for a guy that use to grind 1mil+ hands a year that seems odd and it probably tells me that the rest of your sample over this time was not worth showing/deleted out of your db. Now you can tell me you were playing live or some other bs but 250k~ hands online in almost 2 years from you is hard to believe, your sheep following will help defend you anyway. Also don't pull the ''he's obsessed with me'' crap I barely open this site/have not posted in a year. Now I can understand dental is expensive and you don't want to spend $ fixing that big gap between your teeth....but cmon 2nl grinders in 3rd world countries are not sitting on wooden stools. You started this thread what almost 5 years ago at 50nl? and now you're at 100nl keep up the good work pce.

Ahaha I remember your posts from last year, went to look them up, you came at the king and missed then, funny to see it took you a whole year to muster up the courage to try again np on the snap ban, socially awkward passive aggressive dudes not allowed in streamchat

Coaching is a pretty sweet thing to do to subsidise my income, but I make no money from streaming or my instagram page, they're both just a lot of fun! Nice try suggesting I'm making a living off of either, my 7bb 100z winrate is enough thank you very much!

I'm fairly certain you don't like me, but thanks I guess.

Sorry to absolutely destroy you right off the bat but I was playing on Party/iPoker up until then and hadn't been on Stars in about 2 years. This is literally all the hands I have at 100z. You've just been utterly rekt straight away cuz.

Also, say I had grinded on Stars in 2015 and 2016 and hadn't beaten 100z for the 7bb I do today, so what? Would your argument genuinely be "AHAHA YOU USED TO BE BAD AT 100Z AND NOW YOU BEAT IT REALLY WELL OMFG". Think about that for a minute.

Reeks of jealousy to me

This is the 3rd time you've stepped to me in this thread and today was the second time I've banned you from my stream. I mean I'm sure we can all agree that you're pretty ****ing obsessed with GazzyB! Not to mention jealous of my small fanbase

Ironic seeing as I can fit my mammoth pipe in between the gap in your mum's teeth.

Moved into this house <24 hours ago, don't worry I'll be a new one soon. It'll probably cost more than your entire bankroll m8. Spare me the "looool I play midstakes" line that's coming, it's clear to see why you are in here trying to bring me down (other than your clear obsession); you bustooooo! Also never mind what I sit on, you should see what your mum sits on!

A lot of regs that were playing 5 years ago have dropped out the game. I'm proud that in this environment I can beat 100z for the clip I do and that I am relevant enough to have haters like you

Now, you can either reply to this post and I'll annihilate you once more, or like last time you can leave with your tail between your legs after yet another spanking by the great Gazzy****ingB

Edit - https://gyazo.com/0867c890468ad3c420bfe68db7fe8ade - y u tryin to be all nicey nicey on twitch chat after being banned but trying to look clever in here? You've been utterly rekt mate!

I'm a very nice guy obv, not a hater yet. Impressive to see how fast you come to save your image though and why would anyone brag about midstakes? Aussies don't have a lot of options poker wise(online). I mean you're playing 100nl and are a charity case surrounded by people a lot better than you, I have guitars worth more than you ***** chill....you aint a baller. Post some real samples and stop pretending to be a crusher to your ''small audience'', you're even dumber than I thought if you're not making any $ off twitch/socials. Mum jokes died a long time ago also you can do better GappyB.

Hate to come across a tad bit xenophobic, but from my experience failed aussie poker players tend to be disproportionately ****ish. Maybe it's because it's such a sporting hotbed so the average aussie who instead turns to poker and then fails is prob a genetically challenged gimp who has to then deal with the realisation that they don't make up for it by being gifted on the felt?

Just a (most likely ******ed) shellysashes crackpot theory of course.

Love you

Sorry to hear you got stiffed, although I am a bit surprised by your naivity in this case, since it is gambling degenerates like the guy you staked that makes up a good % of your paycheck. In this case I think you did the right thing by cutting ties to this guy, and just write it off as a loss. I mean, you knew from the start that he had a gambling problem, and then he did what gambling degens do - lost a bit degening, didn't win at the poker tables, tried to get back to even by gambling more and didn't bink.

You have to realise that what he is saying about gambling to give you your money back is most likely true in his mind, most gamblers are able to rationalise things in these ways. Everything he told you and the way he has reacted and acted are just classical examples of this and, at least in my opinion, says nothing about him as a person - just based on these actions you can't really classify him as a prick/non-prick/scammer/non-scammer etc.

In the future, if you ever enter into staking deals, make sure that the person you stake does not have any history of any sort of compulsive gambling, unless it is a stake for a session/tournament with you at the casino at the same time (then he would have to be an utter degen beyond all saving to attempt some ****, although that isn't unheard of either).

In all seriousness, staking a gambling addict and being surprised that he eventually degens off all/part of your stake is basically like having an alcoholic who has been clean for a week or two going to the shop to buy booze for you and then being surprised when he goes off the rails and drinks your booze himself instead of bringing it home.

And as I mentioned at the start of my post, keep in mind that people like him are to a large extent the same people that pay your bills - that might help you accept the loss mentally. Sure, you can tell yourself that the guy punting of stacks at 10/20 is just a "well-off guy wanting to have fun and splash around", and that might be true, although more often than not he will have some sort of addiction problems - be they severe or mild, but most non-addicts somehow don't blow that kind of money at a poker table "just for fun".

You have $10 to pay for taxi?

You've come in, tried to embarrass me and ended up embarrassing yourself. I genuinely don't understand why so many people have this desire to bring me down. I'm not a great poker player, I'm somewhere between average and good, I like to think I'm a nice guy, it's just so boring having to do this every few weeks. "YOUR GRAPH ONLY HAS 250K HANDS SHOW THE WHOLE THING YOU FAILURE!" just so tiresome and pathetic.



Love you more big guy.

I can't be arsed replying to this bit by bit but it's clear you didn't properly read it. I haven't cut the guy out, I haven't "just written off" the debt, and the bolded part is just lol.

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, dunno if y'all can tell.

Almost like a tasty 2.0 on your hands Gazzy, seems like you draw alot of negative attention for whatever reason... Must be doing something right.

I don't wanna say owned but

lol

so glad I found this thread... thourougly entertaining!!!!
