The point here is most gambling addicts act depressed, remorseful etc when they screw up or lose money, regardless whether genuine or not, speaking from personal experience.
This guy did none of this and doesn’t even recognise the wrong he has done and clearly doesn’t care about his friends, this is what makes him a prick and not a victim.
You know you can suffer from gambling addiction and still be a bad person? Being one doesn't stop you from being the other...
Facts, the sad person is people normally will give that person the benefit of the dout because of said "addiction" and then continue to be taken advantage of before coming to terms with them not only being a addict but also a scumbag.
You've a cheek to claim anyone was owned after Bobo Fett's utter utter destruction of you in this thread where it was proven you were using several accounts to vouch for yourself and try to get a stake...

Damn, that story is exactly why I never stake/loan money to people (both in general and in the poker world). That's the rule, but there of course exceptions. In general it's just not worth the stress unless there's a big financial upside.
If somebody needs a stake, they're typically either not very good at poker, or have life leaks/poor money management. Very few winning players without major leaks would need a stake, unless it was something like an unexpected medical cost, or wanting to jump into a juicy high stakes game.
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.
Haha thanks boss, no more negative vibes tho, see below!

Yeah I can't agree more with this.

I agree with what you say, and I still agree with the bolded, but this guy was/is a good poker player, his methods were successful, so if he hadn't degenned it would've worked out well in the long run, and if we recover the full $ then we still turn a pretty penny!

First things first, I have been arguing back and forth with Rich Checkmaker in his thread a lot lately. I started reading his latest efforts at me, but I stopped reading when he wrote "why did this guy do this and YOU had to move out?" If anyone read the story properly they'd see that the house literally belongs to the horse and it's not mine. Anyway at that point I decided to stop reading Rich's thread, it's just sad. I'll no doubt see Rich in LA, I'm sure he'll have some things to say, looking forward to it still. But no more negative vibes by reading toxic 2p2 threads
Yesterday's graph...
That upswing at around 1k hands was absolutely amazing, stream was so good at that point. I was "mock celebrating" every time I won a stack...
...and within 5 mins of that upswing I was literally exhausted
Played the $109 PKO and had a healthy stack at one point but played a hand that I'm really unsure about vs a rec...
Poker Stars, $100 Buy-in (350/700 blinds, 90 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 8 Players Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.
River: (48,732) 7 (2 players)
MP2 bets 20,874 and is all-in, Hero folds
Spoiler:
Results: 48,732 pot
Final Board: 9 6 4 A 7
MP2 mucked and won 48,732 (25,161 net)
Hero mucked K K and lost (-23,571 net)
...I think raise/gii flop is an option, fold turn is an option, call riv is an option. No reads on villain other than he's a loose pre 1 tabling rec. Happy to hear thoughts.
Anyway bricked that and bricked the $22 4max (fired 4 bullets total, only sold for 1 so obv I lose the other 3 myself )
Schedule for today is the $22 freezeout and the $55 PKO 3max zoom, will stream em both! Hopefully start the stream at 4pm and go right the way through

PS - the guy that stole money from me and my mate to gamble on Indonesian football FTd a £100 tournament in London last night, haven't heard a word from him since yesterday morning...

Think it may be time to go pay your good ol' pal a visit then. Good luck on recovering that money though (no sarcasm)
