What a shame...deep in a turbo

In the interest of full disclosure, Nick approached me the other day about a small stakes staking deal to assist him in paying me back the money he owes me, and help him pay back Entim.

I was satisfied with the terms, and felt this definitely offered the best chance of me getting paid back the money he owes, plus gives him a chance to pay back others he won't the chance to otherwise.

As of now, Entim is the only person who has contacted me about Nick still owing him money, and if others do come out of the woodwork I will work with Nick the best I can to make sure everyone is getting payments as long as he is winning money. I think it goes without saying that if anything bad happens during this stake, I'll let everyone know ASAP.

I know it's fun to harass him at the tables and troll him ITT, and I'm not going to take away your fun. But it is important to keep in mind that hoping for him to lose at this point only hurts those people who he needs to pay back. It's been that way for a while now.

Was wondering why he was suddenly searchable. Oh well, good luck with your stake. Hope it doesn't end badly for you.

Yeah, we just started up last night, fwiw.

I hope so too. I know lots of people have no faith in Nick but he's always been honest with me and that's why I've allowed others to be paid back before me. Hopefully that doesn't come back to bite me in the ass.

Seriously?

wow thats some epicly bad decision making right there. Staking is all about trust and u pick a guy who got his own homepage made by Admo. just wow

Yeah, well, that's just your opinion man.

Yeah that's just your completely logical and correct opinion man.

ZB why haven't you asked Nick who still needs to be paid?

wow lol @ staking a proven scumbag scammer

he should get a ****ing job like the rest of the world who cant win at poker.

I'm sorry, but if Nick needs to be staked at small-stakes SNGs at this point....maybe he just isn't very good?

[] Nick Rainey can't win at poker

It's fairly standard for busto rollers to get staked by people in order to pay back but there ovb has to be an element of trust.

ZBTHorton ovb seems to think he knows Nick better than anyone else and that Nick will not **** him over. TBH it would be kinda hard to **** him over unless he binked a huge score and then rolled it. ZBTHorton ovb has good intentions, he is tryna recover money for people, all the mockery for his decision (that's just like, totally your opinion man!) to stake him is stupid. On the surface to us it does look like a terrible decision, but ZBT ovb knows something we don't.

Yeah staking him seems like a bad decision but I'm sure ZBHorton is aware of what we would tell him in regards to that decision. Hope it turns out for the best.

I have a sense that this is not going to end well. lol

one of the most ignorant comment ever. People who work in the real world are way more important then us lowly professional poker players. All we do is steal value from each other; We don't produce nothing. Don't think of yourself so highly because you can beat a game of cards. Sometimes there is more important things in this world then money.

i have a job and not real fond of scammers

maybe i shoulda scammed ppl and moved to canada after ftp stole my br

I have. He says he owes Entim money and that's it. All of the other people have been paid back, most with interest.

I'm not real worried about him losing at the stakes his deal is for.

Yes, seriously.

I staked Nick for several months Pre-BF. He was probably the single best horse I've ever had in regards to balance updating, asking for permission to play things even slightly out of regulations, volume(obviously) and other horse related things.

When things began to go badly for him around WSOP time, he was always straight up with me and never lied about the situation. He told me he messed up, but didn't mean to, and that he'd do everything he could to pay people back ASAP. He planned to move to Canada, grind micro limits, and pay everyone back as soon as he could, which is appears he has done.

After paying some people back, it appears he's gone on a downswing and it would be beneficial for both parties if I backed him to try and help him finish the job off.

what word is "ovb" supposed to be?

also, for god's sake change your avatar.

ah the old "yeah THOSE people got scammed but he'd never do that to me i'm smarter than that" response

seriously though, i've been responding with some snarky comments, but the point im trying to make is that clearly noone should stake him right now and probably in the future ever again.

It's not really, pretty sure his chat is switched off, ive tried several times.
