Brandon's ****ed up drastically here, and his posting ITT hasn't helped his cause. All he ought to have done is express his contrition and offer a clear plan as to how he'll resolve it. He couldn't resist lashing out at some observers, and that's quite stupid given his situation.

But...

Many observers itt are just ******s. Most who know Brandon know he's a fundamentally nice/smart kid with a stupid/degenerate streak. Most of those who are owed money realise that their chances of repayment are increased by positively engaging him. Nobody with a brain thinks random idiots posting insults and judgements will help anyone in any way. This is why posters like andrewga are getting a hard time; they simply offer no prospect of anything positive and are at best a distraction and at worst a detriment.

Suboxone

If people don't want random idiots making judgments or otherwise commenting then when they get scammed they should post it somewhere else. There is a reason why these threads get posted here versus some of the other sub-forums, despite some of the perceived drawbacks.

Brandon, best of luck for you getting your life in order and fight your demons. I deeply respect that you had the courage needed to show up here, and not just got lost.

You have a long, hard and often seemingly purposeless way ahead, and you will struggle and sometimes lose all faith. That's ok as long as you remember that you have nothing to lose and everything to win, and as long as you don't give up but get back on track.

I can't express how much I wish you all the best, please make it true!

You have no clue. You are the worst poster in nvg by far, and I really hoped you'd actually sometimes took a step back and used your brain before posting. You really like to talk down to anyone you think is inferior to you. That says all about your character.

I have a lot more respect for drug addicts and woman choosing to make a living as an escort, as for people like you who get off on bashing them.

You, Sir, are half voyeur, half chauvinist. It's actually a joke that you complain about something you think is a swastika.

Could everyone who isn't owed money by Brandon please calm down a bit. You aren't helping the situation and I fear the more you make terror the less the chance I actually get my money back.

It's sad to hear that Brandon has such massive problems but that shouldn't be an excuse for his actions. However at least he replied here and I have some hope that things can be worked our although I am very interested how Brandon wants to do that. Some guys really need the money sooner than later. It's also a lot for me so yeah right now I just hope he keeps his word and we will hear from him on monday.

Lol. So much this. Actually, i think i know why...

Brandon,

I lost my mother at an earlier age and have gone through many hardships myself. My only advice is to live your life the way that she would be proud of and make right of any situations that'd give your family a bad name. I think the first correct step, which you shown, is exhibiting vulnerability and leaning on any support that's around.

Take care.

This is like the drama queen screaming 'Why does the drama follow me?! I do nothing to attract it!!!'.

Not a single thread you've posted in has been helped by your bitter responses. Instead they make you look like an ******* - as franxic says, you seem to get off on talking down to people you find inferior to yourself. I know it'd crush your ego to consider that everyone else may be right, but:

pm me some offers.

+1. Will need any confirmation from both parties (you and BB) on the amount, how it was accrued, etc.

Don't care if people think this is predatory. I'm at least offering solutions that others aren't.

Depends where you jump on the payout line if you buy the debt.

Congrats TT_fold, you managed to do the impossible and come off worse than CompleteDonk in this thread. You two are like identical twins when it comes to your internet personas being intolerable egomaniac douches, not surprising you used to be best skype buddies.

GL to all parties involved, even you CompleteDonk. Given how annoying you've always been attacking random people heap praising yourself it's not very easy to not throw more fuel to the fire, but I hope you come to your senses and make this right. It does indeed seem like you are one of the few people that have a reasonable chance to clear a debt even this huge because you can beat midstakes in your dreams or so I've been told. If you get depressed try to think 5 years ahead in time, "if I do this right is anyone even going to care about what I did in 2018?". And don't rush it, people can be predatory but historically 99% of these cases no one's ever got paid back, so pepople will silently accept even if it takes time and I'm sure they'd prefer you clearing it the hard way grinding 200NL or something instead of a higher risk solution.

I'm eagerly awaiting you to clean this mess just so I can rip on you in your well, the situation seems too tender now

I'm sorry Chuck, I'm a straight shooter.

I don't need to exaggerate my exploits as a tournament poker player so that blog readers will want to live vicariously through me. At least I get it somewhat quietly... that's more than you can say.

I might not be likable, but you are the last person who should be casting aspersions on me.

Me too.

I didn't even know TT had a bad rep...last I remember he used to be a mod? (or am I remembering that wrong)

One thing I've learned from this thread is that andrewga is a way worse person than CompleteDonk. Back the **** off, the guy has admitted his mistakes pretty plainly. It's not that surprising that he lashed out a little at a guy that was prodding him, not many people respond well to being kicked while they're down.

GL Brandon. Only constructive feedback I can give is that I hope you're actively seeking help and not just trying to white-knuckle sobriety.

Recovery from addiction is extremely difficult on your own. I'll be unbiased and won't suggest any one recovery program, but at the very least see some sort of addiction expert (if support groups aren't for you)

Meh, don't know how much he is doing etc. I cold turkeyed and would not have had it any other way.
EDIT: I had people I could count on though.

I'm going to just flat out say it, this is bad advice

It wasn't exactly advice, what you were giving was advice. A bit interested in why you think it is bad though...

Wow this thread started off with a terrible topic and then just descended into hell.

Steal money and come into thread about you and apologize blame some demons and it's okay you're back on the right path make good. The reason people keep scamming poker community is there is never any recourse other than a smeared name. To some people that is nothing for a few thousand dollars kinda sad. Gl people getting money back.

I've had my struggles with the same substance and it is much better to taper, even without a doctor's assistance. It's the most sustainable way to get clean and stay clean. I self-tapered off Xanax successfully!

cool story ricky

thread isnt about you!
