If your life is so great and amazing how about showing some compassion or try to help someone out instead of hiding behind a computer talking ****.

Mike has more balls than most of you because at least he came here and faced the **** storm instead of running and hiding like most of you would have done.

in before "hi Mike"...come up with something original losers

So someone with cancer, who uses no one , is the same as Mike, who uses everyone? Even if he has a disease, he has the CHOICE not to use people and lie his way through life. You really think Mike came on here because he has balls, rather than coming on here to cover his ass and try to save what's left of his con?
Oh, and how do you think I should help Mike? This thread is full of people who tried to help Mike, and how did that work out? I'll be eagerly awaiting your intelligent response.

I agree with those that think what JP did was wrong, but what did Mike expect when he allowed JP to get involved in his business? He should have known better.

Yoda, I'd bet you have some mental issues as well the way you have constantly harassed mike. I guess this thread is your therapy where you get to come in here and feel like you are so much better than Mike.

If he has a disease - some mental disorder specifically - he does not have the abilty to make the "choice" you reference. Asking someone with a mental illness to think rationally is going to frustrate you rather quickly.

+1. Your answer is better than mine. I wish everyone would stop enabling and feeling sorry for someone who chooses not to get help. No matter what problem you have, you can always choose to get help.

The amateur, internet psychologists are still doing work itt? They actually manage to be worse to read than I am sure Mike is to listen to run his scam.

Not necessarily. To "choose to get help" requires you to be thinking rationally, and this may not be possible for someone with a mental illness.

As you're smart enough to know, the vast majority of people with mental disorders are harmless. To compare the compulsions of these two mosters to a homeless beggar in an airport is beneath you.

Not defending MB btw. While it's reasonable to suspect he has a problem, like everyone else I have no idea what's going on in his head. It's the insensitivity to mental illness itt that is way more troubling that what he's accused of doing imo.

Maybe its not a insensitivity to mental illness. Maybe its just an insensitivity to this particular individual.

You both make way too much sense, you are no longer permitted in this thread. Good posts detract from the cesspool this thread has become. You know it's time to shut it down when psuMike doesn't seem like the most disturbed person in it.

Fair enough! Maybe he deserves the hate. Post 3381 was a response to a satement about someone with a "disease" though. Sorry for the derail

Yeah but they are a lot less hard on the wallet.

So many idiots itt defending, excusing and applauding a serial d-bag.

One of the best threads ever at shining a light on the losers of the poker world and their deformed logic.

Not many occasions you can thank clueless morons for performing a public service......well done.....bravo......take a bow.....heck, take two.

Please stop making excuses for him. So I guess we can just say any criminal is incapable of thinking rationally and cannot choose to get help, since they all must have a mental illness to commit their crimes. Quit being an enabler.

Only in the poker world can scumbags like Chino, E-Dog, and Mike not only survive but thrive. The comments on here supporting Mike and making excuses for his behavior don't surprise me at all.

Maybe so, but there's something about this guy that really pisses me off. Probably just reminds me of others I've known just like him.

Haven't read this thread in a few days and now reading from most recent-->oldest.

I thought the 'what Mike does is not a crime/no big deal/Mike, you rock/anyone dissing my hero Mike is a troll' was indication the thread was in a rut.....

Now I find not only that Mike has been scamming all along (I know, surprise!) but that he has posted some of his most epic lines ever:

And what has to be the most awesome post so far:

This thread keeps paying off like a corrupted slot machine.

Mike just pretends to have a disease so he does not feel bad about his scamming.

If he honestly thought he had a disease he would go to rehab.

His intent all along is to keep playing.
