I figured as much. You're one of those guys that never gets it all in with bottom pair, but instead always seems to have a set. You're a nut player and as such aren't an authority figure on gambling. Nut players are worse than hit and runners. If you were at my table me and some middle-aged rich guys would verbally accost you.

Do you have research for this or is it personal opinion? My anecdotal experience is pretty much in line with this except I have encountered a lot of persistent hardcore offenders that are indeed know to the police but unfortunately are only in prison a small amount of the time.

Sorry for the last 15 posts not being up to par....We are waiting for mike to be unbanned and hopefully give a progress report. Can anyone explain what it means if a tournament player is "playing 5k comps" ?

Not only are you wrong, you are completely asinine. Intelligent people don't preach moderation in gambling and drinking because of the attributes of gambling and drinking, they preach moderation in all things, because going to the extreme in any facet of life is almost always destructive.

As an aside, moderate drinkers live longer and are healthier then people who don't drink at all. This is a scientific fact. That means abstaining from drinking isn't safe or harmless - its harmful. Not only is drinking in moderation better for you then abstaining, drinking heavily is also better then abstaining.

So put that in your pipe and smoke it (in moderation).

It had been 'bout 2 days since you last posted. What's the beef with folks who discuss addicts' expected behavior in the interim ? The thread seems back on focus now ....

(The thread is about Mike's criminal activity, aside from you no one seems to think it is "Mike's thread". I expect that folks might be waiting for an update once Mike does or does not appear for his scheduled arraignment on a criminal trespass charge on August 21, see above post of the paperwork ...)

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Yes, but some activities lead to addiction more readily.

The results of this study are interesting, but I'd have to know much more about it before putting too much stock in it.

I'll take your word for that. Did it ever lead you to a life of criminal activity,, anything germane to this thread ?

I'm also all for closing this thread, but only once PSUAllen Kessler has posted again.(yes, he went there too) 
He has been very quiet since the latest scam came to light. 
 
I want to know what he really thinks he is going to achieve by holding PSUMike's future winnings (lol). The plan he mentioned was to hold the money and to drip feed him enough for food and accommodation only, in an attempt to stop him gambling it all away again. 
 
Despite the noble intent, this would of course only result in PSUMike continuing to scam to feed his Pai Gow habit.

The reason I have not commented is because I feel it is unfair to do so when the subject of the thread is banned from responding.

Hello Doublejoker,

In your agreement with Borovetz, do you get a cut for staking him/holding his money?

i dont think this cat is staking mike and he is only holding the money (if any) to protect mike...all of this is all theoretical......also...i have to agree that banning mike does not seem fair...people should only be banned for profanity or other bad stuff...not for tellung the truth or giving their opinion....and to say m
ke is being banned because he might scam someone on this site is laughable.
