Stay Strong Mike, I'm pulling for you.
I don't think Mike wants to become a celebrity. The number of people who would prefer to smack him upside the head will outnumber those who are interested in the human interest angle. I think he's going to get a violent incident at some point.

Had I loaned money to Mike out of decency, only to see him continue to scam and attention seek, I wouldn't want the money back. He probably should seek treatment in a serious manner before one of his victims decides to introduce him to aversion therapy.

Then froggy chimes in (who also started an account since Mike has been banned) and tells us what a celebrity Mike is, since he's now being recognized all over the country. Ok, got it, just trying to keep the "story" straight. Ok Mike, have a nice life. This has become beyond ridiculous. Oh, and I'll wait for my flaming from fish taco next.
lol yeah- now he is having conversations with himself between gimmick accounts.

I'm not trying to being an ******* and disclose his location. Micheal has been (as far as we know) open and honest about his situation. It wouldn't be fair for me to come on here and say what hotel he is in or even that city. I will say that the hotel is not in Vegas, AC, or any "gambling" city. There are Indian casinos within a 30 minute drive and some card clubs around the area.
That's fine. I suppose I could have worded my question better, but you answered what I was looking for — that it wasn't in one of the gambling hubs: Vegas, AC, L.A.

Wilbury. Note the several weeks. His scam involves needing a room for a night, not several weeks.
Oh, I get that. If anything, it further reveals how many different people he hits up to pay for weeks in a hotel, even one with a long-term rate.

This is all why I'm in the camp of those who hope Mike will get better (so he can stop scamming) but also among those who feel little to no sympathy for him (because he's clearly not making any effort to get treatment). This thread is funny because the former group gets accused of being another Mike while the latter gets labeled as a bunch of trolls and haters.

Stay strong, airport travelers.

What if being a huge degen is what makes him happy? As long as he's not hurting anyone else, let the guy live his life.

Maybe the run it up/go broke, become homeless, then hustle, is something that his brain views as a fun game that he likes to play?

I did ask if he had been playing poker in town anywhere and he did mention taking a trip or two to the reservations.
Might has well have just named the city if you are going to give that detailed of a description...

Conference seems to be more MLM related than health related based on a quick google.

he must have found a new scamming location other than an airport. if he only had 3k after the wsop you would be broke prettty quick staying in a 200 per nite hotel and paying to travel there.

ya see the problem with this is that some of us think that him taking hundreds of thousands of dollars off of kind helpful strangers is hurting people, well anyone but a casino owner would think that

so the career con man comes across as a decent guy? you dont say

Mike, if you're reading this, don't listen to the haters, hang in there and stay strong!
08-31-2014 , 08:34 PM
Mike, if you're reading this, you're the kind of scumbag who brings down society by making people not want to help out strangers in need anymore for fear of being scammed.

Stay strong, troll thread.
08-31-2014 , 08:36 PM
Lol @ him asking people for money at an airport being "hurting people"
08-31-2014 , 08:40 PM
He was banned a few weeks ago. I somehow doubt he is reading this.

I attended the health conference. It was in Detroit, Michigan, which is home to several casinos and a surprisingly beautiful airport.
08-31-2014 , 10:38 PM
Who really cares what he's doing saying playing. Enough already. Start this thread again when there is something new to talk about.

Yea, I'm sure he does, because he's a "celebrity". How's it going Mike? Have a nice Labor Day weekend?

Ok, for everyone new to this thread, Mike was banned several weeks ago, but he's made several new accounts. FrogProtection is his newest account.

Lol! Hi Mike. Only an idiot thinks this isn't you. You may be a smart guy, but you've given away too many obvious clues that this is you. However, like pretty much everyone else on here, I've gotten pretty bored with you and this thread. Hope you enjoyed your 15 minutes of fame, I think it's at the 15 minute mark just about now.....
