Best chance in these situations to get repaid is for him to play poker and get paid in chunks when he goes on good runs. Yes, poker and a job would be best, but those saying he shouldn't play poker are delusional. If he gets a job at 12/hour, how much of that 1960/month will actually be able to go to repayment? 300? That'd take him 4 years to repay it back
Let's be realistic here
Yep.

for all we know this was like 15 buyins or maybe less. I realize 15k is a lot of money but taking the dollar amount out of context and thinking it's proof he can't make money at poker in the future is kinda silly.

my biggest question is, him and yellow sub were always like real buddy buddy. why didn't he just have him pay the 15k to save his reputation and pay back him privately with interest or something. its crazy the poker circle he was in, he can't resolve this without ruining himself. unless he burned bridges with those guys
I'm surprised by this as well. Seems like anyone who trusts him enough to stake him at this point would have bailed him out of this mess and saved his rep.
obv not trying to defend any aspect of what he did, I just think a lot of people are looking at this situation and thinking he automatically sucks at poker etc whereas I suspect his hourly at poker (with proper backing) is probably at least 2x whatever it would be at a real job and quite likely higher.
