this pretty much

it's just like every other untalented liar or writer of fiction, no grasp of how certain people ACTUALLY act in certain situations, and no attention to detail

ya i know it's ZOMG 20 SOMETHING SHORT PARAGRAPHS ZOMG TL;DR but there really are no essential details here

Bro wtf are 'book smarts'? Does that mean like you read a book once? If you have you'd probably see why this story is so implausible.

Just drop the dime, or buy a gun. And bullets don't forget those.

Killer said "that's it!" he called off all his fights, and he started doing crack, and he freaked out. Then in a rage, he collapsed, and his heart no longer beat. wow.

Well, that's my only problem, it's not a very good story nor is it very well written. That's all.

It's not like anybody should bear him any ill will, I certainly don't mind reading a bunch of made-up crap. They're called works of fiction.

The other three stories were obviously levels.

Great, kick a guy in the nuts while hes down.

That still doesn't change my situation at all and just adds to the bleeding

Chump, obviously theres no quick fix or life saving scheme. Regardless of whether I was scammed for the 30k or not, I still owe the guy 5k+.

At this point, I'm just looking for advice on a) how I can turn my life around and b) what I should do about paying Alex back the supposed stolen amount of 30k. Once again, many people think I was scammed and I have no way to verify the actual amount stolen

Yeah, first thing everyone thought when they read your story about blowing stake money and stealing what you didn't lose was "SOUNDS LIKE A WINNER, BETTER STAKE THIS KID".

lol @ everyone debating the moral/legal issues of this bull**** fake story.

get a bartending job, or a waiter. or inside sales, outside sales, or telemarketing, anything that pays decent, construction, etc...

get 2 jobs, work 80 hours a week. stay away from poker for now. are you going back to school in the fall?

i think ive finally figured out what i would do. i would work 80hrs a week and pay this guy back 8k as fast as humanly possible. after i have paid back 8k i would make a request to alex, asking him to forgive the rest of the debt based on the fact that the 30k was never stolen and if it was it was an inside job and not your fault.

this is your best and only option imo.

Your story has more plot holes than the latest Indiana Jones movie.

NoLimitLeagues is a ****in genius and I really don't want to stop the rock, but on the off-chance even some parts of this are true, please stop listening to him. He's just getting you worked up with a taste of your own medicine. I wouldn't worry about a two-bit hustler on the other side of the globe.

Cables, thats the exact opposite of what they thought. Instead, they thought- Man this kid is a degen, he was dishonest, screwed over a guy who was trying to help him out (debatable) etc etc. Why would someone EVER stake him.

Do u see my point now?

Whenever honesty is a problem there's a problem with something other than honesty.

Show me the ---ch! Most airlines charge a $100 or slightly more to change flight times, depending on what airline you fly on....$129 is very possible Europe to U.S.

However...this story is very fake!

Chump, I appreciate your opinion and honestly it might be true. If this guy is as financially well of as he says he is (which I have no reason not to believe), then whats 30k to him.

Has no one ever heard of renters insurance? And did Alex file a police report after the break in?

This story is so stupid I can't believe some of you guys are actually falling for it.

Nolimitleagues' obsession with this story is quite disturbing also IMO. I bet he is tossing and turning in his bed wondering if the OP emailed Alex to ask if he can pay him 5-8k yet.

Alex actually refused to go to the cops after the break in. I immediately spoke up and said "I'm 100% innocent, lets go to the cops with this". He responded with "Thats not the way, I handle things and thats not the way its going to work".

As for renters insurance, I highly doubt that it covers stolen cash

lol, jbizz, if you read carefully there are many reasons this story is definitely true, i feel bad for the OP, he got scammed hard core. im just trying to help a fellow poker player. sounds like he doesnt have many people to give him good advice, smart of him to seek out advice
