my mistake i thought the number was not a direct line to his room and was proving as evidence that he called me. the pic is now deleted. if that really is a direct line to his room please leave him alone....

Obv fake. Baguette prices are, if i remember correctly, nationally regulated to €0.9 in France, so you would never ever pay €2 for one unless youre getting hustled by some mafia baker who likes to illegally sell overpriced baguettes.

actually now that i think about it there is no way thats a direct line to his room. its a line to the front desk. to get to his room you have to ask for it at the front desk... so it must mean someone at the front desk wasnt answering the phone

Don't contact him, don't pay him back, easy as that. If he starts making threads go to the cops.

If this is a true story OP, and I think it may or may not be, I hope you do yourself a favor, and clear your mind by taking a break from drinking. Uncontrolled drinking is not compatible with successful poker or success in general. I hope you get this mess cleared up and fix your relationship with your parents, not just because you might need them to bail you out, but because family is important even if you don’t need their financial help.

ffs it tilts the **** out of me that people can put so much effort in a made up story just because they are so ****ing pathetic, have no friends in real life and crave for a little attention...

dunno if all the people seriously dumb enough to believe this sh*t tilt me even more.

However...this story is very fake!

I didn't know he had a return ticket ready. Would be relatively easy to prove that this story is true if OP wanted. For example, by taking a picture of his flight ticket. However that would be pretty hard since this is fake.

According to your story, you claim to have left the US on 6/5 at 5:30pm and arriving in Nice the following day (6/6) after an 8 hour flight...plus time change...I won't dispute that it was sometime in the AM when you landed.

But in your story...you claim that all of this happened on the 8th day of being there, that would make 6/14. Then you claim that after 5 homeless days you started eating from the trash, etc. Starting with 6/14...5 homeless days would make the 5th day...today 6/18!

Yet you claim to be in NYC after having flown back to the US courtesy of a friend that gave you a credit card number to change the departure of your ticket allowing you to leave.

I also found these other obv. fake posts:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...t=#post4576997

Claiming to have a 6K roll while in Nice on 6/11...LOL

And this post...in which you claim to be renting a "sick apt. by the beach in Nice while getting staked in the 10/10 games"...no mention of Alex here!

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...t=#post4484149

And how you planned on traveling etc.

Anyway you spin it, etc.....your story has a pile of holes in it which can't believed no matter how you try to patch it....the dates don't add up. But then if you try claim them being wrong...then your posts on other 2p2 forums are lies to your means of getting there, Alex, etc. and makes it all sound like you went on your own lost everything and are somehow trying to convince someone to back you.

I've also yet to receive a PM with the NYC hotel info that your "friend" claimed a few pages ago to have since he'd just talked to you!

You been busted...just own up now and take your medicine!

Woah I didn't know you were playing this pot JBS. Now that you raised I think I'm going to have to fold.

i find this story extremely hard to believe, but i find it even harder to believe that OP would go into this detail (making a blog, writing about being in Europe in other post, and writing this long ass story) just for kicks. it makes no sense...wtf would be the point? i cant think of any reason
