Begging for $ at the rail - it works!
 
Fortunately I am less of a down-and-out than I used to be, but a year and a half ago I would spend the days railing the medium/high stakes games on the 24h/B2B network of poker sites and I would be very chatty on the rail of the tables I was watching. And, inevitably, I would ask the big players to transfer me 10 or 20 Euros and promise to pay them back. You'd be surprised the number of times it worked - at least 10 different players sent me this sum, some of them lots of times. I nearly always paid them back, usually within the day since I'd win a few pots and ship it back.

I was begging since I didn't have a job or any income other than what I could get from selling old books and CDs on Amazon, I didn't have any bank cards, and yet I was a sick compulsive gambler with a powerful urge to play.

These days I have a job and pay my own way, thank God. Any money I lose is my own.

Have you ever begged? Have you ever given money to a table beggar? Do you think all observer chat should be banned to discourage it?

Hi Jim,

I have never begged, however I might start now.
Think you can wire me some funds so I can start playing poker on the internets?

Im leveling here. I dont want to start playing on the internets.

1) Underage
2) Hopelessly addicted losers
3) Mike Matusow

Why do you hate me?
You dont even know me.
Normally someone knows me for about 15 minutes before they hate me [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
