LMFA & ROFL @ 1000$ Life savings (in the US that is.... ).... if you suck that bad at life, gamboling is the least of your worries !!!!


[/ QUOTE ]

right , but if 1000$ is all you have to your name, what on earth would make you take it all to a casino? That doesn't seem like a gambling problem to me, but rather being just plain stupid !!!! (And I have a hard time feeling sorry for people that behave like that. So I think it is safe to assume that they make the same quality decisions in the rest of their lifes) And yes I do feel sympathetic towards people that get into tough spots by acts of god / accidents... but those are not the type of people that take life savings to Casions....

.... but then on second thought.... maybe that is part of the gamboling problem.. I really don't know anymore (and will just STFU)

How many times has Matusow won big & gone bust, having to borrow to pay the rent? I've lost count.

How hard is it to open up a poker site and find someone who is spewing off the remainder of his/her bankroll while on tilt?

Is it my imagination, or do the poker books tell us to seek out the weak and pounce on those who are on tilt? Steer away from the tough games and seek the meek.


That is why, on High Stakes Poker, players paid Matusow 5k to not leave. That is why, the others don't whine when Farha goes on a run, as they know it's coming back sooner or later.

Some are sicker than others. I guess when Farha stated in 2003 that he needed to win against Moneymaker to break even for the trip, that was cool, since he's a millionaire and can afford it.

If you dress really nice, look cool rolling a cigarette in your mouth and drop 2.5m, that's cool.

But if you're on welfare, and spend $20 a month on lottery tickets, as that's the only way out of the gutter, cause you were born to a crack head mother and have limited skills with a low I.Q., well that's sick and disgusting.
