The final word on Vig: the truth

And, as I've stated, it's absurd to encourage or allow such charitable drives to be conducted over BBV, as they are destined to end badly more often than not. What's done is done, Gild and BBV learned its lesson, and that's all.

Dids,

I agree, and there are not gonna be any more BBV donation threads on my watch, even of the '$5 to make me eat my own poop' variety.

barry greenstein gets to be an exception, due to the fact that he is barry greenstein. I'm also open to the idea of stuffing all future 'I will eat poop for $5' threads into their own special thread that I personally will never read or care about. no further bbv donation threads are ever going to take place while I am modding bbv.

fwiw, this is despite the fact that I would also have allowed the original vig post to stand. live and learn.

Everyone:

If you had an ailing wife and child to support, and were broke, consider a list of ways you might utilize to try and get them help. Then tell me how far down that list publicly appealing to fellow BBVers is.

yeah really, Medical Care is very very expensive, I would be devoting everything to getting a health care plan. Working 2 jobs whatever. Not playing poker, or begging.

sorry to be redundant but I really cant get over how sick this is. He has a baby whose entire life he might have just ruined. Imagine growing up and not remembering you mothers face just because your father decided to be a d-bag and valued gambling more than someone elses life.

I would appreciate it if those of you that are super good players would add him to your buddy list. Even if it is a fraction of your normal limit. Make it a point for him to play at some nasty tough tables. Hopefully you guys could break him.

someone needs to set up a perimeter around the drama bomb.

thousands could be dead within the hour

Please dont get rid of 5$ for funny things tho, thats not begging or donating it's just funny. C'mon you gotta see the differance.

If it were wife/gf. i wouldnt hesitate to shelve my pride and beg to save their life. I would be doing all the other things i possibly could as well, but i would poop in a bag or do anything to save them.
