Re: Bluescouse busto!
I think he is more likely to become homeless than he is to have a winning month. I am a sick degenerate compulsive poker player myself and have lost every penny I've put in; I see myself in Bluescouse, only on a grander scale since he wins more than I do. When you have this sickness it warps your brain; where once you're happy playing for £2,000, soon you have to play for £8,000 or £20,000 or £80,000 to get the same buzz. I used to be happy on the $50 buy-in games; now I play the $400 buy-in with no bankroll, just blowing through my salary. Like Bluescouse, I'll never be a long-term winner. I can't believe he didn't withdraw more of the money he had left in his account, but I understand also how he couldn't. It's all gambling money to him. And he doesn't seem to care that those he's playing are infinitely better players than him, and so much better rolled.
Having said that, I really do think he should give Full Tilt a try.
