The actual moral of the story:

-proper bankroll management
-don't gamble with money you do not have and/or absolutely can't afford to lose

You ought to be embarrassed!!! It's because on NUMB NUTZ like you that the rest of us pay higher interest rates for credit & financing...

You realize that when you pull a stunt like this, you're nothing but a crook!!!

This guy has never heard of personal responsibility, and he never will.

He bounces checks, uses credit he doesn't have, gambles stupidly and then what is his solution? Go running to the government to bail him out with bankruptcy.

He's filth.

Run up more debt before filing.

Maybe deposit to a different site and try to win it back. If you do, then dont file.

This is the obvious solution.

I totally agree. What does he have to lose? Even if he loses all the $ from his credit cards, he still goes bankrupt and still suffers equal consequences. Nothing to lose. Brilliant.

I don't think online poker is to blame for ruining your life. If you think it is, obviously you havne't read what you wrote.

I hope you you don't drive a car, drink alcohol, smoke, use a gun, etc

because those things are worse than gambling. They take your money AND kill you.
