Re: Staking LuckyJimm - is this fair?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Jim you seem like a geniune guy i wish you robusto. So many haters here unfortunately. [/ QUOTE ] Are you a high stakes player? Then this sentiment would make a lot more sense. [/ QUOTE ] I grind for a living at lower stakes. I think players like Jim are great for the poker economy and i can't figure out why everyone wants to turn him away. After reading his blog, i am slightly saddened by him also.

Re: Staking LuckyJimm - is this fair?
[ QUOTE ]
he is playing for fun [/ QUOTE ] Also, this isn't really true. If I was playing for fun I would deposit an affordable amount that didn't interfere with my life. As it is, I don't know where lunch is coming from. "He is playing because he is addicted and unwilling to help himself" would be more accurate.

Re: Staking LuckyJimm - is this fair?
[ QUOTE ]
jimm i will say this tho, it doesnt take any skill at all to 'spin up' money, i mean ive seen people spin up $20 -> thousands at pokie machines and then lose it. just do it, have fun and dont kid yourself. [/ QUOTE ] Of course that's a bad analogy since I was playing against other players, not a machine. A better analogy would be to say a big spin-up is like accumulating a huge stack in a tournament. You need some luck, you need to play well - in short, you need to run good. You can't usually get there without both the luck and the ability. Jerry Yang excluded.

Re: Staking LuckyJimm - is this fair?
Anyway the staking deal never came off. The idea had been the guy would send me £25 ten times, on the basis that at least one of those times I would have a good spin-up and be able to pay him back and make a profit. Well, the guy sent me £50 one time which I lost, and then decided I was some sort of degenerate compulsive gambler - which of course he knew from the start - and having promised to send me more money on Friday, infuriatingly changed his mind and got all [censored] moral on me. Oh, and the kind gentleman from Chicago sent me $150 midweek which sadly I tilted away. So when I play it will be my own money.
