iggymcfly 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 OMG, I'm a gambling addict. I'm going into therapy this week at some point. I owed my buddy $3,000 going into this week; we started betting, I got even, then I got down $15,500 and we got to the point where I was betting $15,000 on a single hand and if I lost I would have ended up paying him over 30K, but I won the hand and I got even.Still, the betting was ridiculous. I 100% need to talk to a therapist about this shit and get it all squared away; otherwise I'll **** my whole life up. I recognize my problem and I'm definitelt going to work on it.

bdc30 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I could spend all day digging up old (and more recent) iggy posts about him running up insane amounts of money, then unceremoniously pissing it all away only to have to start over yet again (it's not hard to do if you are familiar with the search function) but really, what's the point of pouring salt on the wound. I really hoped that winning the 2p2 hu tourney would be the catalyst that turned things around, but to see him post about betting 15k on a single flipament hand to try and get even makes it obvious that leopards unfortunately don't change their spots.If there is/was anything I or any other true member of the FCP community could do to help this guy, I'm sure we all would do our part. Hell, we've all tried. It's unfortunate. Link to post Share on other sites

bdc30 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 If his buddies were truly douchebags do you not think he woulda booked the 15k win and called it a day?This guy was clearly doing him a favor and writing off the 3k. Link to post Share on other sites
BudBundy 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Sorry if this example comes a bit rude but a heroin addict can't take heroin addiction under control. He just quits or destroys himself. Link to post Share on other sites
whatgreatis 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I've only been a member at FCP since Augest but I've witnessed the recent chapters in Iggys life. Let me tell you, I'm pulling for you to get this under control but you may have to go to a treatment center. You don't want to end up like Sam Grizzle, do you? Link to post Share on other sites

bdc30 0 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Worst part of all this (and I'm not trying to pile on Iggy here) is that he's not even busto this time - was just dangerously close to it yet again.Take this the right way iggy. Nobody here takes any joy in seeing you do this to yourself. Reach out to someone for help man. Pm me if you need to. Don't go down the same self destuctive path. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 iggy, stop gambling without an edge (50/50 isn't an edge). I think that'd help somewhat.Also, I am running at $250/hr over the 50 hours that I've played poker since the beginning of February. It's funny...the faster I win, the less I care to play.

psujonn 0 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 My goals for March:1) Open an account on FCP (SUCCESS)2) Earn the respect and adulation of the FCP community (or at least don't get banned...) (NOT FAILED YET...)3) Become the Featured member of the month for March. This seems unlikely, but is a goal nonetheless. (MARCH ISN'T OVER YET...)4) Not lose money playing nose-bleed penny stakes online (SO FAR... SO GOOD)5) Make at least one regular FCPer chuckle and/or smile (everyone needs a good laugh now and again)6) Annoy no one7) Give psujohn the recognition he deserves for his tireless effort making FCP a better placeand finally...8) Convince everyone that I am *not* in fact psujohn, then throw a couple comments out there to make them doubt their initial assessment.
