ClarkGrswld4 0 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 you need to do 1 of 2 things....plan A is tell your dad and hope he can bail you out of this jam for the time being until you can pay him back or plan B is to get a part time job and work out some type of payment plan with Stars and Tilt(I don't know if they do or would be willing to do this)I think Plan B would be ideal if it is feasible as every hour that you work at that job, it would remind you of the mistake you made so that you do not make it againgood luck Link to post Share on other sites

All I really want is Pstars to stop trying to get the money, but after a million e-mails, all they said is that they will keep collecting the funds once a month. If it is not there, then I get the bank charges and the following month they will try to collect it again. So it is a lose lose situation for me now, unless I come up with the money right away. Trust me, however I get the money I will be working to pay it back and I will be reminded everyday of my life. Thanks for your response. Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Maple 0 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Thanks man.I have ran good a lot. My problem is I can't stop when ahead. I am a complete screw up. I ran my bankroll up to 6K once. And the next day lost it. Thanks though. You are really supportive and I do not mean to share my life story with you. Just trying to figure out where I went wrong. I know I will gain from this but this is the worse feeling ever. Good luck to you man. Thanks again.This shows us all the importance of bankroll management. I feel for you man, I really do. I hope you get your finances straight and continue with life. Let this be a learning curve. Also, as the guys say, you must inform your parents if not maybe your grandparents will help you out and stay hush hush. Best of luck bro. Link to post Share on other sites

Of course they don't need it, and either do the pokersites. But they still want the money and there is no way around it.I did call my Dad. It was the toughest thing I have had to do in quite sometime, but like most of you have said I definitely feel a weight off my shoulder. He is going to get me some help, which maybe I need but I feel that this was enough to make me realize how retarded I am. As for how we are going to fix the situation he does not know yet. Thanks all for your kind thoughts. I know I will not be playing poker for a long time. I will come back to poker though, because it is a great game. And if anybody is interested in coaching, or just helping out, please let me know because just for the fun of the game I want to learn. Thanks all and good luck to everyone.

Paul Brevard 0 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 First, everyone is 100% correct to tell you to admit it to your dad. He may not have the money, but he might have an idea on how to get a loan. You need to brainstorm to find out where you can raise the money quick. Ebay, garage sale, tutor some other students (not in poker) whatever you can get some quick cash. The carwash was actually a good idea. Stand outside with a sign saying "Put a sucker through College!" or "Will work for College Funding!". Gotta get creative my friend. If you really want to learn how to play, I would offer this advice and it's all free. Watch players like Bigd play limit. Watch Fluff, no not baxter, or any number of great players here play online. Watch them use the money that they do have instead of spending the money you don't have. You'll be amazed at the skill you'll pick up. I am happy with live poker and did this with guys like Daniel, Alex Outhred, Scotty, and several other pros until I realized that I needed to be watching guys that I would play against so I watch local players and it brought me to a new level. Also stick with the strat forum here. These guys give some of the best advice you can ever find on the strat forums. Find your niche in poker and then go to that section here and indulge. They may bust your chops on the general poker forum, but they'll give you better advice here than you can find on most sites you pay for. Now, if you can't give it up you need to stick with freerolls. Use some of the points you made to do some sng's for the $250000 tournament. I play the 210 point game and use the $11 tournament dollars to play other smaller tournaments. Some great stories out there about people like Annette Obrestad that did things similar to that. If you do play cash later, play the .01/.02 games until you crush them. It's like playing 1/2 in a casino. I've seen guys that thought they were crushing 1/2 in a casino and realized that 1/2 is like 10/20 online. I can crush local live tournaments, but if I were to play online too much, I might as well send them a donation and save my time. I don't have the chops for online play and I play 5-6 live tournaments a week. It's just two different animals to me and I am too old to hang with these kids online. They are way too advanced for my conservative play. When you hit 40, you find yourself sitting in a casino with the other old fat guys talking about how smart Glenn Cozen was back in 1993 for taking second in the Main Event. Enjoy being young. If you were 40 and wrote that you needed help because you did this, they simply write, "You're going to jail!"Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites

mrpaddyx 13 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 To pick up on 2 points others have said which I think are worth repeating. 1st is Bank Roll management. This is something all poker players should be acutely aware of. No matter how good you are if you can't control how much you play with in relation to what you can afford, you will go broke at some point. I can't emphasize enough how important roll mangement is. 2nd - If you are still going to play poker (which I don't think you should FWIW), stick to freerolls and fpps tourneys. I know of players on this site who have never invested a dollar and have a healthy bankroll. With a lot of hard work it is possible to built a roll from scratch (and if you lose it you haven't really lost anything that was important to you). Link to post Share on other sites
SGFULTON83 0 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 With a lot of hard work it is possible to built a roll from scratch (and if you lose it you haven't really lost anything that was important to you).Busting a roll you built from scratch stings 10x as much as if you just deposited to get started. I know from experience, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites
psufans2 1 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 in one of ur orig posts u said something abt playing baseball... i know that this may be important to u but if u are not getting some form of scholarship or aide because of it or have pro type potential i would recommend giving it up for a while...it will help with additional time to get a job and also may free up money u were spending on equipment and the sort.

1pistolpete1 0 Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Quick question regarding...QUOTE (serge @ Friday, October 2nd, 2009, 4:09 PM) *If you owe the money to the pokersites...Screw em..I dont think they can report it on your credit bureau..Ivey and Ferguson wont miss the $2500bingo cancel bank acount and open a new one at differant place get job and pay em back when you can afford it and are ready to be a professional poker player again.All except for the ready to become a professional poker player again, is this option viable?To all who have told me to let my father know, I have done that. It was the hardest thing I had to do and although he said he was upset with me, he tried to be as supportive as possible. He did let me know he has screwed up before, but never as bad as I have money wise which made me feel a little worse.I have put a heavy burden on him now, for he is now getting kicked out of his house and looking for an apartment and I brought more on him then needed. I am looking for advice here on the above statements involving the poker sites. I do not think that it is the right thing to do, but for the situation I am in and the lack of money this may be the best option I have for myself and my father. I used E-Check as my way to get the funds, which as you most know deposits you the money right away and doesn't collect from your bank for a week, which is how I got to be so far in debt. However, could I, and should I close my bank account? PokerStars and FullTilt then would have to hold my poker account, and my accounts would have negative balances. I could then, through my Dad set up a monthly payment to work at getting the money back for the poker sites. This plan seems to work, but I feel it may back fire on me? Anybody have any ideas?
