Steve, as much as a nice guy that you are, I truly believe this guy is trying to take you for a ride.

Unfortunately unless he can definitively prove he’s in the situation that he says hes in then all we can offer is words of advice.

You given enough generosity over the passed few weeks without falling for this kind of guff.

And to the OP, if your situation is truly genuine then you need to be seeking irl advice from real people who can actually help you in the here and now.

To be honest mate I still don’t understand how gambling works. I understand the fundamentals of gambling, especially the maths behind poker etc. But sometimes I know i should walk away from something but I just keep going.

So to answer your question, some of my mates have no idea about gambling but in the same breath I have no idea why I used to make some of the decisions I used to do regularly.

In your case, I would have stuck a quid in as well though

Yeah I know where your coming  from mate I’m same poker player first but them bad beats can send you crazy we’ve all had em. Saturday night pub tournament pair jacks flop jack ten 5 all in after flop against 9 queen. Turn card king lose to a straight I mean who the hell goes all in chasing a straight when I’m sat with trips you just want to go arrrrrgh ?

The worst thing about playing poker iis playing a hand to perfection and losing against a rec player who chased every card.

Completely agree mate. Long term you will make money against these players but it always seams to happen at the worst possible time. Especially if they hit and run in a cash game that pisses me right off

Yea i completely understand this but as somewhat of a recreational player myself these days I need to be winning these ‘flips’ ‘badbeats’ or its just no fun for me 🙁

Poker players are constantly trying to find an edge, albeit against other players and this is considered normal. If they were gaining an edge against the casino theyd either because accused of cheating or the casino would put things in place to stop it.

Just look at this article about poker player Phil Ivey, in my eyes he found an edge and won millions from it but the casino accused him of cheating cheatin.

I see it as purely entertainment, I’m not one for going out boozing or gallivanting so i pay for my entertainment via slots.

On the other hand I do believe I have an addictive personality when it comes to most things I take interest in, the key is excess, everything to excess is baaad!
