    How would you like somebody to have borrowed 50k and instead of getting repaid you get a video like this

    Sorry bout that 50k you lent me....I lost it all after getting drunk and gambling in the pit

    It's so crazy smart guys like this cannot grasp the bankroll management concept.

    You have 100k bankroll you buy in for 2k per session. You go on a bad streak and are down to 50k you buy in at lower stakes for 1k.

    You're down to 10k you seriously take a look at ur game, change what or where ur playing, and buy in for 200 at lower stakes.

    Get back up to 50k you start playing 1k buy ins again.

    It aint that hard.

    Any professional gambler with +ev habits should never have to borrow money period.

    He owes probably 500k....maybe more. Nothing is going to change unfortunately. His life has never been threatened and he's not in danger. Lucky for him he's living in 2012 and not 1950's.

    Stealing from online geeks is rather easy.

    Chino is a pro at it.

    Plus these people have money and a life so they won't take a chance in assaulting him.
    If this was a different country he'd already be in a wheelchair.

    Earn trust. You see a poker player who has been on TV playing with the pros you think no way he would scam me he might ruin his reputation. Booth and Co. don't care about their reputation as long as they're funded. Booth originally asked for $13,000 and paid the man so he could get a bigger sum and run off. Make a video, hope everything blows over and continue throwing money away playing craps and blackjack.
