Paying him with his own money?
Printable View
Azzclown must not be out of school yet.
He made it for me, but not sure you see it as his money.
I invested 240 2 BAP's ago.
I have 376 now, so I got my investment back, and w/ the rest I bought 2 shares, ($ 100) and I have 36 leftover.
Nothing huge, but worse case for me is I got $ 36 for $ 240 after like 6 months.
Be like a bank offering me 30 % ROI on a 6 month CD.
And that is if he losses all 5k, and since this isn't a tourney BAP, highly unlikely.
For everyone saying go get a job its not that easy. I've basically fudged most of my resume, and nowadays they backround check everything. If you tell them you played poker for 12 years they would never hire you. Its a lose lose situation unless you have a hook up.
I have never listened to a Jasep podcast, so I do not know his personal situation other than he has a kid and splits time with the mom. I do not know how old the kid was or if he ever cohabitated with the mother. That being said it seems like having a kid is a perfect reason for a resume gap, saying you were the one who took time off work to raise the small child.
12 years is a long time, but it sounds a hell of a lot better than professional poker player.
That being said, it is pretty obvious that (like Micon) Jasep is still in the denial phase about his unsustainable addiction to poker (and living the poker lifestyle) and is not ready to address his situation in an honest, productive way.
I mean, trying to build a bankroll by running a BAP to play live 5-10 stud and 1-2 NLHE (where you only get to keep 40% of hopeful profits) is never going to work out, short of hitting a jackpot, and anyone who thinks otherwise does not understand EV, variance, standard deviation, living expenses, etc. and everything else that is essential to making it as a professional gambler.
Knowing what I know now, I am so glad I never agreed to let him take my sportsbetting action vig free last year. I was actually seriously considering it at one point. Talk about a negative freeroll. There was definitely 0% chance of me ever seeing a dime if I won.
Huge LOL @ Jimmyfag not being able to make one post without mentioning me. If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't post at all. Well, I guess he would still make posts crying about his 3 figure life roll being snatched by FTP.
Assuming he has the technical knowledge of how to play short stack NLHE and game selects well, it seems with a $5000 BR it would be in Jasep's best interest to shortstack bigger NLHE games.
I don't know how the NLHE games on the East coast are structured, but in So Cal with a $5000 roll I think his best chance of actually building a bankroll would be to play 5-10 NLHE buying in $500 at a shot or 5-5 buying in $300.
Again, this is assuming he is +EV at these games.
His risk of ruin will go up, but at least he will be playing high enough to beat the rake and give himself a chance, which I don't think he will be in the games he listed in the OP.
If you believe in Jasep's skill, I think this is a much better deal for both him and his backers.
jasep, forget poker....gets yourself qualified for whatever field your interested in
Lol @ double post tilt. Two posts between us and he's already losing his shit. Fucking hilarious. Don't worry Jimmyfag, 408 will be around soon and he can explain it to you. You're a waste of oxygen. Now go call your local congressman so he can get to work on gettin your $300 life roll back. Then you can continue pursuing your dream/fantasy of "puttin' a move on Chan." Stop stealing our oxygen and go hang yourself. Thx in advance.
"Gee I'll throw in a quote from Rounders and zeal will think I know what he meant."
Thanks for clearing it up.
Exactly like I said, you have no fucking clue.
Don't feel bad, it doesn't apply here.
Your trolling lately has just been pathetic.
Don't you care anymore?
Judging by this thread and several others, I'm gonna guess Jimmyfag looks something like this.
or this
Shut it down shit for brains.
I'm also done packing your shit in Jaseps thread.

Hey all,
Two of the investors have put me in kind of a bad spot, I am starting tomorrow and both have promised to pay multiple dates and yesterday was the latest date. I reached out to both multiple times and did not get a response. It is possible that they were just busy and I will hear from them today but I have to figure out an alternative because I start tomorrow morning and I want everything to be in order by then.
If both decide they do not or cannot participate anymore then it will be really disappointing that neither of them told me about it so that I could have had more time to sell their shares before today.
Anyway, I now have 15 shares open with about 20 hours to sell them, otherwise I will have to buy them myself and I am really not in the best position to do so...
So if anyone who has already invested would like to buy more shares, if anyone who wanted shares but I was sold out, or anyone just discovering this would like to buy some shares they are $50.00 each and payment can be sent to my paypal TrupQQ@gmail.com
Thanks,
Johnny
let us know who didnt buy the 15 shares and i might consider throwing you a bone
5 Sold to Xopods, 10 left...
While I appreciate it adamantium, I have never been one to blow up spots.
When I sell out these I will post an updated staker list and I am sure you can figure it out. No one did wrong by me, maybe they just don't have the money anymore or do not want to participate anymore and for whatever reason didn't tell me.
I can say that I spoke to both on Christmas/Christmas Eve and everything was a go... so I am not sure what happened, I just have to solve the problem now, I am not upset or anything.
Mad Dad in for 5 more, 5 left
Pikachar bought 2 more, 3 left
I'll take 1 more. Money sent.
ty sir... 2 left... appreciate all the support guys!
Thanks for getting it over to me, I have a 4 share overage now... Mad Dad can have it back if he likes, if not I will send it back to Handicapme, but I will leave the option up to mad dad.
Today being the 1st of a brand new year Good Luck Jasep and may 2013 bring you more Happiness and Prosperity than you could ever have imagined. Run like God and bring the Thunder.
Thanks Mike....
Refunded money back to Handicapme and we are all sold out and ready to go for tomorrow, will post the first video blog tomorrow night...
Good Luck us!!!
Today is the day, I am heading to Foxwoods in about a half hour to get this show on the road.
Not sure what I am going to play today but whatever game I settle on will be the one I feel like I have the highest expected value in.
I will reset my comps as soon as I get there by cashing everything out so that I can easily add comp dollars to the stake every week.
Video blog will be posted tonight after I get home.... Hopefully we come out of the gates swinging...
Good Luck Us!!!!
