Life & Death - Page 2

So you are begging/asking on the interwebz forums for $10,000 from strangers because you are afraid your parents will be disappointed in you? If I were your father, i'd much more ashamed of my son begging rather than face his problems than having a gambling problem

Wow, that really sucks. I have strict parents too, and i don't want to find myself in such a situation. Poker has been going well in the last time, maybe I can help you.

This is fucking hilarious. I went nearly $5k in the hole before coming to this site. However, I had a job and worked my ass off for that $5k. Trust me ... it is a little more sickening to have worked 40 hours a week for months for money that you just blew than to have lost it on a credit card. Along with locking your FTP account do your self a favor and cut up your visa as well.

I agree with what some people have commented on already. You have been probably reading LP.net for a while and probably not posting a lot but still haven't learned anything before you found yourself 10K in the hole? You might as well tell them asap because if they look at the VISA statement and find out it'll be 100x worst for you. It's not life and death but it's about you losing all credibility with your family and putting a huge burden on them.

If this was your last ditch effort then you need to tell them the truth and get a job asap.

Any sob story on the internet won't get you very far because it can so easily be a scam. If there was one thing you should've learned while creeping LP was that bankroll management is key.

10k in the hole? Poker is not for you. You're clearly a degenerate fool with a gamboling problem.

That being said I don't see how your parents need be involved? It is your Visa card. Get a job and start paying it down as fast as possible. If you actually win that little dance tournament thing then your debt is already half gone.

If they find out about it be honest. If you can't fathom paying it off without their help be honest. Otherwise just man-up and take care of it yourself. Something tells me this isn't the first time this has happened with you.

Edit: This also smells like a level/scam.
