brother can you spare a dime?

one thing that seems consistent when we have a cc tourney at pokerstars is the railbirds panhandling. it seems that every game we play there is at least one person asking for us to send some money to them.what is the best way to respond to these requests? how do you handle it?

tell them to F off

Dear me, no. That`s so impolite.



Ask them please to F off.

LOL

And make sure you use a sexy British accent when you do...

i always send them .01 cents and then tellt hem to f off

Stefanicov, can you spare some change bro?

I can do better than that.!!

Sent to jayneseo at pokerstars .02 cents

lol
Thanks Aloe
I knew you canadians were good for something

JK

Hey I only got 1.6 cents......damn exchange rate!!

.04 cents more than you would have got from stefanicov

I know that cheap *****rd

hey watch it!!! steven is anything but cheap he is one of mine and daks favorite people across the pond

In case you haven't noticed by now, I tend to joke a lot


But if I really offended you or Stephan then..........sorry

i know i was joking to

My choice is "Other".

I tell them that "Helen" can loan them some money and to go see "Helen". Her last name is "Waite". I tell them to go to "Helen Waite".

I am completly offended and will now never speak to you again


And FFS It is STEFAN not stephan

I am sorry about that. I'm not worthy.

Clearly not, you are jayneseo. Can`t you get anyone`s name right ?

I think it is rude to be asked for money. If you cannot afford to play, you cannot afford to play. Duh.

Agreed. People need to make their own money. If they ask from people they blatantly don't know then they obviously don't understand the value of a $, or they take people for complete fools or push overs and they'll just keep asking for more because they're bound to lose it.

don't ask for anything from anyone! if your not going to work for it is the 1st place! its poker NOT UNICEF.

Or, they're kids without access to Mom / Dad's credit cards at the moment.

At PS, there is an option to block observer chat; I usually just shut them out. Unless it's an icon I know has some really nice cleavage, or it's Mischman.

I usually have fun with them, like I'll say something like "sure, I'll give you $1, but you have to do my windows first"or "Just a minute, I'll check my pockets.......here's a twenty, I'll leave it beside my comp, come and get it". and the funny thing is I actually put the 20 down on my desk in front of my comp.....lol

LMFAO

Back in the 80's I'd walk into a gas station and almost always have at least one or more of the downtown street kids ask me for change when I left. Never once did I ever think that someday there would be virtual pan handlers. In anycase the point is that I'd always give them my change. I guess I'm just that nice guy sucker... some of those guys on the highway were making bank doing that though. I wonder what a successful railbird nets? I wouldn't ever beg for such tiny money, but I try to never knock another man's hustle. I know some of you may think that it's horrible thing that they are doing, but at least they are asking. I've been robbed for a lot of money <to me it was> by people I thought were friends, people I've never met before, and I've fallen for the odd scam or so. Those are the people that disgust me. Maybe also the super rich that made their money by legal, but questionable means <tobacco companies come to mind>. I will admit I probably wouldn't give a railbird money though. Just cause I know they'd end up giving to someone I didn't like at the poker table LOL.
