| Only time I shipped anyone I didn't know money was in a private forum tourney. I was chip leader at the final table and I was playing in one of full tilt's 5+5 charity tourneys the next day. I told the table that if I won the tournament(the private forum tourney), that I would send 10 dollars to the bubble boy if he gave his word to play in the charity tournament. I won the forum tourney, made my offer, it was accepted and we both played in the charity tourney the next day(Neither of us cashed, I checked). |

| just read that story on mamagrinder yesterday....very original tactic to put the pan handlers in a tight spot...next time I see one of those guys at the local plazza with the card board sign that reads "Yaddah Yaddah give me money" Im going to ask 3 questions and give him some if he answers correctly. Of course I once tossed a guy like this a burger who had a will work for food sign and he threw it back at me and said "I want money so I can buy my own food" and I havent given somthing to a begger since. |

| re: How to deal with 'beggers' poker Thing is, I don't have a problem with observer chat per se, it's not even beggars, they're quite good fun, it's more people who've never heard of msn and feel the need to use the chat box as a private conversation. On the subject of transferring people money you don't know, I once had an observer compliment me on my play during a tournament. He railed me the whole way for 5 hours to a £600 win for 3rd. I chipped him $10 to say thanks for the good luck he brought, he entered a couple tournaments over the next few days and came 2nd in a $1 rebuy and I'd been watching as I searched his name to see if money had gone to good use. He won $150 and sent me half to say thanks. That's good investing baby. |

| ***Threaddrift alert*** Speaking of Mizrachi, I was so frustrated with Phil Gordon. ESPN's the poker edge had a show talking about the biggest stories of the year and mizrachi was one of those stories. Phil kept referring to him as Mizrachi like chi a pet. And Andrew feldman never corrected him. Feldman skirted the issue by just calling him grinder the whole show. I was lol, cmon Phil. How long have you been around poker?

| re: How to deal with 'beggers' poker This thread make me think that theres prolly professional beggars out there,who just scour poker sites beggin for money.The good ones prolly have more money at sites than we do,lol The way I see it,if they are online begging,they could be online playing a freeroll or something and earn their own money.If they cant freeroll their way,I dont feel sorry for them.I freeroll all of my online cash,so I know its possible. |

| re: How to deal with 'beggers' poker You can mute individual observers by clicking on their chat and opening player notes. You have no idea how many people I have muted with the note "annoying rail chat" or "password beggar". Your method is funny but too much effort. I have to agree with the instamute. |
