Loans For Poker

[Poker Orifice]

It wouldn't surprise me if I was informed that close to 1/2 the players in the wsop sell a % of their buyin.

Lots of players online play with a backer.

110% never. With the history poker players have of scamming, stealing and never paying the money they owe back. Loan them money? F**K NO. I trust 3-4 people total in the whole world with my money NONE of them poker players. Correction only one of them is a poker player ME lol.

With that said I will stake certain players long as a 3rd party is in complete 100% control of the transaction 110% from start to finish so I know I'm getting my money if player cashes. Example the staking offered on GG poker. Wish pokerstars offered a staking option like GG has.

Cheers!!!

I think you are a good and generous person who believes in honest people. There are indeed many such people. That's why you do good deeds anyway. I, for example, never lend money to anyone except my family.

Guy probably broke by now if he continued to lend since 2017. Probably already since 2020, this is the last time he was active here.

I had a friend here by the username yogo9
I really had a bad experience with him after some months of friendship here. He is the reason why I am broke upto now. He disappeared without paying the $600+ we agreed he will pay after winning one of the tournaments at pokerstars.

You will not lose no one if you have 1 rule, never give and never take

I always lend money to other players when they need to,I to be very attentive when they call me to this end, or they send me messages, I like to help,but in many cases after receiving the money, they forget that it was only a loan
I consider helping, but I have many friends who ask me for help, I'm sure that those I have helped will return my money, I usually say that it's a chain, if I break a link in this chain, the flow will stop,Many tell me that money should not be lent when it will be used in games
Once, I had friends in my house, and we started playing poker, so one of them was out of money at the moment, but would like to participate, so i borrowed.
This friend ended up winning of everyone, including me, after this day I learned a lesson, we should not put another opponent on the table, when he will play with our own money
What do you think about these facts?

I usually have a book of notes
with these priorities

-he returned quickly
-took a while to return
-forgot and did not retur

after these notes follow these

- I can lend again, values up to 30us
- lend lower values up to 5us
- not allowed to loan to this player

the notes are Green, Blue and Red

Maybe I'm crazy, but it's a form of protection.

I agree with your takeaway from lending money during poker. It’s tricky when lending impacts the dynamics of the game, especially if the borrowed money is then used to win against you! That’s a tough lesson, but it sounds like you’ve learned from it and adjusted your strategy.

Your system isn’t crazy at all—it’s a structured way of maintaining fairness and accountability. It also sends a message to your friends that you’re generous but expect respect for your kindness. Hopefully, it encourages them to be more responsible when borrowing.
