ok heres the scoop, i have a roomate staying at our place and for the most part his been a nice guy and fun to hang out with. i'm 22 and his 45. anyway ever since he moved in 2 months ago we've gotton into playing poker. we play quite frequently like a couple of times per day, when we can. at first we played that if you lose you pay right away. after a couple weeks i had won $100 and then he won $50 back. after that we decided to forget about that rule since most of the time the debt didn't get over $20 so we decided to just play until their was a meaningful debt.
then this is what happened on thrusday. my family went away for 4 days and me and randy had the place to our selves. we got into poker like usual except this time after a few games i got up $100 and he wanted to go double or nothing. i asked him how much money he could afford to lose and he said up to $500 was no problem so i agreed to the game and lost. after a couple of more games i was down $300. we where about to play one more for $100 but he said after the game we had to talk about me paying him at least some of the money. i agreed and offered to pay him $100 but he thought that wouldn't be enough. but he said i'll take your snowboard which im selling for $400. anyway i got on a hot streak and won all the money back and got it to 0 then i played a few more games and ended up being up $160. he begged me to play one more for $100 the deal was if he won hed owe me $60 tommorow at the latest and he would have to buy a nice poker set which would cost $100 (but it would be his) on the other hand if i won he'd have to pay me at least $60 tommorow and buy the same poker set but it would be mine plus he'd still owe me $100 which i said he could pay at a later date. he agreed. i won! so i was up $260 and we played one more game for $60 he won and that was the end of thursday. the next day he refused to talk about the money he owed me or acknoledge the deal we had made the other day. he kept saying lets play some more poker. i said at least pay me $60 but he refused. he said lets keep playing its just fun let me get it down to 0 and then we'll talk about it. he claimed that he would never have played $100 games when he was up $300 but he felt like being a nice guy and i should let him play a few games to try to get it to even. i got very frustrated. id constatly ask him about when he could or would pay me some or all of the money and he just said i dont want to talk about it, go away and so on. this went on for about 2 days during which time we played a few more poker games. he got it down to $150. and again i asked him about the money and again he said lets keep playing till its at 0, im not going to pay you you can forget about it and so on. i figured whatever if i get him down to a reasonable amount he'd pay me (remember this is the guy who claims that losing up to $500 wouldn't worry him abit. this guy walks around with wads of cash in his pockets. i know it and my brother knows it. although you shoulda seen how angry and stressed the guy was over those 4 days. at one point he was so worried that i might steal some money from his room he had a jar filled with $2 coins and their was like $400-$600 worth of money. he brought it to a friends place because he thought id steal it. something id never do. during which time on a couple of occasions when he won a significant amount of money back he addmitted to being the most stressed out his been in his life, he claimed to lose sleep and have headachs.) he got it down to $110 and i thought man this guy could afford that. again he declined to pay me then he got me down to $70 and once again he declinded to pay me. we play 2 more games for $70 and now his up $70. i'm paying him tonight or if not then tommorow. i don't think i'll ever bet with him again but i want to deliver him a message and show him that im honest enough to pay my debts. what do you guys think about all this? also note that randys annual income is at least 3 times if not more higher then mine. so what do you guys think about all this? and what would you do or have done?
