you rich guys? who's rich first of all? I come from a family that makes 70,000 dollars a year combined and we live in new york where expenses are high as hell, and like I said I havent received a cent in 4.5 years from them. You'd rather play in two 5 dollar tournies than one 10 dollar one... ok, well why not five 1 dollar tournies instead of one 5 dollar one.... what makes 5 dollars the line? Like I said, if you don't have 10 dollars to play in a tournament, then you dont have 5 dollars... if you do, it needs to be spent on more important things than poker.



So you can turn 1.20 into 5 bucks, but it is impossible to turn it in to 10? Why not turn it into five, then start with 1.20 and turn it into five more and boom ten dollars! I broke the seal! Im not even going to address this further... and secondly, most people who play online poker, have a bankroll. If you (as in one, not you personally)don't, it's not to say you arent wanted here, but the tournaments arent geared towards you -- because obviously since they cost money to get into , the geared toward players with a bankroll.



If you wanted to play in the poker tournament for 10 dollars and it meant you'd be missing a meal, you shouldnt play. In addition you shouldnt play in a 5 dollar one. You also shouldnt be buying ice cream at dairy queen with your only spare 5 dollars... nor should you be eating at restaraunts at all -- since it's all about the value of a dollar, you should be buying food and preparing it at home,which saves you a ton of money...you shouldnt be buying a wristband for 4.75 -- and if it's between poker or a wristband, make a choice!
I seriously cant believe this is even being discussed

Rich spoiled kids dont know the value of a dollar? A dollar has no value anymore in todays society, a damn soda costs more these days. You can get a bag of chips, a candy bar or a pack of gum for under a buck, thats pretty much it. Ive been working since I was 15, including 40 hours a week while going to college -- so i dont wanna hear a word about spoiled.

10 dollars is one hour of work or less , and i mean real work, not poker, if you dont have a spare 10 bucks to play then you dont have a spare five bucks to play period

I love how you draw the obvious line from my statement into what i would do about a poor lady. If you needed .40 Id wonder what the hell for, but i would give it to you... but do you mean to tell me you dont have .40??? Or you just dont feel like depositing money? Theres a huge difference there. If you really didnt have .40 id give it to you, not ask for it back, and tell you that you shouldnt be playing poker for real money if u dont have a spare .40.

Brians analysis is 100% correct also. Only 3 type of people beg for money, addicts, underage (14) kids and free money players. I want neither of the 3 around here.

Oh the rich do get richer and the poor do get poorer by the way... but not for the reasons you're referring to.... it often has to do with rich peoples drive vs poor peoples laziness... not in every situation, but in general. Also the fact that you need to have money to make money is a huge part of it as well.


Edit: Sorry didnt realize this is dead already...
