Staking/getting staked, specific to PTP

[herschelw]

Doesn't forgiveness speak highly of a community? I'm not saying they should easily be able to get backing again but second chances aren't all bad. When people come back they have to rebuild thier reputation before they can sell out huge BAP's. There are a few exceptions to that where the player is massively +EV, paid back quickly, and has good relationships with the top stakers.

Thanks for the replies, they are appreciated.

Sure it does. I guess I consider stealing from people who trust you just about the lowest form of scum.

I'm not good at forgiveness.

Well, it's not like people who steal are still selling out their action. It's the:
-Good players
-Who "steal" (and usually this isn't premeditated - it's them making a mistake)
-And pay it all back
who do, sometimes.

You need all three of those things at a minimum, and even then it might not be enough. You are making it sound like people steal and everyone at PTP keeps throwing money at them. I'd say maybe 5% of rollers fall into the category of paying back and getting backed again. Maybe 10%.

Wow, you really dislike me don't you? I cited one person, Brian, who said this happens and I said IF thats true it speaks poorly of the community.

I did not give any other reference toward this happening. I just wanted to know if it's true or if Brian, again, was talking out of his ass.

Penguin, I think you're reading way too much into TP's response. Just my

I don't dislike you at all.

OK, sorry, my bad. Just seemed like you were painting my post in the worst possible light you could.

I still haven't got an invite to the wedding though, so I'm still salty about that.

[Talking Poker]

No one has. We don't even have a date yet.

And apologies if I mis-paraphrased you. I didn't reread your posts, was just going by what I thought I had read the other day...
