does the begging ever actually work?

I find it annoying. These guys come in, say they will "cheer you on" for just a few dollars, etc. Whatever. Cause I just a rat's ass about being cheered on by some broke lunatic.

I'll bet they do make decent money though.... just not from me.

I believe this is what led PokerStars to not allow chat to observers who don't at least have the funds it their account to cover a buy in for the game. Good move on their part I think.
