Re: Someone owes me money
[ QUOTE ]
if you let jimmy, a member of the italian community, skate on the $5000 for a while, will he look upon it as a favor? maybe having him owe you a favor for a while will be worth the $5000. I've thought about this. One option is to play at his club without staking any of my own cash. i.e. buy in "on the sheet" and cash out for the full amount, charging the difference against the loan. Seems a bit pussy to me though. [/ QUOTE ] perhaps, but that's also the easiest way to get the money, isn't it.

Re: Someone owes me money
Seems to me you should hit up "Adam" for the money, since he is the one who borrowed it from you. Who cares if it was on behalf of someone else? If that someone else who he vouched for isn't getting the money back to you, it becomes his responsibility.

Re: Someone owes me money
I consider myself generally a decent guy (aside from the fact that I play poker for a living) but I can't see ever lending ANYONE money to play poker. There are only two possibilities:
1. They play well (in which case they are a fellow predator and why would you help them when there is only a limited amount of prey?) 2. They play poorly (in which case they are a bad risk for your money).

Re: Someone owes me money
i have read the post again and the responses over. seems like this is the kinda guy who has the resources to pay you back. i would try and work out a deal, and take it from there.

Re: Someone owes me money
Do you want to get into the loan-sharking business? If you do get Greg to put some pressure on Jimmy this is basically what you are doing.
If there is even the remotest of possibilities that Jimmy can apply pressure of his own are you willing to take it to the next level? Even if Greg can be trusted to take it easy what if Jimmy gets violent? Greg smacks him around some, Jimmy sues him and it comes back to you. Not a good scenario. On the other hand, if you have other outstanding debts, are backing or planning to back other players you don't want a reputation of the guy who will allow himself to get screwed over when it comes to this kind of stuff. All in all, quite the pickle you got yourself in there bub. Perhaps you should take this up with Adam, if you haven't already. Explain the situation and see what he can do about coming up with the money. If it was me I'd probably stay away from involving straight out criminals in this entire thing, that's for sure. Also, please share with us whatever happens next, this stuff is like Rounders in real life! Swede

Re: Someone owes me money
Adam has repeatedly passed off responsibility to jimmy.
Should jimmy not produce the money tonight, I will be confronting Azim with the suggestion that the money was lent to him, and that he would be expected to pay it back.

Re: Someone owes me money
We would be able to answer your question better if you gave us more details about this pimp friend of yours. Seriously, you are friends with a pimp?
