i don't know about UB.....but on Stars you can transfer $0.01.

There was a guy on here asking to be 'staked' for some Stars tourney and I transfered $0.01 to him I believe.

When he only got 2 or 3 other 2+2'ers to join in her decided that he didn't generate enough interest and thus, wasn't going to make it.
A couple days later he actually transferred my $0.01 back to me.

Other than that guy...I have certainly never given any money to online-beggars before. But if they came to my table asking for a penny I might consider doing it.

I hit the high hand jackpot on party last weekend (not a big amount, just over 2k, nothing like the bad beat jp). I guess because the dealer announces it to all tables or something, but I got attacked from all sides by people asking for a handout, it was kind of annoying. Didn't give any to anyone and logged out.

coincidently.. i just gave out a donation today for good karma. was at the final table of an MTT and told a guy if he could bring me enough luck to win i'd give him $50. I figured if i won id be happy enough to just have won, so when i did i transferred him $50.

Play live the begging is worse. Especially if the players know your at least a bust even, marginally winning player. Or better yet bet at the track and hit for triactor, every degenerate cockroach wants anywhere from 2 bucks to splitting tickets to cockamamy pools where all the money is yours but their is 50/50 split...........

These are two separate issues. I agree with you (although not the tone you took). But you still shouldn't give to the online poker beggars, these aren't people begging to go buy themselves food, they're begging for gambling money. If you want good karma, take that $50 and give it to the red cross or something.

Never Give Them Money! It just keeps them coming back.

Always pretend you will give them money, just to waste their time. This will discourage them from begging

I love the beggars. They amuse me. I love it when one of the players jerks them around. Kind of sadistic but it's harmless fun and they put themselves in that position.
