To Craig T - the 15 year old boy, Risky Business, 2. Sep 2003 11:47

Mr. Tauterouff -
I read one of your posts this morning and was disturbed to the point that I have gone back and read every single post you've submitted.

I won't insult you and call you names, but I won't sugar coat this either.

1. What happened in the 10 months that you did not post here? Your questions are relatively the same. You want help, you want money, and you want action. You seem to have left the game for some reason. An aspiring professional does not give up his trade, he is constantly honing it. With so much more to do at your age, maybe delaying this life decision is the way to go. Do something more healthy. Wait until you can afford to lose what you play with.

2. Don't steal from your parents. They WILL find out. Or somebody else will find out, and they'll have to break it to them. Your parents have given you sound advice to this point, listen to them now. It is my impression that you are separated from them a lot of the time. Unless they are compulsive gamblers (or a sibling is), I don't see how you were introduced to poker unless you're a latchkey internet child and decided to read all those pop-ups.

3. You need to develop educational and social skills, as even the best poker players in the world seem to have a life outside poker. Do something with your life besides sit in front of a monitor for the next 3-6 years, whatever the legal age may be in the UK (my guess from your posts)

It's not bad that you want to learn, that the basis of child development (the thirst for knowledge...asking why why why). However, it is HORRIBLE that your methods of obtaining this knowledge border on those of an addict trying to secure any means possible to get his fix.

Your posts are eerily leading to stealing, cheating, and anything else to get you into a poker game. Someone much older and wiser will pinpoint this and use you for their own benefit. Especially over the internet. Proceed with caution.

There is a reason there aren't any child phenoms at casino games, but there are children doctors. Poker can't be beat with a book, software, or even a high IQ. It isn't learned, memorized, and mastered. It takes a long time to figure out that becoming a pro is even an opportunity to most. You absolutely cannot know that at your age.

If you must play, mail me your parents checking account number and routing number. I'll only take out $50. I'll send half the money to stdioh and keep the rest. You'll begin to realize how powerful the internet really is.

Shorn Good Point, girls first. I wonder what the stats are for people who play poker and pool. Both games require mental toughness and dedication. I bet it's close to 80% of players who love both games.

Well said. It should be school school school. With an education you can get any job you want, then you can afford to play poker.

That's a very good point. When I was 15, the main reason for playing poker was to get some scratch together so that I'd be able to spend it on a girl. The fact that I didn't so much as get a single female to talk to me for another 2 years is irrelevant...it was the only thing on my mind and I certainly wasn't spending more than a couple of days a month so much as thinking about poker.

Risky Business, if I send you my checking account number and routing number will you take out $100 and split it with me, I ask because it would be easier to get it this way than beg $50 for gambling from my wife.

Poker isn't about ego. It's about money. Hopefully I don't have to spell things out anymore.

Honestly, I think your some dude whose broke and 35 years old that poses as a kid to get money from other poeple. Anyone who really was 15 wouldn't say they were hundreds of times becuase they'd want respect and for people to take them seriously

None of us take you seriously

Please do not start flame wars here. Check our rec.gambling.poker if you feel like using unwarrented obscenities. UPF is not about that.

There was another post in there by Craig that had them in it. He must have deleted it and now I look like a jackass. It certainly wasn't directed at Jonny!

No, the forum monitor probably deleted it, because they do not allow obscenities. They have been on the look out lately because bogussss keeps coming back. Anyway, you can tell by the elongated dotted line that there used to be another post there.

You need to go to a fake job and do some fake work then make a fake deposit and you will have a big fake money bankroll.

That's what I do...

Before making fun of the kid you need to read further post's on this site. He has actually had some pretty good post's. Even if his grammer was a little shody.

You should try mugging a couple of kids playing doctor. I hear fake doctors make mad amounts of money. And I know a lot of places where you can fence a playdoh rolex :)

heheh...that is about the least threatening response I have ever heard to anything from anybody.

That's about as good as, "You crossed a line that nobody crosses with me. NOBODY! Let's settle this right now. Take off your coat. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - I declare a thumb war."
