Thats part of the thing that gets me when I play poker.

I mean, I could potentially be taking somebody's rent money.

It is kind of sobering.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you play online poker, aren't you playing with credit? If so, why can't he just pay them back with interest, just like you would do if you couldn't pay your credit card bill off at the end of the month? I mean cripes! It's not like they're gonna send some big hairy man beast to your door to beat you within an inch of your life.......right? I can't believe he's thinking of stealing a car over this, lol. You should find out what happens and give us updates, this could get good. Isn't there a scam where you can steal the HID headlights off of the 2000 Maxima's? You could prolly get 100 bucks a pair for those. Quick, what's Skoorb's address?

No, you're playing with money straight out of your checking account. It's almost impossible to use credit cards for online gambling anymore without going through shady intermediaries.

The way I look at it is that if I weren't taking their money, someone else would be.
