yesterday my mate was playin on my acc as i often let him play small stakes and i fell asleeep when he woke me up he told me he had lost $13k which i laughed at thinkin it was a0 joke. Unfortunately he was not joking, he had blown my roll playin 25/50 hu. He has now promised to pay me the money back which i find hard to beleive as he is broke but he has said he will borrow the money of his parents to pay me. Has anyone been in a similar situation and know what the law says in this type of case?

The law? I'm no attorney, but I'm pretty sure you're S.O.L if he decides to stiff you.

You should post some of the HH in this thread. It might be entertaining.

my first time ever playing poker, i played on my friend's true poker account. He got 50 dollars for free for winning a true poker sponsored event. I played for 20 minutes and won 15dollars and thought poker was easy. Little did I know, I would lose my friend's entire 50dollar bankroll over the course of the night. He was chill though, and now i'm able to repay him.

I also once stayed up all night playing 10-25 on ub and lost 8k of my 12k bankroll. I lost qq to a9, all the money went in on a aq3flop, turn was a 9, river A, ship a 5k pot and the tilt begins.

What was the understanding between the two of you? Did you lay down any ground rules about what limits he could play?

Sounds like you learned a very expensive lesson.

Your friend is a complete loser and douche bag. You don't accidently lose a friends 13k bankroll unless you're borderline retarded.

This should be a lesson to all, don't let broke loser buddies play on your account while you take a nap.

Yeah, I think he's got this much. He asked a specific question, and what you're peddling is particularly helpful.

Well, its basically your own fault for letting him on your account. This was a really poor decision on your part. GG 13k

i meant what i said. anyone who i would trust to let play on my account, would have to be a very good friend of mine. and i doubt id be looking for legal recourse if he fucked up. id work something out with him and get my money back as soon as he could. friends > money.

Holy F'n shit! He went up stakes after each losing session then to only get it all in with the best of it with a $14k pot only to get sucked out on the river. OUCH.

GL man.

wow, you really think someone who goes on to play 25/50 in your account while you're asleep is a friend? Risking a bunch of someone else's money without them even knowing is the new true meaning of friendship imo

Probably liked to impress his buddy by letting him see his BR. Anybody else would have the sense to just transfer the guy 50 bucks....

I call bullshit on this entire thread...

Grip - I must admit that I didn't look at it from the position of the guy having a gambling problem. That is a very good point and deserves recognition, but the main issue here is the loss of the money. It doesn't appear as though there was any malicious intent at all, you're right, but that doesn't mean that he shouldn't be held responsible for it.

100% agree. work something out with the kid to get your money back. long term payment plan or something of that matter.

I think it's extremely sad that anybody has found this breach of trust in any way funny. Somebody has just lost a significant amount of money (not without fault, but not through his actions alone) and this is in some way amusing? Walk a mile in his shoes, I wonder how funny that would be.

Cue response of "well I'd never be that naive". Bully for you.
