How to kickstart your bankroll

RoundTower

OK so a lot of you are broke or often go broke. One tried and tested method of getting back in the game is harassing people on poker sites, especially for some reason Full Tilt. However begging alone is never guaranteed to be successful: it's better if you can somehow show off your talents and earn a few quid instead. Some of you good-for-nothings could take a leaf out of this man's playbook:

TDeuel14 (Observer): Anyone be kind enough to
transfer me $10 please?
RoundTower: if you write me a cool poem
TDeuel14 (Observer): ok
TDeuel14 (Observer): nj4thst betta whatch out
round towers about to devour
TDeuel14 (Observer): opps
RoundTower: i was thinking something more like
Homer's Odyssey
TDeuel14 (Observer): nj4thst better whatch out
round towers about to devour hes gunna take all
your chips in stack em up like a tower phil ivey

his feet hes the man that you cannont beat
RoundTower: thats pretty good actually

RoundTower: tdeuel, do you know what "ars
gratia artis" means?

That is the funniest thing i have read for quite some time

nicnicnic

he was definitely worth $10

shoutman

Ha ha,
priceless

for everything else there's mastercard......

His rhyming was still pretty poor however, I reckon as a poker community we could come up with a far better hook for RT then "j4thst better whatch out
round towers about to devour hes gunna take all
your chips in stack em up like a tower"

phantom_lord

a bit odd he's supposedly read the Iliad but doesn't recognise one of the most quoted lines from Shakespeare........

robinlacey

or how to spell Odysseus.

I bet it wasat the point that he likened you to Odysseus that you decided to give him the money...

You should rail him now.

Ollieboy

there will be a gang of them following you around now given you poems, you'll never be left alone....lol

Its funny, would find it hard not to give a few quid after that.

How about a "Poem for Rich Roundtower" thread to rival the "Song for Poor Cardshark" thread. Submissions please.

not too surprising he couldn't spell odysseus, considering the rest of the chat...

Round Tower devour - We want mau-er. Nice post made me laugh. Let's hope he turned the $10 into something a little more substantial.

Marq

It was probably this guy

max_power

His rhymes are just about on par with prahlad friedman's "poker rap" if anyone's seen it.

Tar.Aldarion

Nj4thst better watch out,
Roundtower's about to devour, he's more deadly than jack Bauer.
When he raises, you'd better cower, he's like phil ivey
but louder. Cant even complete, he's got him begging to stop at
his feet. He's the man, that you cannot beat.

Good luck with that Roundtower
I think you've just made him a professional poet...and quite a successful one, sold his first poem. I loved the random have you read Julius Caesar? And then the correction to spell it phonetically. Pure gold. Well posted sir.
