With all the April Fools jokes, I was just wondering how many times everyone has been tapped. I was busted twice: once during my junior year in high school while living in New York (had to get a delivery boy job to rebuild) and 6 years later during my junior year in college (good old scholarships to the rescue to rebuild the roll).

I had a response for your thread before I realized it was a joke. It was basically grow a sack and keep playing.

Broke = no more bankroll. Completely busted; not even enough money to buy into a 4-8 game. That's broke.

why do you all insist that it is mandatory to go broke at some point playing poker?

I tend to agree....why it has to be a given is a question to me. Maybe if you are playing for a living, I can understand it more. If you aren't, then it sounds like bankroll mismanagement. IMO.
