edited June 2011 in Poker Chat
Spent last 2 years playing poker, generally going on tilt online but holding my own live. basicaly kept trying but getting nowhere. lost my job a month ago so took 2 week break from poker. Put my tax return in waiting for any money from that. The last contract I worked on refusing to pay last grand they owe me. Basically down to last tenner for me missus and kids. Played £100 freeroll 2 days ago and cashed £9. Turned that to £35. Entered the open satalite for £4.80 and concentrated to win the bloody thing. Not a brag just shows that if you play right u can win. During my break listened to all bloggs on here and the pros on tv. only bummer is gotta withdraw most of my bankroll........ill be back

    Well Done on the win Mate!!  It's amazing what we can dig out of our Character when the ---- hits the fan!!

    Regarding the highlighted issue, they obviosly feel thet have their reasons, but, if you are in right, speak to Citizens advice bureau, or a good solicitor, its amazing what a well-worded legal letter can do !! May only cost u £20 or so,

    These People/companies sometimes operate by only paying the people who can chase properly or 'scare' them!! Unfortunately self -employed or smaller companies can get pushed to the botton of list !!

    Good luck with it, I know exactley how frustrating it can be !!

    Poker is such a beautiful game at times. For all the bad beats you get - at the tables or away from them - there's always a chance you hit the sweetest card in the deck and get yourself right back to where you ought to be.

    Good luck to you at the tables Peacock and very, very well done.
