Btw keith , i didn't mean to be harsh on you , it's nice of you that you put faith in people and sometimes people f up. Personally i think it's cool that you give a guy a chance but imo u picked the wrong one. Though this was kind of a funny story it's also very troublesome knowing some guy is out there waisting his life through irresponsible gambool behaviour. Not to mention threads like these put poker in a negative spotlight. The people opposing the legalisation of poker throughout the world will always use these stories to ' prove' poker is a dangerous game. It's pretty obvious , poker isn't dangerous , people are

Just an FYI. The site that this deal came thru is fairly small and the people involved (Krcmdc and Keith included) are incredibly nice and willing to go out of their way to help other members learn and advance their game. They were obvsly happy to risk what was (to them) a small amount of money in the hopes they could better another member. It didn't go as well as they liked but shit happens. Hopefully it doesn't turn them sour on doing it in the future.

Thanks for the kind words, but I'd think that Slevin would likely disagree. I guess I'm missing something from his background that everyone else here knows because I really don't understand all the hate he's getting here. He's a degen, a lot of people are, but they don't get the kind of hate Slevin has gotten over this situation. I mean damn, it was $120, it was a decent dinner and people want his legs broken, seems a bit extreme to me.

He did exactly what everyone seems to have known he would do. But, imo, he really tried not to do it. He put a ton of effort and enthusiasm into a complete no win situation and then to top it off, he did not receive the support he was promised. It was doomed from the start, which was my fault. And it inevitably failed, which was at least as much my fault as it was Slevins. I honestly believe that things would have been different had I done what I was suppose to do.

And no this hasn't soured us on these types of things. In fact, if legislation ever passes and I can get rid of this ridiculous "real job" I've been forced into, I'd even be willing to give Slevin another chance.
