It was VCs money, they gave me a $200 credit after I made a complaint. The issue was resolved however (very belatedly) and I ended up $200 up on the deal. So I actually came up 3 short of my 40 rebuy target!
Dang, out 1st hand after rebuy period. Pushed with my nut flush draw and I guess my 'folding equity' was low, I got called by second pair. No spade came...
I have been Wardonkey for many years. The name was spawned when I was trying to find an email address that wasn't something boring such as name_name@hotmail. I had been called Warhorse by a few friends at school. This was due to my style on the sports pitch,which mostly involved great effort and little skill on my part. Anyway there were already loads of Warhorses and I didn't want to just add a number so my friend suggested Wardonkey and Wardonkey it has been since.
