stitched up over a % II

[77dave]

ok the last thread had been deleted it seems that i gave a few too many details and left too many clues for people to work out who the player in question was.

im happy for the thread to of been  removed and started again i think it was done for my benefit as much as blondes was just looking for some advice and putting awareness out for other blondes

ok so start again

i have been involved in a deal with another poker player for the past yr where we swap 5% with each other in all festival events that we play.
in this yr i have paid him out a lot more than he has paid me.
he has recently had a 5 figure cash at a recent event so i was expecting my 5%

he has completly blanked me over this and it looks like 3 weeks later he is not going to give me a penny

the purpose of the thread was to ask advice if anyone else has been in a similar situation and to raise awareness for other players to be careful about who they do deals with

thanks mate, and sorry for Volume I having to go.

Try find out if there is a problem with him, talk to him directly in a calm way about it. If there is no budge with him and you believe your 100% right, inform your close friends and poker associates about him. His rep will soon proceed him.

Money makes a mockery of many so called friendships, very sad.

Blimmin eck, he did it again?

Lose 'im

the trouble with swapping percentages is fantastic when your losing and a friend is supporting you but not so good when you have a nice win and you have to pay out a chunk of your prize to someone else 

i tend to not swap percentages with anyone unless i really have to as acidmouse said it has made a mockery of many so called friendships.

[Snatiramas]

remember this. You are at the poker table as you are in life. We know what sort of person this is. Long term he will not have the depth of friendships that you will enjoy. The short term pain will pass. Let's be honest the money comes and goes for all of us. The pain is there from the actions by a supposed friend. Only time will heal that. Bit deep for me........going to go and get a beer

why dont you name and shame him, or did you on other post, i was missing for past few hours?

so who is he?

[77dave]

the first thread was deleted for legal reasons as i gave too many details  i have been asked not to name the player he is not a blonde and  is someone who 95% of people on here will not know

[CelticGeezeer]

Name and shame him on the Mob forum they wont mind.

thats right

Even if you do not name the individual if people can safely infer from the details given who the player is then if he chooses to sue for defamation then its still a risk for blonde

Think Ashley Cole and NOW magazine for a parallel, and with respect most other fora should not allow it either

[CelticGeezeer]

Ashley Cole is loaded and can afford to take legal action against a publication which has defamed him.

I am not sure that an internet forum can be held responsible for every comment published, and if it can what a great scam that could be     

What about the Gold case.

Or you could just forget about it, as UB Obviously want me to do :

Paul,

I understand your position on this matter, but as stated in the previous emails there is nothing we can do as it is not our responsibility and we can not take part in any agreement made by our players at the final tables. Please understand that we known that what this player did may be wrong, but we can not punish him because we just can not do that. He has his reasons and he has explained them to us.

Now, I recommend you to stop following this player as it seems that he will not transfer the funds to your account. If you keep following him he can actually report you for harassing and, depending on the case, your account can even be permanently disabled. You could probably think that it wouldn't be fair for you, but those are the rules and we have to stick to those rules. 

We are really sorry that this had to end up like this, but now you now that it is better not to make any deals if you don't know the other player.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

Best regards,

who stiffed you Paul?
