What's happening then? Sort of ditto Pleno, we should have at least offered Sunday stake in this thread - if you binked Sunday to say I would have been pissed off is an understatement mate. It's not a biggie, as i know ou would not have done with any bad intent.....but can we sort approach with last 800$ and approach going forward so no more contentious areas
OK I will address this in here:
AS you all know I have played pretty much zero poker for 2+ months. Last week I have had verbal confirmation that my huge dispute over money is over and that funds have been transferred ( I will not know if they are in my bank till Wednesday).
So I woke up on Sunday morning feeling pretty incredible for the first time this year. I planned a day and thought "oooh wouldnt it be nice to put in a nice grind tonight". I did think of this thread, but the reality was as follows:
1. There was absolutely ZERO consensus on a spin (ironically Pleno in particular was against it).
2. There was no way I would get peoples thoughts on it in 3 hours on Easter Sunday, not even if I thought the answer would be yes (which I have had no indication throughout the thread that this would be the case)
3. Funds did not cover the stake required.
4. Are people seriously suggesting that they would have been happy if i made a unilateral decision to spend the stake money on a personal spin up on another site without permission? We have plenty evidence itt against that, so I will leave you to come to your own conclusions. I believe I absolutely made the correct decision.
5. Lots of other reasosn I cant even be bothered to type.
So I thought, "well, there is zero chance of me selling to 1 backer, I might not even sell out, so if any of my backers want in, then they will have ample opportunity to take x%"
Not withstanding the above, the thread is a Party Poker stake. I would have no reason to believe that people would want action on stars? Am I to assume that everyone also wants to buy the same %'s of me when I sell a SCOOP package shortly?
The ONLY reason I believe a backer in this thread could have an issue is that I havent played poker in 2+ months and then I suddenly want to play on stars. Well I am really sorry that having only my 2nd good day in 2012 has led to you feeling that way. I offer my apologies for that. However you can find fault in any position, you might argue Im better off breaking off the rust with my own money prior to jumping back into a stake.
I believe that my actions in not playing the stake for 2 months were both sensible and justified. I would not have played with my own money during that time, and certainly not with others. I made it clear that was the case and told any backer that I would tell them why if they PM'd me.
I sincerely hope that this puts it to bed. Hopefully I wake up tomorrow morning to a shiny gleaming bank acct with money in it and we can move on from there. Ill keep you posted tomorrow
