Started reading this thread and as it got interesting, the issues behind mob rule etc got me thinking about a radio play on Radio I player called Comment is Free about a political commentator who is deliberately obnoxious and people on the internet trolling him etc. Well worth a listen.

Still cant get my head around this knowing Renee quite a bit as most who play UK tourney's will - Im most mindful every story has two sides but it doesnt look or sound very good thus far - Im gutted and shocked if true and need to reach for my default bad humour mode so here goes...the opening post has added an S to her name or is that a $ - very poor that one I know!

This is the most over used saying in the world in gambling circles.  How many people say this about people they never have any interaction at all with outside of a casino/card room?    You spend hundreds of hours sitting next to numerous people in the false/fake world of a casino but never ever see them outside of this environment literally ever and even though you think they are your 'friend' you actually know nothing about them.  How many people actually knew her away from gambling?  Totally outside of poker?  Very few i would imagine if she was this way inclined to steal and cheat.

True dat - I mean I did see her outside of poker (pub!) but I totally get what you mean - we will also never know why seemingly decent people do bad things - greed is not the root cause but a product of the deeper issue(s) - I just hope all ends up ok for her and all the others who have fallen such as Ben Warrington - everyone deserves a chance to say sorry and make amends - will be intersted to hear her side

[4KSuited]

If I'm not mistaken, her side consists of:

1. She recently lost her job
2. She felt she had been wronged by Paul Jackson, for reasons unspecified

Neither of these points justifies her actions to date.
 
She has it in her power to pay the c£4.3k outstanding, and make an apology.

This won't repair all the damage that has been done to her reputation, but she'll be in a far better place than she's in at the moment. A touch of humility wouldn't go amiss either, but I suspect that's asking too much. The likelihood is that she will not repay the full amount, as she will have painted herself as the victim, and the money is fair compensation for her 'suffering'. No, I'm not a psychologist, but I've seen a lot of this kind of thing over the years; the bad guys have to find a rationale that allows them to live with their actions, imo.

On a thread I was participating in yesterday, Paul Jackson said the reasons she held back money was, 1. She needed money for treatment of a sick relative that has cancer. 2. Tuition fees for he child's school and 3. She needs to pay landlord rent 12 months in advance.

[Rexas]

"1. She needed money for treatment of a sick relative that has cancer. 2. Tuition fees for he child's school and 3. She needs to pay landlord rent 12 months in advance." These are the excuses that she gave, I don't believe (although I may be wrong) that the comment about losing her job came out until after these excuses had been made.

Part of the problem I have with this is that I was in a situation a few years ago where I desperately needed money, had debt collectors hassling me etc. I played a tournament for BRS before I was a part of them and chopped it, taking a small % of myself. At no point did I consider taking the lot, despite how much this would have helped my situation. The amount I took away was enough to pay off a fair chunk of the debt I was in and give me a little more time to try and sort things out. If I hadn't won that money, I would have been in bad shape, but not buried.

Renee is basically trying to claim that she is in so much trouble that 8k wouldn't have been enough to get her out of it. If that's truly the case, what on earth would she have done if she hadn't won this money? Was she planning to just punt tournaments until she had a big win, and then grim whoever had put her in to that particular one? Just seems completely ludicrous to me, when I was in money trouble 8k would have been way, way more than enough to get me on the right track, and an extra 8k wouldn't be worth sacrificing friends and reputation for. The string of excuses just doesn't sit with me. Tuition fees for child's school? I'm pretty sure she doesn't have kids (although not 100%), but either way what? If she hadn't won, her kids wouldn't have been able to go to school? Money for the treatment of a sick relative, then again what happens if she doesn't win this money? And the 12 months rent, would she not have had a place to live if she hadn't won?
