On phone now, but will provide a detailed post once I get to computer this evening.
I do have a strong preference to wait until you bust to pay and will explain in post, but you will have multiple options since I didn't clarify in sign-up OP.
For now sit tight, check this thread this evening, and follow the instructions in my post as to what to PM me.
If any places tie they split the money for x places (goes without saying).
Payouts:
As mentioned I'd strongly prefer to pay as people bust this. The reasons are somewhat obvious, but saving time and limiting the exposure of my accounts by limiting transactions is a major priority. It's probably something I'll build into the OP next year, but since I didn't, I'll let everyone decide on an individual basis via PM. I know you may be thinking "How hard can it be to click a few buttons and send payments", but invariably I can assure you that for at the very least one payment I'll need to either load money on PP, go to a physical bank to deposit cash in someone's account, or find a swap for PS, etc.
There is also a pretty high likelihood this either ends in a 5-4-3 way tie, gets 3-handed and is chopped again, ends in a 2-3-4 way tie for 2nd all in the next couple weeks.
Regardless of how you want to proceed, please send me the following info:
-PP/Bank/PS info (even if you are waiting until it's over I'd like the info so I can start moving money where necessary i.e. PP, PS).
And one of these 3 choices:
A) Pay me when I bust or win.
B) Don't pay me now, but I may ask at some point if I keep surviving before I bust (kind of a middle ground given the next weekends are pretty tough with everyone's card, maybe you want to be paid but want to see how this weekend goes first to maybe limit my transactions if everyone busts, maybe you want to be paid before Thanksgiving even if you are still in, etc).
C) Pay me as soon as you can this week (will depend on method, but shouldn't take longer than 24-48 hours).
So, your PM should look like this:
PP info: xyz at abc dot com
option A
That's all I need from you, and I'll keep whatever decision you make confidential. Thanks in advance for the consideration of my time.
Also, goes without saying, but keep all payment info to PMs. It's a huge negative freeroll to you to post that info in this thread, so don't do it.
I can't post in SE, but people saying tdomeski shouldn't play poker right now have absolutely no clue whatsoever. This isn't just some random donk that thinks he can play poker. He was a regular winner at 25/50 for years and years. Obviously what he did was terrible, and he's obviously got some big-time degenerate gambling problems, but he still has poker earning potential that's >>>>> his non-poker earning potential.
And as someone who's done tons and tons of sports bets on 2+2 and been scammed a few times, I'll say the people who pay back their debts on something like this are always the ones who stay in the poker community and keep playing poker. If he tried to work a square job, he'd make a few small payments, and then eventually the mountain of debt would seem like too much, and the poker people he doesn't have anything to do with any more would seem like an abstract entity, and he'd stop making payments. That's how it works. In order to pay it back, he has to feel a connection to the poker community and value his rep.
As an example of someone who made good, backrhodes owed $40K for freerolled sports bets, and he was nowhere remotely in the neighborhood of being as prolific of a poker player as tdomeski, but he kept grinding away on his stake month after month, making payments where he could, and 2.5 years later he had the whole thing paid back. If Taylor keeps grinding poker, I'd say it's about 90% the debt gets repaid in full. If he quits, I'd drop that to about 10%.
Wow I am officially done with this crap. Here's a guy that I thought was 100% standup based on his previous record and he had escrowed a lot. It's official folks NOONE is trust worthy in these situations. I'm done with all fantasy and done with the marketplace too. FU scammers
Do you guys think it makes sense for the 3 of us still in to just chop this right now and hope to be paid?
I would consider something only because of the current circumstances but couldn't be an even chop. I advanced already since I took New Orleans Thursday night.
If he tried to work a square job, he'd make a few small payments, and then eventually the mountain of debt would seem like too much, and the poker people he doesn't have anything to do with any more would seem like an abstract entity, and he'd stop making payments.
This is not true if you obtain a court order to garnish his wages after receiving a favorable civil judgment. This is the route I would try and take.
If he refuses to get a job and keep degening poker with other people's money, I would seek a court order for his property.
As discussed, Tdomeski now owes the first place payment to Admo. I think Rivermans payment goes to Admo as well but will leave it up to him to comment.
