I have been a part of two stables, as of today 1/9/2021. **This will not be a short first post. If thats what you want kick rocks. **
After reading several times of stables being aids within our community, I understand their reasoning. I don't 100% agree this is the case and this post is not a condemnation of the stable industry. I have met some people who choose to be upstanding, trustworthy humans and I have met others who choose to relish in their ability to lourde over others and use their positions as means of empowerment.
Unfortunately, this story like many of the news stories today, focuses more on the latter, than the former. Yet, I would like to emphasize the former and hold accountability to all involved, myself included; whether it be good or bad.
If you have not been lost by now (or you are still here and wish to go tldr at the bottom here is your unoriginal chance
). This post will focus on my dealings with Three Amigos Stable, but I was a part of Imawhale staking. We will get to that at a later date. Let it be noted, that my experience with Three Amigos was largely positive, except for the point of this post, which could have been avoided by both parties involved.
I joined Three Amigos shortly after parting ways with Imawhale on December 11th of 2019 (the first game i played, as a mtt pro for them). We had initially agreed on at least one 55 being included as a part of my stake with possibilities of Sunday 109s and other 55s across US sites (where I am located). However, after leaving my former stake I was contacted by one of the bosses, saying "There seems to be some diversion in your play and we would like to see some more HHs." Let me say, I agree there was some diversion. Anyone who has played mtts professionally knows there can be long periods of undesirable deviations. Yet, the bait n switch (which I had previously experienced under Imawhale) was not cool, but what was I to do, when I wanted to eat, afterall?

Keep in mind, at the time I went from playing well over a 109 abi late 2018/2019 to $15 abi with Imawhale (they had told me it was to be a 50abi) and I was in the top 5 of ALL TIME winnings on BOL. The latter is to emphasize my play wasn't the problem, although they tried to say so (fwiw two of the bosses havent played for 2 years and they havent been profitable in mtts for quite some time. Graphs can corroborate this if need be). And the former isn't to detract from the main point, only to emphasize the shadiness involved.
It is true, I would go through periods of playing amazingly nitty to insanely aggro, because nothing i did worked. Make your own assumptions here. It's not really the point of the post or this paragraph.
The point is: Just as imawhale bait n switched me by telling me I would play a $55 abi, which turned out to be a $15 abi; Three Amigos also, knowing I had already left the other stable, dropped the initial 55s included to only 33s. And so I sucked it up and grinded that for 4 months. And look, I get it. As a business you dont want to start off with higher risk/higher reward scenarios. It's a business, afterall and I don't faulth them for this mentality. But I do fault the bait n switch material, because afterall Time is Money in all financially motivated careers.
Regardless, the main point of this post is, as follows:
The accountant they have running reloads and chops is allowed to say things like this:

This is, but a small sample and a small portion of what is problematic. Me, being a libertarian, allows room for people to have their own beliefs. Yet, the problem arises when me, also having a maternal line, which is Mexican, is targeted over and over and over and over with this kind of talk. And again, me being a libertarian could care less about someone's asinine opinion, but we are in this stable to make money. This is a professional venture and I have spent countless hours dealing with this man (his name is Jeremy, but I really don't even like to mention him by name other than to out him. Would like to get his last name at some point, because I will be posting to reddit/craigslist Tijuana/Rosarito) and I would like it on record exactly what kind of people these are. If people choose to do business with them, then that's their prerogative. It's also mine to say what I wish about it.
As I was saying though, someone's difference of belief is not problematic for me. When I have to spend hours and hours (not getting reloads and missing out on grinds) dealing with people who look down upon other ethnicities/races and cost you money, because they look down on you, then yes it is problematic. I am not one of those people who say "My time is important!", or, "You are wasting my time!" I am saying this negative, hateful and during many times manipulative, antagonistic behavior wasted everyone's time involved. It wasted efficiency, it ruined moods, it injected hate and venom into the group. And ultimately, it wasted the point of what we were there to do. Play get better and make some ****ing money.
I have more examples of this type of talk and I, also, dont know how to properly embed, so perhaps someone can help me or I can redo it, if I figure it out or someone tells me how.
There were many more examples of him specifically targeting Mexicans (even though he lives in Mexico, funny ikr) but unfortunately the political chat was removed after he posted lots of his nonsense. He or one of the bosses - they consistently made excuses for him and just stated it were differences of politics - scrubbed all of his manipulative, hate speech about n word this, Adolf Hitler was great, Mexicans are of low iq (targeting me repetitively).

One of the bosses is a long time friend (perhaps the others too) so I understand the apologetic, reconciliation on their part, but to allow it and to think it is funny is another story. It is not.

Let you think of it what you will. This is just my post to tell, imo, an objective occurrence of events. I have told them, because so much of my time (as well as theirs) was wasted I have started to charge them for my time. I have some money, still in my accounts and I will be as transparent as anyone likes. I will send back what is not charged, rest assured.
If you made it through this, then I'm not sure what to say lol.
*mods, I did not know where to post this, but it feels like gossip, so i did so here.
*additionally they will attempt to smear me and for good reason. They would like to deflect and not take responsibility. Yes, it is true I was a bad kid and I did some bad/questionable things in the past. I served my time in jails and prisons, but I haven't been in any trouble since. I've made new connections and do different things. Can everyone say the same?
