You absolutely bust your ass in December to get SNE then don't even hit 50k once in January or Feb?? Weren't you getting 50k in like 2 days in December??
No offense taken, I acknowledge it's a huge leak of mine. I can grind like crazy when there's a clear goal in sight, then completely slack off once the pressure is off. It's probably a problem with most grinders, but I take it to new extremes. Part of the issue is that I knew Double or Nothings were being eliminated in February. Those were by far my best game and I would've maintained SNE and probably tried for it again had DoNs remained. I was learning PLO and maybe gonna make another run at SNE or possibly just relax and play for pure profit for once, but alas the DOJ had other plans.

Do we have someone with our best interests in mind negotiating these things for us. I give Stars the benefit of the doubt that they won't screw us over, but still it'd be nice to have a SNE or someone who knows the situation better working with Stars to hammer these details out.
