Welcome to 2p2. I don't know you, but if you are who you say you are, you're a really nice guy. I wish the poker community had more honest and fair people like you, but unfortunately it's the opposite. I've played live poker for over 12 years and I've seen a pattern of new players being naive/too nice. They get taken advantage of a lot in the beginning until they learn to be hyper vigilant and stop "giving". In the poker world, every dollar that you "give", you will have opportunistic leeches trying to angle you for more. Don't get me wrong, there are still some great people in poker, but poker inherently attracts a lot of greedy and scummy people who will try to get an edge any way they can.
I'd say protect yourself at the poker table from the opportunistic but don't change who you are as a generous and upstanding person because that $hit will destroy your soul.
Thanks for sharing your POV on that PNIA experience. You have many people on your side. I hope Torelli will man up and give you at least 2k back, but I highly doubt he will. We've all had to pay a price as n00bs. I still get angled occasionally but those shennanigans don't surprise me anymore and I've learned to not respond emotionally to give the scumbags any edge.
