He IS an ar$e! And you owe him NO apology! There was no need to remove your post but I see that you did already ...

Thanks again Wayne. Let"s both just make him sicker with more wins  ;)

I"ve just taken a call from Brian at Titan Poker ...

Instead of the $45,000 in EPT Tournament Buy-Ins and expenses, they"ve offered me an alternative of $40,000 (approx. £20,350) in cold hard cash, paid into my Titan Poker Account and available for withdrawal immediately.

I had calculated that I was likely to be spending around $15k of my prize on travel, accommodation and food etc. (PCA in Bahamas accommodation alone was $8.5k) and was having to take 3 weeks off work and away from my famiy. Although I would still LOVE to play in EPT Events (and I will one day), at this moment in my life (having just got married, with a couple £k in credit card debt and a sizable mortgage), I"ve opted to play it safe and accept the cash!

I will still be holding some of this money in my various Poker Accounts and playing in tourneys that I wouldn"t otherwise have been able to afford - all forthcoming online and live APAT Events and satellites for the GUKPT, EPT and WSOP Events.

And I still have the trip to London for the personal training from Annette_15 in the WSOPE Training Camp to look forward to.

Yeah defo the right decision to take the $40,000 - I would"ve rather not been given the option so I had to go to the events but if I was faced with the option I would gladly take the $40,000 in cash to wipe some debts and keep the missus happy. Although I guess you could now use some of the cash to go play in some of the smaller WSOP events this year!!!

Instacall with the cash.  Although on second thoughts, I"d raise them to $45,000 - the tight sods.

Pay off the debts, treat yourself and the missus, reinvest some into the bankroll.  Happy days.
