[MicroBob]

I don't think highly of the g0lfa guy either...but the OP trying to get out of his loan because he legitimately lost a big hand to him and din't like the way he played it is completely idiotic.

This guy could be hacking accounts left and right and multi-accounting and colluding on Stars all day long, etc etc. The OP still very obviously owed the $500 to him.
He was correct to finally pay him. He was incorrect to try to find a way out of it.

And a big-time LOL at "I would expect a friend to pay me back the $2200" bit. WTF?!?!

Moral of the story for the live-game: Don't play above your bankroll.

IOW - Ansky is 100% correct.
