Default Re: OT - Today, I am no longer a pro

I have read your post several times and like you I have a gentlesmans family much the same ages. I do not think that I would be able to play SNG's/Poker profitably under those circumstances. The fact that you even broke even speaks volumes for itself. Now that you have released the pressures that prevented you from playing your A game I think you will see the fruits of the last nine months pay dividends.
I wish you and your family all the best in the future.

In mid 2006, the government decided they REALLLLLY wanted the taxes owed from the restaurant I co-owned and started a garnishment on my wages which reduced my bring home earnings to under 30% of what they were before. The earnings left over after the garnishment were not enough to pay the bills (I am married with 2 children).

This actually frigthens me. Now I do not live in America but this is really scarey stuff. The federal Government clearly put the welfare of your family and particular your children at risk to some horrible scenarios just so that they could claw back some $$'s owed in taxes. This needs to be changed and only you and others can bring this change about.
