Hey Scott, my friend, you hit the nail right on the head but PLEASE.... LEAVE "SAND" OUT OF IT! Thanks! LOL
Kimberly darling, you are doing a GREAT thing and those WORTHY of all your hard efforts will APPRECIATE them. If someone cannot appreciate a great opportunity presented to them, just leave them behind. Very few players in the game have a following or "draw" at this time and therefore have nothing to offer YOU. Don't get me wrong, there are some out there and even THEY don't ask for much and know how to appreciate others efforts for THE GAME and everyone overall and not just their own pitiful selfish worthless selves. If you want to be PAID like a professional, then ACT like a professional. If it is your full-time JOB to play, then YOU as the player are responsible for your OWN transportation to WORK, your own appropriate suit & tie (entry fee) and also your ACTIONS while on the work site. If you don't ABIDE like everyone else PROFESSIONALLY and ACCORDINGLY, don't be surprised if you get sent home for the day, have to meet with Human Resources or even get DOCKED PAY for misbehavior. Be happy YOU HAVE A JOB and learn to APPRECIATE IT! Perhaps if you learned how to MARKET YOURSELF as a professional and present yourself professionally, some CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS may actually come your way.

We must teach the ignorant ones (not all of them are this way) how to "play the game" for the betterment of the sport for EVERYONE to succeed and the GAME to grow.
It's NOT all about YOU! This whole "Me me me" attitude must cease so that POOL can move forward and catch up to Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
Sorry for the CAPS everyone but I only did it on the important parts. LOL
