Mr. Harriman, by now you know that practically all of us (including me) on the AZB forum want to see you get paid and also wish to see you realize your dreams as a professional pool player.
Then a gain, do you think you're the only one that's ever gone through this kind of heartbreak? I know many a person told they'd get a raise or bonus and didn't get it or got less than promised. I know consultants whose paychecks bounced because their consulting company's finances were near bankruptcy. I know countless people who've been hurt financially because others have lied to them, cheated them, or deceived them in business. Others have been promised promotions that never came, and still others have been told they'd get vacations and didn't.
The difference between all of them and you, or so it appears, is that they didn't lose any of their drive to succeed and didn't walk away from or become less committed to their respective careers because of these small setbacks.
Your choices would appear to be a) continuing to bemoan your situation and to publicly and mercilessly bash those that have wronged you, or b) to move forward and focus on accomplishing everything you can in your chosen profession.
If you prefer to pursue a different profession than pro pool, that is, of course, your choice. Wherever you intend to direct your efforts, however, if you allow these small setbacks to lessen your professional drive and ambition, you are only hurting yourself.
Mr. Harriman, it is time to turn the page and move on, so that you can start lessening the distance between you and your dreams. Winners never quit, and as you can tell from our posts on the forum, most of us think of you as a winner.
. JMHO.
