Yeah he seemed super detailed actually. He wasn't really famous in 1997 when he bought the Ginacue, so it seems the bulk of his collection might have been before he was super rich.

Once or twice a week I play one pocket against the same guy, he is a beast to beat.
But sometimes when he is losing, he will go off that the table is off, the pocket is defective, yesterday I played very well and he made comments about how did I get in stroke,etc on and on.
So almost every time he went on a rant I went outside and had a smoke to give him more time to dwell on whatever he was complaining about.
We are two old guys in our '70's that pass the time at $5 a game, nothing to get upset about.
So anyway, I came out 8 games ahead and he said put it on the wire for next time, if there is one.

That's all ANY spot is. Less "work" for the weaker player. I don't even understand the second part. It sounds like something you say when you're too flummoxed to make sense. The whole point of any handicap system is to compensate unequally, and what exactly is the "purpose of the game of 9-Ball"?

Nobody's trying to convince you of anything. I just asked why you think a spot in a money game is any different. You made the statements below in consecutive sentences (post #28):


You do realize the irony of what you did there, right? Your money game spots change the rules of the game and literally make it so you can win a game and not make the 9. APA scoring does not, so by your logic APA 9-Ball has more to to with 9-Ball than your money games do.

But hey, you do you. If you have a choice, do what you enjoy and don't do what you don't enjoy. I pray you always have a choice.
