Ah..
The Thrill of Victory
 and
The Agony of Defeat
Was the Wide World of Sports intro, back in the '60s.
I minimize the extreme of the agony by minimizing the extreme joy of victory.
Kinda making it less important than...uh just doing my best.
Never Give Up is my favorite t-shirt. It's illustration is the Frog in the beak of the stork with hands around the neck of the stork. It ain't over until he swallow.
One of my favorite come back stories was watching Dan Louie in the first of the double elimination finals and his opponent uh hit a grandstand shot on his game, set and match shot leading 6-0 going to 7. The nine was just a gew degrees off of straight, so he knocked the back off the pocket. Giving whitey just enough to drift and Drip into a pocket. Dan won the title......again
Be sure I studied at every opportunity when Dan was playing.

I'd pay $100 to play Fedor in a race to 11 in 9B.

He's not going to run 11 racks on you.

He might string together a couple of 4 packs.

But you are going to get your chance to play a top pro. And feel the pressure of people watching. Which should make your league or whatever a little less stressful for you.

If he plays the way he's supposed to play, your only chance is he breaks dry and leaves you a shot otherwise you'll be kicking everytime you come to the table - yeah, sounds fun

The argument wasn't really about the foul, it was that the rail got involved; when Raulito picked up the 9, Oscar was rooting around in his bag w/his back turned. His guy there jumped up right away and called the foul - esto no es bueno in a gambling match! Of course all unnecessary as it was going to be clear what happened, he's still carrying the 9 ball around; but I guess you need to make a point. (6:34:30)

BTW, best watched after the fact w/liberal use of the YouTube skip-ahead-10-sec key (L) Also, you can turn on subtitles w/automatic xlation to English. Pretty cool. The announcer from Columbia was a lot of fun.

i'd rather not watch that shitshow again i rewinded it when it happened. i guess that since the breaking bad guy was wrong to point out the (very obvious) foul, the solution is that 10 dominicans need to jump around the table and wave their arms for 5 minutes. i will say though, i have rarely watched a match with them where this mass arm flailing solution isn't applied at some point, so at least they're consistent

unless you’re getting a huge spot,you’re basically throwing your money away,but why not? Memories are worth more than money. That’s just my opinion

I don't think anyone has any illusion that they would have a chance to beat him, unless it is another pro. To call it stealing is a bit harsh. He does milk every fan for what he can, which I find distasteful, but I get why he does it.

We will just have to agree to disagree I suppose.

In all fairness, he's not milking anybody if they willingly give him the $$$. I guess they get something out of it.
