So Whats Next For TAR

Joe Rogan said:
It would have to be for money. Better yet, money donated to charity.
If I had to play for the sick fish I would be so nervous I wouldn't be able to make a ball :)

I would love to do something like this. It would really get me motivated to practice.

Charity with sidebets of course.

TAR meets Entertainment Tonight. I can see it now.
 
Two great young players

Would be a fair match between Justin and Mike D. I am for Justin as I won on his last match but its about time Mike D got some national recognition. Justin would have to play his heart out. But he can do it.
 
I heard Daniel Negreanu plays pretty good, that might be a good match for Joe R. It might also get some more action from the poker players, those guys have LOTS of gamble.

I know Daniel will gamble at pool (and golf especially). I have known Josh Arieh for years, and he will DEFINITELY bet it up on a pool table. He plays pretty sporty too.

Actually Joe Rogan and Daniel Negreanu have some history. Below you can find the articles and read up on it. Both guys are great characters, good guys, and each love pool very much. I'd imagine these two play pretty close. I think this would be a hell of a matchup and bring in a tremendous amount of viewers if marketed properly.

Well I got really siked about this idea of celebs playin 4 the cash and decided to contact Daniel Negreanu. Hopefully he will respond 2 the email I sent. JCIN I hope u dont mind but i statd in the email that it was your company that would put on the tournament/action. I think this is a great idea and will do wonders 4 the sport. I dont no about Josh Ariea though dont no what he will do he came 2 Mobile a couple of times but i dont remember him ever playin. I no my boy Matt woffed at him a couple of times 2 c if he would play himself or I (i think thats proper english), but he wouldn't play me. Ill have 2 call Matt 2 c if he ever played him that was a long time ago. I like were this is going if we keep pushin it we will probably c Joe vs sum celeb whos got sum gamble. HAHA this would be great.

That would be a solid match. I used to read Negreanu's blog back in the day and he was always talking about pool. I also know the OB Cues guys were looking to do some sort of charity event. Jon Kutcher the owner of Pool Sharks in Vegas has a 9 foot Diamond in a pit and I know he would be in on something like this or I am sure we could find a spot in LA.

The First Celebrity Action Challenge. 9 Ball Race to 21 for $5K. Proceeds go to the winning players charity of choice. I guarantee sponsors would get in on this and that would cover the expenses of getting everyone in the same place, we would stream it free and the Ustream guys would pump the hell out of it. If Negreanu would play we could get our friendly woof on in the poker forums :D

I am excited now. Joe if you are interested, do you have any idea what time of the year you could do something? This could be pretty kick a$$.

I am all jacked up too. I just sent a nice note explaining what TAR is and what we do and that Joe Rogan said Daniel is a lilly livered nit with the heart of flea who wouldnt bet water was wet for a quarter and to get his ass up and play some.

Ok....I actually didnt say all that but I did send him a note asking if he would be interested. What the hell...if you dont ask the answer is no.
 
I listened to the radio show. Joe was very respectful of Daniel and his "job" playing poker. He seemed genuinely amazed that someone could make that kind of money playing cards. Joe did get a little over the top talking about ex-girlfriends in general. That's just his kind of outrageous honest humor. Joe talks about shit that no one else will touch. Kinda cool I think. Daniel is a little too sensitive and defensive in his blog IMO. He makes Joe sound like a retard, which he definitely is not. I'm betting all my money on Joe if they both take IQ tests.

Anyway, speaking of a match. Daniel has been known to gamble at pool. Hell, he gambles at everything he does. His background in Canada is playing a little snooker. And we've all seen his commercial where he makes a jump shot (on the 20th try I heard). I'd like to see these two guys go out at it playing a little 9-Ball. With their respective bankrolls, a large bet would be easy to make. I like Joe's idea of playing for charity, but it's doubtful Daniel will go for it. He's too into the cash, like most (not all) poker players.

I don't think Daniel has to beat Joe. In fact, I make it a toss-up. It would actually be good publicity for both guys. Let's get it on!

So if Joe and Daniel played, they'd put up their own cash and then donate it to charity?

I would imagine that if the cash was donated, both players would feel better about it, playing and pocket wise.

You could do it all kinds of ways. The winner keeps his $5K entry and donates the $5K he wins to charity or if the winner is magnanimous just donate the whole $10K. Plus there would be ways to raise money from outside for the charity pot. Basically added money. I like the idea of the guys having something to lose otherwise it is just an exhibition which would be cool but not as cool as a real action match and the heat that comes with it.

Ustream is really hot to work with us because everytime we broadcast with them we bring good traffic so they would help promote it along with all the buzz that would be stirred up on line. Then stream it for free so everyone can sweat it and the sponsors would get a good audience. When it is done it gets archived so people can watch it whenever they want. Both Joe and Daniel could embed the stream on their pages so their forum members could sweat it without ever leaving the home page.

It really could be sweet.

See what all our ideas combined did!!!!!!!!! A match made 2 do sumthing big. I could hardly sleep last nite with all the ideas I had floating in my head. Hopefully Daniel will step up 2 the plate though and not worry about the beef him and Joe had. Or at least use it as a motivator. Really this match dosnt have 2 be for charity but it would be a nice gesture. I know no one would be disappointed if it was just for the cash. I hope it all works out.

I gotta admit when people throw out match ideas most of the time there is just too much in the way to even make it possible. But Joe seems like he may be open to it and Daniel has a history of doing stuff like this so maybe there is a shot. It is definetly worth pursuing. The up side for the game could be huge. Plus it would be a hell of a lot of fun.

I think that sounds like a hell of a lot of fun for me!
If he's not into the charity, we can just play for the money. That's fine with me. It should be a blast either way!
I'll have to clear some time on my schedule, but doing it in vegas should be no problem at all. I'm there all the time anyway.
 
I say let each of the players bet whatever they are comfortable with. The more money bet the more exposure it will get. 5K is pocket change for these two guys. This could be huge for pool & TAR and I am very excited about the prospect of it.
 
Well lets push the pressure on Daniel. Make him look like a girl if he dosnt. lol j/k. All we gotta do is get Daniel in it and we got it wrapped up. We will just have 2 wait and c. Lets just hope he actually gets the messages we sent.
 
It would definetly be good for pool. maybe even get some of that poker money flowin our way. Plus id like to see both of their games.
