Update on the Des Moines pool scene

Oh man just checked the US Open brackets...a former ring game winner is still on the winners side after putting it on Marlon Manalo...now Demi plays Donnie Mills...wish him luck.

Lil Keith ran into Majid, not good.

The Earl train is still rolling.

This is the year of the upset in the US Open...Parica dismantled SVB, If Earl gets by Lee Van he has to be a favorite to close it out from there.

Ok Bruce....

You know you are having a bad day when....

You just get done having sex with your girlfriend and when you are done you find a condom hanging on the end of your junk....Problem is you weren't wearing a condom.
 
I'm really into the US Open right now Bruce.

I wish I could see the Demi/Donnie Mills match later. Donnie is steam rolling world champions right now. I might go ahead and bet his way when he plays Shane some Rack Your Own.

I don't know if the Jody/Jamie match is gonna have part 3 or not. I did figure out a solution, at least one in my head anyway, to help end their rivalry. People play 1 hole by the game all the time. Why not play 9 ball by the game? Maybe $20/game or something around there for their session would work out better for them. That way they know they get paid and only win what they earn. Anyone think that will work?

Thats such a trifling woman, I might propose over some shit like that!

Interesting idea, but I bet you at least one if not both people will not agree to it. It's not their style. People prefer sets in nine ball plain and simple. A better idea is to POST the money, therefore you will get paid instead of IOUs. If you can't post, you can't play.
 
An ahead set is by the game to a certain number that you agree to pay out on. If you play by the game the same thing gets accomplished. Just figure out the financials in advance. I don't think either of them would quit very early.

That's happened to you too huh? .... Glad I'm not the only one. She said she just kept it there just in case.....lol. Thanks Matt!
 
Last nights posting earned me $100.

The reason 1pkt is played by the game normally is because a game can take between 20mins and an hour. 9 ball game can take 30 sec. Thats also why 1pkt is the more skillful game. You gotta work to win those game ... so much fun ! ! !

I have no idea if they are playing today either.
 
I'm 9-2 on US Open matches bet on so far, Lil Keith derailed me and Donnie Mills has been a safe bet.

9 ball has skill, play 10 ball if you don't want the break to dominate the games. What difference does time make? You're trying to fade runs with runs. An ahead set and by the game are no different except you pick a mutually agreed upon stopping point. If you also pick a max length of game, you prorate the set by the game. For all intensive purposes if someone won $200 playing 20/game they still had to get 10 ahead to do it.

I also have to disagree about people liking sets as a majority. I feel like I see more $5/game 9-Ball or 10-Ball than anything else. Maybe that's mostly on the big tables though. Takes longer to get the money but also harder to lose it right back, that's whats nice about by the game.
 
You can't break and shit out in 1pkt is my point.

True, you do have to make your balls. Sometimes people get lucky and rack themselves bad enough to make a ball on break though. 1 pkt is an acquired taste. It's hard to get into and appreciate when it's not played at a world class level IMO.
 
Jon B. vs Scott H. ?????????

SO, this ever gonna happen? I'd really like to see Jon and Scott play.


As for Jody and Jamie, playing by the game is exactly like playing an ahead set. Only issue I would see is that the total bank roll should be determined ahead of time and make sure a time allotment is set. For instance, both players post up ($500?). Agree to a per-game amount($25?). Agree to a timed(6hr?) session. Then play till the time is up or all the $$ is gone, which ever comes FIRST. Basically a 20 ahead set or 6hr session that is prorated if no one goes busted. Who do I think will win? hmmmm.... I would prolly lean towards the side of Mr. Hair. I'd even put the $100 that Jamie owes me on it!!!

Matt, that is pretty nasty!!! But, remind me to tell you a story when I see you........

Oh and Jon/Scott...fuggettaboutit!

It's been put on hold for a while. I think it will happen in the future, but just not right now.
 
Still on a rush betting on the US Open record is now 13-2. I am picking Earl over Lee Van and Ralf over Stevie, Donnie Mills over Demi, and Morris over Melling. See how that goes!
