I hate all these posts about getting "your money" back. It isn't your money, it's his. You lost it, he won it. He doesn't have to play you, any more than any bum off the street has to play you. His money is his to bet or not bet as he wishes.
But then again, I'm a nit.
Anyway, there's a possibility that nobody seems to have mentioned yet: he may think you were laying down. If he does, then he knows the old number 1 way to beat a hustler: let him lose to you at first, as hustlers do, and then quit, and enjoy your new spending cash.

I agree with easy-e and mikeyfrost above. Maybe he just doesn't like you or your action?
I've had guys woof at me, pi$$ me off (usually by disrespecting me and/or a friend) and I play them and take their money. After that it's funny and becomes a running joke to me when they want to play again and they get pi$$ed off when I say no. I think: been there, done that and don't want to play that a-hole again because it's not fun (I don't need the money and can easily find fun action when desired). It's nice to know you can rub some a-holes the wrong way by just walking into a room and doing nothing.
Remember the old adage: You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
Maybe next time you see him try just being nice to him! Ask him if he wants to play for fun because you "liked" playing with him (not because you want to get back at him). Be nice and let it go at that. Dog it if you have to and make sure he wins. Thank him for the game(s) and let him know you "enjoyed" playing him. Then, if he ever wants action, let him propose it. Trap set.

Edit: Also what Andrew said above. The best fun I've ever had was when some guy that was about even speed with me kept woofing and woofing at me (he was a known hustler around town and was bad action and an a-hole -- I'd watched him play many times). Told him I wouldn't play him unless he gave me a healthy spot. He told me I could "sit in my chair until my ass grew roots". I just didn't want to play him because he was an a-hole.
Eventually, he came around and gave me good weight just to get me on the table with him. I kicked his butt and he quit. After that it was a continual source of amusement to me whenever he woofed at me and wanted to play even to try and get his money back (because I never played him again).
Bottom line: Once I've got some rude a-holes goat (and they are no fun to play), why give them a chance to get it back? Especially, if they (and/or the posse they run around with) try to shark anyone they play with dirty tricks or try to make things into some kind of moral/honor issue!
To paraphrase a line from the Color of Money: Cheese stolen from someone else's mousetrap is twice as tasty as the stuff you buy in the store.

And if he doesn't ever want any more action, then you can go on an internet forum and b**** about it - again.
Bottom line - if you're going to gamble, you are not entitled to win, or come out ahead.
he is talking about me, im not afraid to admit it, and i will 100% for sure play again, i will tell you exactly what has happened and why we havent played again the first time we set the game up was a week after i won the 600 i agreed to play in cincinnati, my tip popped off my stick in the beginning of the tournament and i went 2 and out in the tournament so i didnt play cause i felt it would be a complete donation, the 2nd time was in columbus and i agreed to play but you played mike brown and kevin tomlin instead of me and just expected me to sit their for hours waiting on you to finish with them before i played, not happening. And the only other time was in cincinnati again i beat him in the tournament and after the match he throws a big fit about me ducking him, i just replied good shooting went on about my business as i had no time to gamble since i made it all the way to king of the hill in this tournament and by the end of the tournament he had been gone for 7 hours so, yes we have been supposed to play 3 times since i beat you but aside from the first time when my tip came off it hasn't been me ducking anyone, you can ask anyone that knows me if i say im going to play i will, and i have as much gamble as anyone.
So ed if you want to come to dayton and play for 300, 500, 1000 or more you can come play anytime you want and if i dont play ill give you 200 for driving down here!

tex, im gonna make another bag of popcorn, you want some while im up? this is gonna be a great show
It's been a year since you played him. Maybe he lost his job and is tapped out. Maybe he got religion. Maybe he got married and his wife won't let him gamble. Maybe his Mom and Dad, a neice, and two cousins twice removed were all killed in a roller coaster accident and he spent all his money on the funerals. The list goes on...
Who was the winner?
Actually he is very much available...just wondering if it ever happened.
Super-ultra-mega-nit. What a va-jay-jay. Guy's not worth your time, IMO but it sucks you are out 600 to him.
Did you guys miss the post on page two, the other guy is a member of AZ and posted a response
Where is Lenny... lets get this thing ontherail
BOOM...... " I love the smell of NAPALM in the morning" !!!!!!
Just a lil sumthing to think about...maybe you played him really close last time and he's been practicing like a mother waiting for the next time since you seem to be so eager to play,and then he'll dump the first time out,ask for a rematch and try to break you.."BIG" old hustler trick,they do alot of that up here in cleveland.
is he broke? that might be what's happened.
