Louie Roberts Award and J. Lee

Let's see, to answer the trumped up false reasoning she:

Bet her own money - check
Bet at least 10 dimes of her own (that seems to be the Ricky Byrd number) - check
She gave weight - check
She made games - check

Additionally, any of these silly reasons (which to be very clear have no bearing on who can be considered for the award) would be ridiculous to use as scrutiny for other winners. For example, Chris Bartram. His year wouldn't have passed many of your complaints. Who would deny his merit for the award.?

Bottom line: she was in action and entertaining. She's been in action every year I've seen her at the DCC. EVERY YEAR. The only difference this year was she happened to stand out more from an entertainment perspective. Same as Scooter in his year. Same as Bartram in his year. Same as Cliff in his year...

Its not politics, it's sexism. I wasn't there so all I know is what I was able to surmise from having my face pressed to the screen for both the TAR and Accustats streams (thanks for your fine work BTW) full time and from what I saw Jeanette Lee goes beyond simply qualifying for consideration. She ought to be given the award.

I don't get what it is about accepting female players. I turned a friend of mine who plays about like me, maybe a little better, on to the J Lee vs Tedder match and he was telling me "we" would beat her handily and I was way wondering which we he was referring top because J Lee would pound the "us" I thought he and me were.

Anyway, the action matches I saw of hers were very entertaining, pretty well played, for more cash than I've ever bet, with plenty of rail action and interest, and she did that every night. Louie would be proud (RIP you crazy crazy talented big hearted man).

Thanks

Kevin

Jeanette was involved in the game making process from beginning to end, she bet her own dough and lots of it, she covered all the rail action that came to her and she played most of her games even or with some small weight. And she played multiple sets night after night, not just one set a night. Plus she played with several different individuals at different games on different tables. I think she would play on the floor if the bet was right. She's got my vote!

AND she still found time for her family and to spend time at her booth visiting with fans! Talk about multi tasking. The funniest thing all week was when Jeanette was in action upstairs and two beefy security guards looked in the room. I was standing right by the door. One of the guards looked at the other one and said, "See, what did I tell you." The other guy looked back at him and responded, "My God, it is her!" Jeanette noticed them and asked me what that was all about. I told her they wanted to see if it was really you in here playing pool for money. Now they have a story to tell their families, they saw Jeanette Lee in action!

Once again, Jay hits the nail on the head...

Jeanette DEFINITELY gets it! That coming from someone who was SEVERELY injured by her in the AZ room (the butt end of the cue to my left buttocks). She'll need the award to pay for all of the rehab I surely will need for months to come! ;)

I doubt Jeanette Lee would want the kind of publicity that the Louie Roberts Award would bring,

Already had a private discussion with Jeanette on this to make sure I knew where she stood with the award and the status that came with it, in case she was a contender. She was alright with the award and didn't see a downside.

That's about all there is to that. It's an important consideration, so I was compelled to give her the opportunity to decline if it came to it. But, there are no issues, so we move forward with the voting.

Good to hear. Thank you Fred. Johnnyt
 
I assume the voting is limited to those who were in attendance at the DCC?

It makes the most sense and has been that way since I took over the head of the voting that the primary voters have to have attended the Derby City Classic. There are well over a hundred forum members that participate in one form or another and make it to the DCC.

Last year, I added an email address for chat members to vote, but their vote is discounted since they don't see everything and can only base their vote on what TAR streams and what the commentary is. Last year, I received dozens of email chat voters. This year, not so many. So far however, just like last year, the chat voters have agreed with the primary voters.

Fred, first off, pleasure meeting you...now, down to the nitty (oops not that kinda nitty) gritty. I was there for a few days, and everytime I stopped by the action room Jeanette was either playing someone or looking to. Sure, there were plenty of players in action ALOT this year, but the Black Widow packed in the audience. No brainer as far as I see it.

BTW, after Shane shot with my cue for awhile I thought maybe some of his stroke might rub off on it....NOPE! I still suck :eek: Oh well, still had a GREAT time. Looking forward to doing it again next year! :thumbup:

Anyone who watched the stream for any length of time would see the brutal moves she pulled on several diffrent situations...No way she should even be considered

Yeah, Scooter, Harry P, and about 10 others in the action room would never do that.:rolleyes:. Johnnyt
