Hard pool lesson. Melinda probably won't play a serious match again without insisting on posting. How depressing for her.

Question is, why would you not make someone post? Playing cheap, ok, you don't have to post but playing for $2k, YOU GOTTA POST. To me, anything over $500, if someone isn't willing to post, they are looking for a way out.

I'm sorry this happened to Mel, she's a great girl. Nobody deserves this... but hopefully she learned her lesson... NO POST, NO PLAY!

This forum sure is cyclical, sometimes counter-cyclical. I don't even have to write posts sometimes. I can just do a copy-and-paste.

Here's a copy-and-paste of two veteran pool players who got air-barreled:

The three of us stepped into an elevator and in walks this cocky blond-haired kid named Pistol Pete. He looked right at Keith McCready and said, "You want to play some 9-ball?" Keith looks at him and says, "Well, sure. How do you want to play?" thinking he'd want a spot. The kid says, "I know exactly who you are, and I'll play your ass even for 100 bucks a game."

Well, Keith was, shall I say, on the shortskies for funds. Larry Lisciotti and I had some dough, and so we backed Keith 50/50. Keith wins the first game, and the kid immediately racks them. Larry says to me, "Did he get paid?" I said, "I don't know. I didn't see any money change hands." The second game, Keith wins it easy. The kid wastes no time and racks them again. This time, I said to Larry, "I don't see Keith getting paid." Larry walks over to Keith and asks him where's the cheese. Keith said the kid was going to pay him as soon as he got change. I'm thinking WTF. Change? It's $100 a game. Larry then instructed Keith to demand to be paid after the next game.

Keith again wins, and it was the third game. Pistol Pete walks over to his case on the rail, packs it up, and scurries out of the ballroom like a snake making a quick get-away. Well, Larry and me jump up and run after him, with Keith in the rears.

Outside in the lobby, a heated colloquy ensued. Pistol Pete says he ain't got no money and there ain't nothing any of us can do about it. I thought Larry was going to kill him. I was giving him a verbal lashing. However, Keith was calm as a cucumber. He listened to Pistol Pete intently, while me and Larry were hammering away at him with our anger. Keith then said to him, "Look, Kid, you shouldn't do that to people. It's okay. You can leave, but don't ever do that again to anybody, you hear?"

I was in disbelief, as was Larry. I didn't understand Keith's reaction then, but I do today. It is Keith's interpretation of that kid's air barrel that is the real meat of this story. Anybody else would have tarred and feathered the kid, but Keith only saw a young'n who wanted to play a good player for the thrill of it at all costs, even if it meant an air barrel.

Oh, BTW, we did run into Pistol Pete several months later in Baltimore. We walked into Bill and Billie's, and he was gambling with Danny Green, a local pool great, on the front table. You should have seen his eyes when he saw me and Keith walk in! What happened then, though, is a story for another thread!

Moral of the story, air barrels happen to the best of players. :D

Cmon, there are 10000 zillion different non lethal tortures that would have you reeling in seconds.

Lol, totally agree.

How long would it take to spoon out and eyeball or shop (edit: meant CHOP, but I guess shop works!) off some fingers? Those are non-lethal right? Just need a torch to solderize (another edit: CAUTERIZE... I'm on a roll today) the wound yeah?
I'm not Jack Bauer, I squirm at the thought of it...

Anywho, carry on.

I don't believe it would be pleasant for any length of time, but 10 seconds could be tolerated by anyone. I had a medical procedure where the nurse had a hose going down one nostril spraying my gag reflex, while the pulmomoligist had a pair of scissors down into one of my lungs collecting some lung tissue. This lasted quite some time. I definitely felt like I was being tortured and was gagging constantly. I really wanted to kill the nurse who was constantly saying, "You're doing fine," as she was tapping on my shoulder.

Notorious pool blogger OMGWTF just got stiffed Sunday night for 2 large ones in a money game while Alex Pagulayan and Mitch Ellerman were battling it out for winner at the other end of the room in the finals of the Swanee Memorial pool tournament at Hardtimes.

Melinda H. (aka OMGWTF) was up 13-6 in a 9 ball race to 21 against "Jessica C." (linked to "GoldenchildMVP" on Facebook) when Jessica said she was going to the restroom and then never returned. A small group, including some legends from the Cali poolworld, had gathered around to watch the girls in action and were all stunned when Melinda's opponent pulled a fast one and snuck off.

Yeah, they should have posted, but things can sometimes get complicated. This Jessica character (not sure if it's her real name) promised to post but then at the last minute claimed that since they were each holding their stake and there were a lot of witnesses they should each just keep holding till the finish.

Melinda's jumping out to a quick seven game lead and steady play must have convinced Jessica (or whatever her real name is) that it was worth leaving her cue and case at the table and sneaking off so as to avoid the inevitable pay off.

Bad action alert - "Jessica" is a twenty-something medium height Asian girl with tatoos on her arms styling herself as a badass. Claims she is living in NC now but was originally from NJ. Jessica may also be associated with "Asia Cantnobodyholdmedown" on Facebook. Am attaching a poor quality phone pic of Jessica.

Exactly. Unfortunately, tough lesson learned, tho.
 
Whats the big deal....I bet she would have paid had she actually had the money. Some times you get "caught in a spot" and realize your a little short of the loot you had promised people. Well thats all I got....its almost time for chow in the big house.

Sincerely,

Bernard Madoff

PS. If anyone see's Ruthie....please tell her to bring me more smokes during her next visit.
 
From OMGWTF's blog...I can't wait to read more.:thumbup:

The story will be posted this week. It will be long, tedious, and annoying."

You should try not being a sanctimonious cheerleader with an inflated ego.
I'm fine with Tina's opinion. Just as I'm fine with your opinion. But i find it pretty funny that a former barroom hustler feels he's in charge of morality on an open forum.

Well, thank you for believing that I am in charge of the morality on this forum.

You mistakenly give me far too much credit but it is still awesome that you would honor me in that manner.

I try to treat people the same way that I would like for them to treat me but when they don't meet me halfway they get called out for what they are and what they do.

I've never considered myself as having much of an ego but from time to time I can do some nice cheerleading. :D:p:D

You on the other hand, seem to find something to argue about and someone to argue with no matter what thread you post in.

You've been accused of being a stalker, a harasser, and a s**t-stirrer in general but I won't hold that against you, just remember to obey the forum rules and you and I will get along just fine.

I will be looking forward to some future positive contribution from you in this forum. Hopefully, it will something other than just arguing, insulting and stalking forum members.
