Just4fun...and your reason for waiting 16 pages of threads to tell us this? This should have been post #2 in this thread, and it would have died then.

Maybe I shouldn't be posting this since it seems this has started to fade away. I simply thought a little bit of clarification could be used. Since Master9Baller isn't available to reply I won't go into the great detail I was initially thinking might be required.
I am local to the Syracuse, NY area and know both the OP and the LO. I can tell you that the OP has a reputation of always running his mouth during matches and has an unflattering nickname based on his last name that reflects his actions when playing pool. The LO has a good reputation in the area. Certainly some people dislike him and Master9baller is now part of that group. The LO is retired military, Air Force I think.
Master9Baller has told some flat out lies here, a lot of them. He states he has no reason to lie. I disagree - his reason would be to make himself look better and to deflect blame from where it belongs. Make no mistake about my view, I don't think he should have been hit for a pool game even if it was an open handed slap to the side of the head/ear.
One lie is that the LO made a ton of money on the masters league. If you played in the league then you know how much you paid in every week and then you know how much you are getting back if you win. Easy math for almost all of us. The facts are - that masters division generated $2520 total and paid back $2090 + $150 entry fee for a total of $2240. 88% return! Then how much did APA get and how much did the LO get? I don't know the split, I just know they had $280 to split between the 2 of them for 14 weeks worth of league play. Those numbers are facts not fiction. The false numbers may have been created in an attempt to gain support.
Another lie is that the LO has business associates on the other team. The LO is a Syracuse player and has no business associates on any teams. At least none that I am aware of. I play in the league so if it was known that he has partners I think I would be aware of it. The closest thing to a business associate is that 1 of the players is a Division Rep for a 8 or maybe 9 ball division. Oh, another 1 of the players is a bar owner that has league play so maybe that's it?
I was around when the LO was asking some questions about this event. It was rumored that the OP called the female parole officer a derogatory name. (see post #212 for the name). I heard the LO state he doubted that, as the OP was a Nurse and would not stoop that low. All I have to say about that is the LO gave him too much credit. Again see post # 212, the OP obviously calls people that name. If anyone calls my wife that name I can assure you I will do more than give them an open handed slap.
This is in no way everything that I see wrong with the telling of the story through the eyes of the OP. I am simply trying to say there is more than 1 side and the OP's side is very much innacurate. It's like one of those TV shows that is losely based on facts.
