Omgwtf vs Asia

I wasn't there but I remember reading that OMGWTF played an asian girl named Asia for a few dimes. I think OMWTF was starting to run over her so this girl Asia takes her bathroom break and proceeds to climb out the bathroom window leaving her stuff behind. Man talk about an air barrel.
 
Air barreled and won a Girl friend

Back in the late 80s I was playing out of a small pool hall in Texas called Tom Slicks

I was playing this kid about 18 years old named Johnny for 10 bucks a game 9 ball , when I had him down 160 he paid off busted , he asked if I would play him for 200 against his cue

I refused his cue was not worth 200 so he said how about the cue and my gold chain , so I agreed and played him a single set race to 5 for 200 , when I won he said , hey I can go get the money I don't want to lose my cue and chain , I said leave me the cue and chain and go get the money it will be here when you get back with the cash , he said I tell you what I will leave my girl friend here to wait so you know I am coming back.

Needless to say you know what happened , Poor girl sat there nervous as hell and in about 2 hours I said Honey I don't think he is coming back ,

Her eyes got as big as saucers and teared up , she asks in a timid voice what am I gonna do , I couldn't keep a straight face , I laughed and said. I guess it means I will have to give you a lift home and settle up with your BF next time I see him. She stated emphatically " AS of Right now he is not my BF anymore " I felt sorry for the guy next time he called that mad little lady

OMGWTF gets stiffed in money game... - 02-14-2011, 02:30 AM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
 
About 25 years ago I beat a big hillbilly guy in Hardy, Arkansas out of $7 at dollar a game 8 ball.

He went out to his truck to get his money. Wonder when he's coming back?
 
ive told this story on az before. but its on point with this so

I got the rubber check payoff after beating a guy in Bird bowl in miami out of 1k or so in the mid 80s. Being young and naive I didnt see any part of it coming. The late great player Tommy Brown and his girlfriend Nikki were there and Tommy at one point sidled up to me and said "what u up?" 800 "what you betting? 50 gm. "what have you been paid" nothing. "You might wanna check and see what size shoes that guy is wearing". I still laugh when I think about him saying that to me.
 
The only time I have been air-barreled was while I was deployed... but just barely.

It was on my first rotation to Iraq, we had only been out of the US for about 32 hours and were in Kuwait doing all the dumb training that is required before you jump into Iraq.

So I walk over the the MWR (morale, welfare, and recreation), and grab a bottle of water and start watching some fellow soldiers bang some balls around. So after about 20 minutes of some SERIOUS barking back and forth between 6 or 7 guys about "you can't beat me", and "N___A you ain't sh*^"... I decide I will kindly ask if I can play.
So I step to the table and ask if I could get on the table... well "the best player" (who couldn't run 4 balls if his mortgage was on the line) says, "we don't play for free... you gotta pay to play whiteboy"

To which my response was, "I will be honest with you, I have been watching you all play for about 20 minutes, and I could beat anyone of you, playing one handed, and my bridge hand can never even touch the table"

To which there were lots of OOOOOOHHHHHH NO HE DIDN'T, and many other hysterenoics... But he said he wanted to play $5 a rack 8 ball... which was fine by me, I WAS ROBBING.

So, we both knew that neither one of us had access to cash, as they don't allow us to carry cash into country (they give you this stupid little rechargeable debit card thingy)... so for $5 a rack, over the course of a couple of hours I beat him out of $115, playing one handed, and him not winning A SINGLE RACK... NOT ONE.

At which point, we had to go to a recall formation for accountablility... well here comes the SUCK

He walks over to put his top on (we had taken our jackets off to play, and had on just tan T-shirts), and turns around and I notice he is a Sargent First Class... Senior NCO... E7...

at the time I am a very fresh E2 Private, with mosquito wings... he notices my rank and says


"You know that according to AR600-20 that gambling is not allowed across the ranks, and is considered fraternization... but you play pretty good white boy" and walks out...

He was right though, it's not like I could take it up the chain of command... as gambling in a combat zone is not allow...

SUCH CRAP!!!

I started playing a guy for a dollar game nine ball and some how ended up getting 960.00 stuck through a ton of double ups. i paid off the 960.00 and we played 100.00 a game and I eventually got up 10 games. He quit and only had my 960.00 plus another 32.00 dollars. I got air barreled for 8.00 and ended up paying all the time. LOL.

A fellow I met in the late 1980's named Sal gave me the following advice:

Anytime you gamble with someone and are genuinely concerned about getting stiffed, play by the rack and insist that payment be made after every rack. The first time you are not paid, the game is over. This way, you can only be stiffed for the value of a rack.

Seems to make sense, yet few seem to bet by the rack thee days. I wonder why not.
Click to expand...

To not get stiffed at all make them put up the last game before you start playing. Get paid after each game and when they start stalling on the pay, they're empty, so you just pick up the stakes for the last game.

Back in the sixties it was customary to expect to be stiffed for the last game. You could usually tell when they were empty and winning that last game was difficult because you knew you were playing for nothing.
 
1991, Alexandria, Louisiana. Played a kid 8 ball on the BB for $5 a game, then upped to $10 and then $20. Won about $60 off him, he paid as he went. He decides he wants to continue at $20 a game. I B/R, he puts his cue down and says "I ain't got it, sir, sorry"...I got in his face and asked if he knows what happens to guys playing on their nerve and losing...I took his high school class ring from him (piece of tritium and plastic junk). I still have it, a reminder of how stupid gambling is...that was about the time gambling stopped being fun for me, not my proudest moment.

Been a long time....

This story will give my age away but it's my best air barrel story. Sorta. Anyway when I was eighteen I was already one of the top players in my area. I was broke and needed some easy cash. There was a little pissant town in the county I lived that had a "game room" not a pool hall. Three bar boxes and a 10x5 Snooker table they didn't even know how to rack properly. But they had an 8 ball tourney every week so I decided to go. Went early cause it was a "big ball" box (yeah, been many moons) and I needed to practice. Got there and challenged a table (50 cents) and played on that for an hour. Guy I know comes in, he's been wanting to play me for money at the place I usually played in but is scared. But this is his hangout and he feels froggy. So he starts badgering me. I tell him I'm broke and barely have the money for the $5 entry into the tourney. He starts insulting me in front of all his friends. Questions my manhood. All the typical sharking BS. He won't shut up and finally says he will play for $1 unless I'm scared. So I do. He loses, doubles it. Loses, doubles again. All the way to $256. He says one more time and I finally wise up and say show me the cash. He admits he ain't got $512 and I say pay me, we are done. He admits he ain't got $256 either. Finally I tell him to give what he's got. After playing me all this time he's only got $6. That means he couldn't have had much more than $10 when he started. I mean, what kind of moron does that? I take his Meucci (nice new one at the time) and $6. Well since I didn't have a cue of my own, I use his for the tourney and win it. Sold the stick for $250 later. So I sorta got aired I guess.

Ok, air barrels are not cool at all - ever. Seen people get hurt - bad. With that being said, I have seen some crazy, funny air barrel stories. Just wanna hear some funny stories.

Yeah they're not cool when it happens to you. When youvjnowbyou got the nuts and not cash in your pocket I still think your supposed to get n the box. Ur fish/ATM/game walks in with a pocket full of money and your broke you still gotta take your shot. You just better make damn sure you win tho. $100 is the biggest air barrel I ever shot. My weekly Barbox 9 ball game got lucky won the 1st set (only 100 I had to my name!!!!).I was pisses so I flipped the coin and said "call it!!!" I won the next 4-5 sets. He had to leave me his cue. Barbox or not I hit a f'n gear i almost never ever reach and drilled the guy.
