Chapter 5, Not Giving up on the Road

Was it, Rudolph, the Red Nosed Stranger?

And speaking of Strangers, dint yer Mother tell you not to play pool with Strangers.

Yer lucky for 10 bucks in the USA. If you were in Canada, that wouldn't buy you and hour of table time, let alone any little luxuries like food at the hall.

When I was working in the USA in 1980, I was in Raleigh NC for 10 days. I was amazed at what a 20 dollar bill would get me. A carton of Marlboros, beer and snacks for the night.

A 20 in Canada at the moment will barely get you a 6 pack at the off sale

she jack it up

Hey, didn't this thread teach you anything by now. Its jacket and back it, or is it the other way round?

Maybe ya gotta have a Steak Whores to jacket it and back it.

The only time that I give my opponent Wait, is when I go have a Pee and make em Wait for me. Hey, it happens when ya get old.

Rhea hasn't been around. Ignoring us now. See what happens when yer rich and famous. She has enuff now to play 10 one dollar races to 30.

Well, at least she is playing in a real pool hall. More than I can say as we lost ours a few months ago. Only place to play is at the bar if you want to suffer drunks all night. Taint worth it most nights.

Can't wait for her trip to Florida, when she will sleep in the airport for two days waiting on a text, then slip into a vacant 747 for a few winks.

Get you some of dem crawfish, sha, while you're down in Cajun country.
 
I was playing at Emeralds, I returned to White Diamonds in time to see who finished first through fourth in the mini tournament, sky split it with john morra.

not to be confused w/ a "Marke Thore".
(it's an inside Furniture Market joke, longstanding - and it's obviously been a loooong day)

so is that why The Mars Man has THE HOTTEST AVATAR @ AZB?

MH1 :cool:
 
I think Rhea is starving for attention and has baited everyone on this thread to buy in to her story. Good job Rhea...you got what you asked for. That being said, there are a couple of things in life... 1.) what you think is real and 2.) reality. Reality always wins. If its all true, she is an idiot. If half of this story is true, she is an idiot. To the people who say, "follow your dreams", you are idiots too. Come to my town and I will bust you and not even give you cab fair...because your an idiot. I will sit in my high-rise over looking lake Michigan in Chicago, count the money you lost to me and then go to my easy job where they over pay me and gloat that I never have to sleep in a truckers truck or wait at the grey hound station. By the way...I'm getting paid writing this.

PM me you got action. Cash only.

Ok, I got a couple Chinese kids who are following their dreams, who have slept in bus stations, and who would like to play you for everything you can possibly gather together.

You up for that or is this offer only open to low level players?

I am one of the idiots who said follow your dreams. :-)

I haven't really been following the Rhea story much but it seems to me that she is providing the forum with a lot of free entertainment. Somehow she is making it from spot to spot and doing her thing. I guess other than going into someone's truck she hasn't actually hurt anyone other than herself so what's the problem really?

Makes "CENTS" to me.
 
The problems are

1. She isn't properly rolled.
2. She's not good enough.

When I think of a road player, I think of either someone that hides their true speed and gets in good games. Or someone that plays their true speed and can outrun the nuts. Rhea doesn't strike me as either type of person.

There's a difference between love and infatuation.

She's infatuated with the game and the road player lifestyle.

She is a Nickle, Dime road player. But she has the guts too try, what many only talk & dream about.

Some people are happy putting smiley faces on kids at Wal-Mart's front door, or others follow a dream.

Well, thing is that she is living the Road Player lifestyle somehow. And documenting it for all to see in all it's glamour.

Now I do agree with you that she is not typical road player material. Road players to me are players who are threats to beat any top players heads up in any given set, who are generally even with or better than most local players, who have access to high level backing no matter where they are, and who know how to really lay it down going after the real money in a town.

Rhea to me is someone who is a traveling pool enthusiast who is making a public show out of doing "the road". I think she is gathering good experience and insight into it without actually being a top player. Will this ever be more than free entertainment for AZB? Maybe, maybe not.

I mean we already have several books on "the life of the road player".......some good some great.

But for now this is just another interesting and somewhat interactive diversion. AZB's version of the Young and the Restless.
 
Don't be coming in here with all of your fancy, actual sayings from the road buddy...... Lol.

One of my all time fav's is "Well, burn that f'in town off the map!".

We used to just rip that page of the map out and roll a joint with it...lol
 
I spit coke all over my screen

Played a race to 5 with a stranger for $10, I won 5-2. :)

Really stepping up on this one. Atleast with you playing 7 games, it came out to an average of $1.43 a game. That's an improvement over the $1's you've been playing for.

The truth is- nothing you wrote is really a "problem". Not for you, me or Rhea. There's lots to criticize, but you chose to highlight things of little import.

Rheas real problems are that she lives a very unhealthy lifestyle. She makes very unhealthy, dangerous decisions. And what's most troublesome is that she doesn't have the capacity to be honest with those around her or herself. Those are real problems.
 
Did not take part in the calcutta at white diamonds, if i were to have bid at all it would have been on Justin Bergman I believe he will come in the money and some lucky person bought him for only $2200.

Anyway Im going with Deathball to Emerald Billiards in New Iberia later on to see if I can find a little bit of action before I head back to White Diamonds.

So many familiar faces here at White Diamonds, I personally know at least half of the field and have played a few of the women who are competing in this event in the past. I did not enter the tournament this year.

Waiting to hear back from my scotch doubles partner for Texas State to determine whether I will be playing in the Texas State BCAPL Open or if I will be skipping it to go to Jamaica Joes next week in Oklahoma.
