are you a pretentious pool A-hole???

trinacria said:
do you beat someone who gave you a sizable spot and have the BALLS to give advice about the game?? Dick!!!!!!

do you make comments about someone's equipment because you paid more for yours?

do you look down on a newer player because you supposedly have more "experience" because you're an old miserable Fu-k?

did you see a pro player play and now you "know" him?

there's unwritten rules in the hall and certain etiquettes that should be followed, and even if you do it doesn't give you the right to be a world class douchebag.

feel free to add your own, and if you are one of the one's who this targets, take a custom, ivory loaded, best hitting cue you've ever owned, one of a kind work of art that you're trying to sell to me and shove up your middle pocket.

I got one:

Do you take your shot and take the chalk away with you so the other player has no chalk or has to ask you for it? *****!

do you take regular smoke breaks or pee breaks in the middle of a match which are not necessary? ****!

Do you lose and say to your opponent "you got the time right?" NO I don't have the ****ing time because I beat you and don't want to pay $50 dollars out of my 100 winnings

Yea I have the balls to play a friend with a huge spot and then give advice, win or lose. If I see something obvious that might help, I'm gonna point it out. Or at least ask why they do it a certain way.

I'm not trying to be a dick, in fact I'm trying to help us both.

Some things are obvious to an observer. And some things are understood better through discussion and argument.

Nothing like an ass whoopin from someone with no stroke and poor fundamentals.

Cha-ching.

But, but, John, everyone picks their nose. Just not everyone admits to it. And you are just like the sticky booger I can't flick off, no matter how hard I flick.

I did not agree to "be cool." In fact here's what I wrote about that:

"I shoot and land prefect on the 10 and carefully line up the $10,000 money ball. .. blessedly, mercifully, it goes. The 10 ball disappears into my pocket. I’ve won the final game 8-3...

After the photos John tells me he hopes that we can 'bury the hatchet.' And all the while he is talking to me telling me this I am looking at him, wearing a T-shirt bearing the name of a pool hall I am barred from in St. Louis, and about which he has taunted me for months. And I think about how John backed out on all the additional bets. I think of the coaching during the match. I remember how just moments ago he kept talking while I was shooting. And I conclude that any reasonable person would find it hard to accept John’s brand of sincerity. I want to be that good a person, but..."

Here's the unsaid part, John, since you're apparently too dense to read between the lines: I am not that good a person.

So then to the issue of crowing about the win.

Question: is there a single, solitary man here who believes that John would not be in my face, for the rest of my life here, in every thread, if he had won? Anyone? Buehler? Buehler?

No. He would have used it against me, cudgelled me with it none stop at every turn, deserved or not. Jeezus, he still crows about beating me 2-1 for absolutely nothing 10 years ago. Just how nitty is that?!

And so, I practiced. I took my responsibility for $10,00 to myself, my wife, Mike, and all those rooting for me (including the ones you stiffed on the side bets) to heart. All the while you went on about how you were constantly in action, playing champions like James Walden, taking 15 hours of lessons with Stan "Mr. CTE" Shuffet, and barking at me in my home room for a lousy $100 a game. But I had the audacity to practice?

As to the 10 ahead, I just don't want to spent that much time playing you. Make it reasonable and we can get down, John. But no, you'd rather bark about a game I've told you repeatedly I will not play. 10 ahead -- not going to happen, so you're safe there and that's what you will bark about. What a surprise :-)

Lastly, you think I can't get backing for whatever I don't want to cover? lol, John, I could crowd-fund my end if I was so inclined.

Lou.....you are not a nice person and that's the crux of it.

That you are bothered by the cue and cushion shirt and don't admit to all your gamesmanship is just another example of your odious nature.

As to whether I would be in your face you are wrong. I wouldn't be in your face for anything other than I have confronted you about in the past. And that is 100% always your own mean and shitty comments.

You forget that I wasn't in your face for seven years. I held up my end of the bargain and in 2010 you decided to resume your shitty ways and attack me over CTE.

Now I don't care if you want to run around the forum and continue making dumbass comments....but then don't whine about getting rebutted when that's exactly what you want.

I am a very nice person and win or lose I was ready to shake your hand and be at peace.

But as you said you're not a nice person. Other people have a much more colorful description of your personality. Anyway you're definitely a coward. Because if you have a lock then you would agree to ten ahead immediately knowing you would bust me in one day.

Anyway all just words. You won. No matter why I lost it doesn't matter. If you want to play when I am ready to play you will play and if not then we will go from there.

When you're ready to stop acting like a jerk we can be at peace on the forum. That has nothing to do with whether we play again or not.

Rather than continue with this 10 ahead nonsense, which is possibly the most ludicrous thing I've ever read on here, even from you, why don't you just replay the original game? That sounds perfectly fair to me.

Ps was that 7 days? I tried...:o

I didn't say I wasn't a nice guy, I am. What I said was "I am not that good a person," as in: I am not a good enough person to remain silent in the face of all your baloney.

My gamesmanship? For five months you ranted, calling me names, taunting me, putting up incendiary YouTube videos, and telling everyone that I'd never played anyone like you before -- that you were going to show me what it was like to "get in the grease."

At our match I never said a word to you and my corner was respectful throughout. You taunted me during the match about CTE, when you'd luck one in; you taunted Mike after you won a game with, "How do you like your boy now?"; you talked while I was shooting my final runout in an attempt to shark me, repeatedly chanting in a loud voice, "It's over. It's over."; you cheated having Dennis Spears coach your shot selection; and you had your side clapping loudly like a line of trained seals any time you made a shot.

You are a joke.

He's nuts, because quite simply, John and I are not good enough to play a 10 ahead set. It'd take forever. And that is not a situation I'm willing to put myself in. So he barks about it, knowing he's safe, and can then say I won't give him a shot at a rematch.

OK Lou, this is the last time I will say it.

#1. You had NO PROBLEM insulting me to get a game. "Two coward" were your exact words on AzB. Furthermore you are the one who constantly put up links to the 20k high roll on one pocket. Org. Wasn't me chasing you to play for 20k.

#2. When you finally made a game you were gung ho about pre-match trash talking to drum up interest. You even complained when a thread with your trash talk was moved to the NPR section.

#3. Your "team" and you did plenty of pre match trash talking.

#4. At the match I was pumped up and chatty but not when you were shooting. When you were shooting I was in my chair or in my corner and quiet. So save that bullshit. If I was excited to win a game then so what? And your people weren't silent either with mike jumping in to try and bet more mid match.

#5. After the match you flat out lied in your stories. Maybe this is a victor writes the history type of thing to you but you lied. And you told other stories that were designed to manipulate.

#6. You made it ridiculous to get the match arranged. Saying we wouldn't play on stream if you did nor get paid etc....own up to your own gamesmanship.

#7. You're not a nice guy nor a good person. That much I found out in my travels. You're despised in St.Louis and surrounding cities by many who have had the displeasure to play you or be around you. I got to the point where I felt sorry for you actually.

I may be an asshole on here but people are glad to see me show up in the pool room. From what I gathered no one likes to see you show up in the pool room. When I show up we have a good time and some fun action ensues. When you show up the mood takes a downward turn. And from what one of your former air force colleagues said it was no different when you were working.

So, you have your vision of who you are and it doesn't line up with a lot of other people's. Were it only me then sure, I am the jerk and you are the saint. Well I a jerk but so are you and in me you finally attacked someone who won't lay down for your crap. You act so innocent....boo hoo john talked smack before the match and won't admit your own shit stirring for YEARS.

All my talking was based on facts Lou. Facts that you continue to prove out each time you continue this way.

Now 10ahead for 20 thousand is the only thing we need to really talk about.

You offered a 9 ahead previously and I was very dumb not to accept it. So you're not averse to an ahead set. Let's agree on the length and the bet over 20k and dance again.
 
Oh and my side clapping like trained seals? You mean my wife Karen? She and Dennis were the only people sitting in my "corner".

Do you think I directed them to clap? Did you direct all your friends not to?

There was an older man on the other side loudly clapping for me as well....did I plant him there?

The only joke is you. You couldn't and wouldn't play high stakes pool with Hellen Keller on your own. You get flustered and whiny when anyone asks you to play $50 one pocket.

I can guess you were feeling nervous having so much of other peoples money in play.

Don't act like people clapping for me was a big deal. If you wanted it totally quiet you should have made that a condition. Only a nit whines about clapping AFTER winning.

The only joke is you. You're lucky I played at all after your little high roll stunt. But that backfired on you....next time call the bet when it is offered and push the chips in then.

In fact next time all the money will be frozen up long before play day.

I did what I had to do to get you to play :-)

And I'm not the one who gets threaten here with physical violence and gets into a fight at the pool room and almost gets his teeth knocked in. Believe me, you are not universally loved. Regardless of what you claim, most find you an obnoxious blowhole.
