Finnegan is a crook and a scumbag.

For the people who don't like someone buying tickets and then having someone else break and shoot for them, you have to watch the accu stats game show.
That format of tickets/players, is the standard on that show.
 
Didn't want to make a scene in front of your wife so you just left ? Maybe you should have thought that you should show your wife you have a spine.


Something doesn't make sense - you didn't talk to this Raphael or anyone that was employed at Steinway before you left? Never called the next day?

Something just doesn't jive here.

True, and Pat Fleming is a class act who runs a clean game.

I'm normally not inclined to weigh in on these threads but the op has an itrader of 40 which speaks to his honesty. It sounds like he got in a game where they wanted the locals to win.

I've seen it happen more than once and not limited to pool.

This line of thinking is true alpha-male. I'm gonna show my wife I'm a man. From personal experience, I've been down this road and landed my dumbass in jail for the night. If your wife doesn't believe you're a real man unless you cause a scene over something sooooo pedestrian as this, then you might have more serious problems in ones marriage.

Some people can get into a situation and stay calm and not let it get to the point of winding up in jail. Then you can/should confront them and go from there (I'm envious of you folks, seriously).

Some of us can't and it will likely end poorly for us. So we have to just take each situation and not let these small things get to us. Sometimes we get f***ed, but I'll take be spineless over losing all the things in life I have to lose.
 
home

I got on a bus to go home. By the way - I didn't figure that it was a winning proposition to get into a huge altercation in another city - and one with my wife. That's a no win situation. IF I get some satisfaction from the argument there - I'm going to ride 8 hours beside a person that I love and respect that is angry at me. It wasn't that hard to choose a side. Sometimes you have to be smart about picking your battles. I have plenty of spine - but I don't choose to let it overrun my head.

He is making a scene now in front of the whole world. He doesn't seem timid.
 
I don't like to stir shit but...... The ending of this story is all that matters.
He let him break the balls and then came up with.... You have to make a money ball on the break.??????? I would have never left there under these circumstances.

Uhhhhhhh. Isn't anyball made in a game of 9 Ball or 8 Ball or Straight Pool a Money all, because the Whole Effing Objective To The Game Is Too Make As Many Balls As A Person Can So They Can Run Out Before The Opponent Does. I've never heard of such MANURE & Old Boy Needs A Trip Out Back By The Dumpsters For A Lesson In Psychology.

All Rules Are Made Before The Break Not After When I Can Claim Augustus Cesar is My Direct Lineage And Now You Lose All Your Money.

I took my wife to New York for our anniversary. We visited Steinway while we were there. I bought 20 tickets for the 10 ball break and run - it was up to over $1,800.00 that night. I couldn't be the shooter because I didn't play in that night's tournament. So I picked Raphael Debreao to shoot for me and told him that he was getting a healthy chunk of whatever we made. I was asked by several bystanders where I was from. I let them know I was from Maine. At that point Finnegan asked Raphael to go into the back room to talk. When they returned, Raphael broke and made a ball. Everyone was cheering. Finnegan walks up to me and said, "Sorry pal - he didn't make a money ball". I told him that this is the first time I ever heard anything about a money ball on a ten ball break and run. Especially when I was told that each ball made was worth over $180.00. He told me that it was the rules of the house - better luck next time. So that's how he treats visitors. That's the star of the new reality show for you - a lying, thieving P.R.I.C.K.

This story has more holes then swiss cheese. He said it was house rules, was he lying? What are the house rules? You dont know? Ok then, maybe he was right. As confusing as your post is maybe you just didnt get it right.

Would be sweet for this Finnegan guy to chime in, but unless you can't come up with a better story i wont hold any judgement except your story sounds a little shady.

If i end up wrong it is your fault for not getting the facts straight that night.

Happy Anniversary!

Damn son - beat me to it.

And I am not saying you should have gotten into a fight. But I would have stated my case and stood up and gave a speech to the whole crowd that you say was cheering to call Finnegan out.
 
tough

It wasn't my intention to be a tough guy on the internet. I just let it be known what happened to me. Yes - I was aware that there are going to be supporters and people that want to take shots at you with venom too.

I sleep during the day - so I have to turn in. If you ask me questions or address me on here, I'm not ducking you or ignoring you. I will be back on tonight.
 
So to end this thread the way it deserves to be I'll just go ahead and state the facts.

The racked all 15 balls. Making the 11-15 is the same as a dry break. The 10 is still in the center. Only the 1-10 count on the break.

Case closed nothing to see here, you weren't cheated at all. They did it like that cause they have pure champions that used to just break and run out and the pot never grew. It got much tougher to do leaving those extra balls on the table and the pot grew.

Nice way to try and slander someone when the fact was you bought into something that you didn't care to look into the rules of what you were buying. Before those rules it was just a question of which pro was going to run it out and take half the pot.
 
Maybe I'be ignorant (there's probably no "maybe" about that) but if they really had an issue with an out-of-towner being in this wouldn't the ethical thing to do be to tell him, "listen dude, sorry but this is for local regulars only" and then refund what he paid for the tickets?
 
Jason hunt although a character himself
Told many shady stories about that finnegan guy
If even a quarter of them were slightly true
Then I would stay well clear of him
Big POS
