JB you got heart , thats more than 99.9% of the rest have.
You lost to the guy once , now you want to play again.
You aren't asking for weight , just a couple of insignificant rules., and choice of venue.
I can't imagine why he hasn't already said yes, but that's just me.
This is as good as it gets gambling and way better than usual , especially since Lou did so well the last time.
The poolrooms are full of "gamblers" who wouldn't bet a dime, without the stone cold nuts, then they usually have to get a corporation together for anything over 50 dollars.
They knock everything in life, and put down anyone who isn't scared to try to stand up straight.
They are the walking dead and don't even know it.
Best of luck to you sir, in all things.
