JB I LOVE this thread and all the noise it creates!!
But, Chinese cue cases?? Not so much.

What a comment. Because everything you own, all the things that make your life functional are made in the USA right? The man is slinging dick around the world taking care of business, betting 10k, 20k and all you can do is conjure a weak mans putdown.
 
Ive never heard of a one pocket break rak but I can tell you pretty straight up how to break it so you will understand. One pocket isn't much of a game unless you can get a decent break.

With respect I have plenty of people here more than capable of teaching me anything I need to know about one pocket. Whether I learn or not is another topic.

you owe me $1.00. double or nothing on Lou's answer?

Thanks, it's all good. Today a had an all American couple in my shop and when I showed them the differences in our product and the competition's any thoughts of where I make my cases wasn't even in their minds.

Earlier this year Ron Haley paid me a very nice compliment. He said to me that he is proud of me for building a business that supports many families regardless of where they are. Ron owned a steel business for many years and knows what it means to have to make payroll each week.

In fact, the more I think about it the more I think that this whole thing is just folly. I have so many more things to do with an extra 20k than this. But the offer is on the table until next Friday so we will see what happens. All this reminds me that I have to make a date with a local player for some nine ball for a dime. I am up 1100 so far and will try to double up.
 
I'm sure Lou will be trying to cash again there's.bigger fish to add to the status plate than JB it's not always about the money
I'd much rather beat a named player for less then a no name for more , I'm sure Lou looks at it the same way

Of course, winning MORE than any of the tournaments pay out is not as thrilling as beating a pro in a race to three in a tournament that you have no shot in your life of ever winning much less getting into the top quarter of the field.

That makes a ton of sense.

And those are the luxurys one has when he chooses to make money of cheaper labor outside the USA ,, some people choose to dance with the ones the brought them and some don't no different than dancing with God and the devil ,

I would expect no different answer from you although we all no it's not about the cash with you and Lou you just put a number on it in hopes it will be to much for him to mentally handle , a real man dukes it out for nothing more than the win itself
That Nepoleane complex of yours is quite becoming

What's a Nepoleane complex?

Too much to mentally handle? The same guy who tried to high roll me days before the match and who offered to raise the bet to $25,000 at the match? That's the one whom you think a 20k offer is too much for his fragile mind?

Ok, Lou I am sorry, I will be a real man and play you 10 ahead for nothing more than the win itself. This guy thinks neither of us are "real men" because you offered to play for 10k.

Can we at least have a trophy?

"Real man" lol. Do tell
 
I am fine with it.... Because you see, I have heart Lou and you have none....

John:

what's to stop Lou from throwing the match & capitalizing 4X on your odds? would your victory be as sweet?

(this in NO WAY, insinuates that Lou would do this; purely hypothetical)

Clueless old man joining in the thread......shoulda knew better.....so I have no clue....why dont you educate me.....what am I missing Sir. Sounds like I struck a nerve.

Or perhaps you would like to play clueless some one hole?

I'd LOVE to...

Meanwhile there was about 3000 pages of discussion leading up to the match, after about 13,000
pages of discussion on the merits, or total lack of, Hooligan based Aiming Systems.
Followed by about 1001 pages of discussions of the match, its outcome, and implications

Please try to get out more and learn to search...

I did....that plane was towing a sign that said - "Napoleon complex"-
I think if anyone has any sort of "complex" it would be someone who chooses one stroke as their username. :)

Thanks everyone for being cool. Some of you got some digs in and that's expected but no one has been out of line. This is how it should always be on AZB. We can banter and argue but no one has to get personal to the point of wanting to kill.

Your flaccid existence is exhausting us.
