Arranging to cheat and be coached by an open level player during our match was definitely building up pool. Way to go. Chump change... but you had to cheat, lol. I guess that's the way things are in your bizzaro world. Like my being willing to play you again for $10K somehow means I'm scared. oh well.
I'll try and keep your soul safe, John. Those pickle jars are pretty stout. If you ever want it it's a short drive ;-)

No cheating. The video is all there for anyone to see. If I had been coached you would have lost easily.
EASILY.
E A S I L Y.
Instead I played like a donkey for the first several games while my adrenaline was spiking and then I calmed down and played a little closer to what I can do but was still not playing good.
I literally played the worst one pocket of my life and yet you couldn't crush me.
And yeah I pumped up the match for 6 months we had 2000 viewers and the videos are getting lots of views on YouTube. So yes, I pumped up pool.
You and your cronies had to play mind games to mess with me. I think you probably had ten people enlisted to mess with me leading up to the match. Doesn't matter, I dogged it and I know why.
So I flipped you 10k which was made up within a few weeks. And yes it stings to lose 10k but as I said I got way more than that out of the marketing and I did write it off as an EXPENSE. The fact that it took people prodding you and you had a little crew playing head games is the real "cheating". But if you want to continue this I can file a 1099 for you and let you explain to the IRS what you did with the 10k of income you continue to claim publicly. I am going to go out on limb and bet that neither you nor your crew claimed any of that money as extra income as you are legally required to do......In fact I will bet $100 that you didn't. Easy to win $100 just show us your tax return where you claimed it. You're so "honest" I am sure it's there and I will lose again.
I did everything to accommodate you. Your favorite table, pocket size you wanted, we were nice to you. I faded all your BS. The only thing you and crew screwed up on was not accepting my offer to DOUBLE THE BET the four times I offered it going into the match.
Instead you tried to high roll me days before the match and we decided to leave it at 10k because by then we wanted to invest in something else and also I didn't think you deserved a shot at more money because of your shady tactics.
So that's what was.
Now the only thing in front of us is that I want to bet 20k and I made you a great offer to come and play for it and you're scared. Get on the phone and ask Mouthy Mike Liesomemore to back you. He probably hates it that you won't come and take more money from me. I could have told him how temperamental his horse is. I would have said Mike he is only good for one race....he won't run again.
But I will make you the same offer I made before. If you come and play 10 ahead for 20k and I win then I will post the 20k again and GIVE YOU A BALL in another 10 ahead set. And if I win that set I will give you TWO BALLS and post 20k again.
So now tell us all how your feelings were hurt and how you need a safe space to play in. Lets hear all the excuses now why you won't come to play.
I play even worse one pocket than I did three years ago. You are the worst example of heart in a pool player that has ever existed. All the people in California and St. Louis who know you know this to be a fact. Your fictional stories of walking into pool rooms looking for action and everyone being afraid of you have been debunked a dozen times. I walk into a pool and look for action and they form a line and put in applications and have a bidding war to see who gets to play me. You walk in and ten people ask you play within minutes and suddenly you have an appointment.
But when you write the trip report you say you got a table and no one approached you for hours until you had to leave. So save the embellishments and your fictional fantasy.
When you decide that you're not scared you know where to find me. Pretty sure my money is safe though as it's far easier for a player to run a rack in a minute than it is for you to find some heart.
