This is how you conduct business.
Very generous but I'm sure JB will get taken care of too.
Both parties happy.
So, how much did he lose ?

Good point - I didnt even think of that-lol
I hope so. That would be nice. I messaged your JB Custom Cases page.
What moves?
After you started woofing I pretty much went silent in the months before the match -- the record bears this out.
In the meantime you were saying you'd take all bets; that you wanted the match streamed so that the memory of my defeat would be "forever burned into my memory;" how, after you beat me you were buying lobster for all your factory workers and taking your family to the Maldives, I didn't say jack.
Do you really want to talk about moves? How about being coached during our match by an A level player? (And before you deny that remember there were eye witnesses from AZ who saw it and said so here.) How about paying out of your own pocket to have a GC moved into the Accu-Stats Arena AND paying Pat Fleming to come in a stream it, thinking that would put pressure on me?
Moves? Really?

How so? It's engaging, honest and vulnerable. Are you saying people don't like honest emotion? Do people not like it when a person takes responsibility for their mistakes? Do people not like to see someone grow and learn from those mistakes?
I do have to say that not having been a professional spin master i can't really say what best practice is but for me simply being open and honest about who i am is the easiest way for me to be. And when i learn and grow then i like to share with whomever cares to read what i write or watch my videos. That's beauty of the internet, i can publish what i want unfiltered and engage honestly with fans and critics. It works for me personally and professionally my company is doing as well as we want it to. So maybe professional public relations would advise otherwise i am content with what i do.
I own a version of your Case Chris, Masonite, 2 X 4 it was the very best Case I ever owner.
Not a fancy as some, but user friendly, and worked wonderful.
Now I use a GTF 1 X 2, designed by John, for Roy at IndyQ.
John know cases, he is like the Pool Cue Case guru.
I watched the whole thing because....well, because at 11 o'clock last night I had nothing better to do that I hadn't already done several times that day.
It was tough to watch. To much babbling. Repeating the same things over and over. Taking to long to get to the crux of the matter.
I wish I had that 53 minutes of my life back. I would have used it to do something I'd already done several times that day. :thumbup:
It was that pathetic.
Maniac
It's pathetic because:
A. It's totally unnecessary.
B. You ramble and repeat yourself over and over -- it has no structure.
C. It is totally self serving.
D. It shows how glaringly unconscious you are when it comes to your own motivations and weaknesses.
E. You confess to having the money but will not immediately pay.
F. And, it is just flat out sad to see someone, with your standing in the pool community, put out 50 minutes of video with all of the above issues.
Lou Figueroa
It's pathetic people are still talking about this, it funny...............could be Covid 19.
I think the AZ B Forum will die, when Pool Reopens, the boredom will be over.
People will get their lives, and hobbies back.

Funny, but are a participant to it.
AZB ain't dying.
You are free to leave though .
Put pressure on you? I was totally accommodating and it was a no brainier to have Pat stream it since it was played in the accusations arena. I had them put in the table you wanted.
If anything i put extra pressure on myself having one of my poolheroes filming me play in a space that is normally the realm of professional players.
As for moves.... Not going to rehash it. I think i started my reasons at the beginning of the match and they are still the same.
And yeah i talked a lot of shit, everybody did. That part of the group strategy went exactly as planned. I bought into it and neglected to train properly. That's on me and part of what i recognize about myself that i described in my video.
You had your shot to try and win much more from me but when you go to far the customer walks. I never ducked you. I simply have up trying to give you more money. The juice wasn't worth squeeze. I thank your backers for getting you to the table as the experience was amazing even though i lost the match. For not preparing properly and looking like a spastic chicken i am not unhappy with my performance against a solid player who practiced diligently for hours a day.
And i an glad that you got a few grand out of it. Whatever you used the money for i hope it was enjoyable. And if it was twice as sweet because it was my money then you're welcome. I thank you for the years of attention/marketing you provided and continue to provide. The return on investment for the ten thousand has been amazing. Every time you bring it up i get people checking out what we make.
So sincerely and truly without sarcasm, thank you for being my face partner all of these years. I consider you to be evil and dishonest but you filled a role voluntarily that was of great benefit to me and for that i am really grateful. And i an cool like you want to continue talking about it. You can denigrate me, twist the truth, fabricate things, speculate about motivations, talk about shots, feelings, moves.... Whatever you feel like doing. There is no way to do it without the result being more eyeballs on our products and whether you think that works in favor or not our sales are great.
There is a good reason i titled my video, comeuppance. Because o of what recognize in myself. I didn't beg for forgiveness or ask for pity. I know my alligator mouth overloaded my jaybird ass but in our match that wasn't the situation.
Have a good one Lou glad i could be part of a good pool story for you. Embellished or not when you tell it the story is still good.
I do take vacation from time to time.
When Pool Rooms reopen I expect to see less traffic, on AZB.
I am guessing, because Pool Player, can go do the fun thing they like.
Beat sitting home BORED.
Personally, if I ran a case company that still has a customer that has been waiting six years on a case that he has already paid for half of, I'd not be here rambling on AZB and I would PERSONALLY be in the shop doing "hands-on" work on that man's case.
Just sayin'.
And John, I have nothing against you personally. I think you are a likable enough guy and you definitely make some of the best cue cases in the industry. The thing is....you just cannot let some things go. You let people's words work you into a frenzy. You always have to have the last word when posting (which is why people keep "baiting" you with never-ending retorts).
If you could find a way to just let people's words roll off you "like water off a duck's back" you would find life a lot easier to live.
Just let it go and move on with life. Just some friendly advice.
Stay safe and keep cranking out those great cases.

In your opinion. I am good, my friends are good. My wife is good. My opponents are good. Pool is good. The game has changed since you retired. Honest conversation is more important than spin and hiding negative situations.
So have you personally been waiting 6 years,or can you name someone who will vary you claim?
Or you just blowing smoke?

. We are currently traveling, how do you think i could work on it and what makes you think we aren't? With 26 people working for us it's possible for me to carry on conversations at the same time that custom case orders are being made.
The thing is that from the outside all people can do is speculate. I already said publicly that Matt will not only receive his money back but also get s free custom case. I have no malicious reason not to deliver on an order. But when we find a problem we do certainly get busy fixing it.
The only reason i am commenting here at all is that a friend alerted me to the thread. When it dies down i will be gone again. And you're right, letting comments roll off is an important skill to develop. I am getting better at it though. Think of comments i haven't responded to in this thread.
I don't want to really go into my life history but from about 8 years old and through my teenage years my only real life skill was talking. I wasn't physically able to stand up to bullies but i could talk my way into and out of most situations. When the internet came around i thought it was going to be amazing for me, a bookworm who tried to soak up knowledge.
Unfortunately it wasn't long before i was trolled by the internet version of a bully, this one had the handle of burntjall. That was the first time i realized that there were people who used the internet to attack with words and the more they knew about you the more personally insulting they would be. As someone wanted honest communication and really wanted to learn and share good information i was shocked. But i resolved not to give in and i should have because i thought any accusation made by an anonymous person carried much more weight than it did. So, i feel into the trap of being defensive and feeling like i had prove myself in the eyes of the readers.
And of course all that goes back to my internal pysche. A troll only provides the stimulus, the object of that troll's attention provides the response. In between lies the choice to engage or not.
What do you think the Crux of the matter is?
Or you can read JB's response.
