SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

He made an accusation of hypocrisy. Can you explain why you chose to run your current event, under very similar conditions that you previously thought, were totally disrespectful to the game? As you said below in another thread.

Show me where *I* thought/said previous attempts were "totally distrustful to the game."

For the record, since you are addressing me, I am not Bobby and I only speak for his event, not him personally, so you're barking up the wrong tree. I know that's a fine distinction but an accurate one that needs to be made. Most guys will be able to figure that out. Both of us have a relatively long posting history here -- I can only stand by mine. If you have a beef with something Bobby or anyone else has said please have the courtesy to address them and not me.

You're right, but it still should have been made public knowledge that the pockets were modified from original stock pockets, they're the ones who made it a point to show the pocket openings at 5" like that should mean some kind of credibility to what they're doing. My bitch is going out if the way to tell everyone, 'and by the way, these are REAL 5" corner pockets, see the measurements" for credibility purposes....

Only, they didn't give full disclosure to the public. Now anyone out here with table having 5" corner pockets is thinking they have the same table at home that this event was played on.....only thing is, they don't!!!

Did John publish specs on his pockets?

There's plenty of AZB members here that have stock GC's with 5" corner pockets, don't have to be a GC3, can be any GC with 5" pockets, they can easily take a picture of their pockets and post them up here just to call out your BS. Hell, even a GC4 or 5 has the same 5" corner pockets unless the 5 is the tournament edition, which are 4 9/16" openings.

Right and I've already gone back and looked at past threads ;-)

And owners of GC3s have not said what you are representing.

I loved getting to watch the pool, but I am also loving how these guys expect people to forget how they trolled John mercilessly with every accusation under the sun.

This doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the stream, it adds to it :ROFLMAO:

Well, maybe, skippy, we should just pull the plug on the free live stream.

I thought you said you guys were doing your own thing and weren't concerned with what John did/didn't do? Intentionally or not, the corner pockets on the challenge table are setup in a way to limit ball rattle. If you disagree, post pics of the measurements of the throat to debunk the theory. If you are unwilling to do this, there are only three options: stop debating it and accept it, have the table fixed, or use a different table.

It was not about John's run until all the accusations and rants started about our pocket specs.

That automatically leads to what John Schmidt did with his Rebco table and the BCA saying that no matter what he did it was all copacetic. No one tries to bust our chops on the pocket specs, I certainly don't bring up John Schmidt's table.

Now even you have to admit it would be pretty hilarious if someone ran 627 but then it wasn't live streamed. (y)

lol, I didn't say it wouldn't be recorded and later released in an unedited format for purchase ; -)

Lou Figueroa
wow
 
Ah, but then we wouldn't know whether the video had been tampered with after the fact. I'm sure Danny and xradarx will be around any minute to make that argument (y)

My post was #1179. Show me where I quoted you, was talking about you, or was even addressing you? I don’t have a beef with anyone by the way. Just pointing out what looks like hypocrisy. Try to keep up

Bro, all due respect to you personally, but who do you think you are kidding??? It was always about John's run with you guys.

I'm all for anything that creates interest in straight pool and commend the effort in that respect. But you two are the wrong guys to be in the front of this parade and then try to claim it's not about John's run.

Acknowledge the record and the greatness of the achievement. Doesn't supplant Willie's place in pool, which is obviously much more than 526. But just man up and acknowledge the 626 and admit you're trying to get someone to beat it. This "challenge" was about John Schmidt from its conception.
