I know how he operates.
Double talk.
I have worked with plenty of people like him.
We had a fuel spill here that has, so far, cost over $250M and the costs are rapidly rising.
Fuel leaked into the main aquifer supplying drinking water to the military housing areas surrounding Pearl Harbor.
You can't count the number of Admirals, civilian military Secretaries, and their PAOs tap dancing and speaking double talk.
FWIW, I know the whistleblower and everybody involved in the whole scenario.
Whistleblower Says The Navy Gave False Testimony About Red Hill Fuel Facility - Honolulu Civil Beat
A naval officer told the state health department that there are corrosion issues, including "holes in tanks," that are being hidden from regulators.www.civilbeat.org
The Navy initially denied reports of the leak, saying the water was safe to drink. Shortly after, military families and residents began reporting a strong smell of fuel in their water. More than 5,000 people reported illnesses, and many families reported that pets had fallen ill or died. Later tests showed contamination that was 350 times above safe drinking levels. The Navy later confirmed the leak, temporarily closed the facility and relocated affected service members to temporary housing — but not civilians affected.
That’s the Navy for you, lol.
Just a bit more seriously, you’ve never worked with me. Like I said, we’ve talked about this.

in Derby both players play on the same table. If they play one pocket and bottom right pocket is a little more favorable then bottom left - they play alternate breaks and next game you can choose the more favorable pocket. So this problem doesn't come up in Derby normally.
If it's a high run event and there is a price (like world record) for the high run but John Schmidt is allowed his tries only on a 5'' table while Jayson Shaw is allowed to play on 5 1/4'' table, then most viewers probably wouldn't consider it fair.
And no one is screaming. I never got louder.
ah, you have the complete specs on John’s table — what are they?
Here, let me help you out. I showed this photo to a table mechanic at the DCC and he said, “Now those are some big pockets.”

When the stream stopped, Bobby said the video would be posted later that day.
A man of integrity, a man of his word would keep his promise no matter the circumstances, that led to this promise.
If I am not thinking clearly when I promise my Grandma to pick her up at the airport I would still do everything to pick her up in time if it is somehow in the range of my possibilities.
For other people their word might be of lesser importance
I don't care if I have to pay to see Jayson's run in full. Just pointing out things I find interesting. Human behavior is an interesting topic...
He just got caught up in the moment, then thought better of it.

If you think my post was “extremely defensive or lashing” out you are quite the snowflake, lol.

That photo provided of the digital clamp they used to measure the pocket tells absolutely nothing! You can’t see from the photo where the mouth points of the pocket actually start.
That’s a good thing for you guys! I’m sure you’ll have no trouble getting this run certified by someone at the BCA who has absolutely no clue what the real issue is here.
I’m guessing they won’t even bother doing or having already done an in-person inspection of the table. This is the pool industry we’re dealing with, so the bar has been set very low.

this is what is commonly referred to by "not standing to your word". I understand the reasoning and I understand that not everybody is a man of integrity or o man of his word. It's very old fashioned and was am important virtue of a gentleman some years ago. Times change. People change.
So comparing your guy’s table to Schmidt‘s table is the low bar you have set to try to make this run appear legitimate? That’s funny.
Oh, BTW, before I blast off from the Derby: Jayson was interviewed last night by CBS. (I think SI also got in on the act) — he did real good talking about our event, his run, and pool in general.
They mentioned a March airing.
Everyone have a nice day.

Not comparing anything, just mentioning what a well regarded table mechanic said.
I also asked if you have the specs for his table since you mentioned them.

so if he is caught up in the moment and says, he would pay $ 50.000 to someone who can run 626+ balls and then thought better of it and decided to offer the run as pay per view and give all this money to the player instead it's also no big deal. It's called mistake in the real world.
Or if I challenge a player to a match for 200$ and after losing the match I remember, that I don't have this money on me. Honest mistake.
You are funny. Sorry. You would be better off following Bobby's advice and refrain from further comments.
No, I guess they’ve been just as secretive as you guys have.
Yeah right. You know what i mean.
No, John has been just as secretive as you guys have, which is exactly my point as to why you guys couldn’t have been a little more honest. As you guys have obviously been very critical of John, I don’t see that you have done anything different, except maybe widen the pockets a little more.
