Fedor Gorst - looking for action in Louisville, KY tomorrow. If you could - would you?

I'll simply say that you shouldn't Brag about being around a 600 speed, thats not the get the Money speed, thats a beginner. And if you spent plenty of time around champions you should be a ball better that 600.

Lastly if you think that spending/betting $100 is really gambling that speaks for itself.

What part of playing once or twice a year don't you understand?

Is this really that difficult for you?

Who said anything about betting a 100 is gambling? Holy shit you're stupid, you have zero comprehension skills.

Stick to being a 3 in APA

I've broke and ran 7 racks in a row 3 different times. My guess is you've never run a rack in your life

600 is a beginner? That's really kind of silly.

 

[garczar]

Hell no.

That's the same silly argument that says poor/mediocre players should enter open tournaments because sitting on their ass watching good players run out will somehow make them better.

Newsflash. You can get the same experience watching from the rail...

EXACTLY.

And I play once or twice a year, that's it. The guy is a complete clown

 

[SeniorTom]

He wouldn't have a chance against me! No chance of losing, that is.

Silliness.

From Fargo...

600	Has run three-in-a-row multiple times and maybe four-in-a row a time or two. High Run in 14.1 of 50-60. There are generally around 30 players at this level per million population

 

[Island Drive]

In my improving yrs, once I year I'd play an opponent a little better than me.
For a couple reasons.
First my opponent had to be a fair/good person in game/match play.
Second I made sure it was a Gold Crown with conditions/cue ball I've used before, because he had the best of it.
I usually lost, but it helped.
Most I bet in this spot was $1,000 50 yrs ago/lost, I preferred 2-300.

It's a speed ck. Without a built in GO far. Go

 

[Badpenguin]

No.

It's a total and complete donation with zero honor. Fedor can give up numerous balls to just about anyone. He should be offering up 11-6 to all comers, still be stealing, but at least giving up a chance. Otherwise he can be like Woodward selling "worn" jerseys for $100.

Lou Figueroa
just what I want, lol

Jesus man, he said "practice sets". It is basically exhibition matches. Why so damn serious?

 

[skogstokig]

i find myself in the middle here, i would play but not without a spot where i could have a chance. also what's the point for fedor to play even with a 600 player, he'll have no pressure, how is that good practice for derby? i get big spot 1p is a bit goofy/different playing wise, but that's how tight he plays anyway

Agree, I would happily hand him hundreds all day to play him some banks and pick his brain. Only in pool would their be a discussion about this as the pros are much more available. In probably every other sport in the world people would be tripping over themselves to pay much more than $100 to play with a world champion

WTF??? What you're describing is 'lessons', this ain't that. This deal is Fedor playing suckers and smiling when its over. You play FG a set for c-note you ain't hearing/learning shit. Well maybe polish your racking skills. This is wham-bam-thank you-mam production line hijacking. If ol Fedor can get 'em to line up for slaughter more power to him.

I mean....Alex is selling people undies with his name on them...... Men's undies.

Let that sink in

missed my whole point but agree to disagree

They go Great with the ''wedge'' T shirts.

 

[Kris_b1104]

No.

That would be like saying getting a picture with Mickey Mouse is the same as going to Disneyland.

What a weird analogy that has nothing to do with pool.

If you had the chance to play Efren/Scott/Alex/Tony in one-pocket for $100 you wouldn't do it? Obviously you would ask for a spot that you are comfortable with, they wouldn't just offer you the world just because they're great.

I think you just don't like Fedor for some reason. Not sure why you would say he has "zero honor" by trying to have some friendly practice with pool fans/enthusiast. If someone accepts a game with him playing even, then that's just not smart on their part, they should be the ones asking for weight. And I'm sure he would gladly give them a handicap if they asked, if they don't ask, then too bad.

 

[garczar]

what point did i miss? you think that if you gamble with the guy he's going to help you? you 'might' get a quick "you need to do this/that" but that's about it. If you want to learn just buy some lessons. That being said i've been friends with some really top talent that would play cheap and give me pointers but unless you already have some rapport with a player don't expect much other than getting smoked.

WTF??? Back at you . Flapping your jaws when you have no idea how Fedor is going to match up and if he will be offering advice/tips while playing. More of your negative bs.

Not negative just reality. More of your interjecting bs when i never i said a thing to you.

I believe you're a 600 but I've never seen a 600 put up a 7-pack, let alone do it on 3 different occasions, respectfully.

That's strong as f*$k. I would say you are severely underrated.

Was this on a Valley barbox? What was the game?

 

[lfigueroa]

Becauuuuuse, it's not practice or an exhibition (that one would take a player who could actually maybe win), it's stealing.

If he were playing for a charity (other than himself) it would be different.
