So, how much did he lose ?

This is without a doubt, and not even close, the nicest thing anybody has ever said about me on azbilliards.

Would it have killed you to get my name spelling right?

Thank you very much.

best,

Brian....I’m going to stick up for Chris here...he had a perfect right to spell your name Brain.
...that is the exact spelling you used years ago in a thread from Dippy Dave....
...you signed off as ‘Brain’

The thread had a lot to do about the Viffer’s atrocious spelling.

Brian, regardless of introductions, I really had no clue who you were.

I don't follow every thread on AZ and back in 2014 your name meant nothing to me at Sandcastle -- *no idea* who you were, what your story and history on AZ was or anywhere else. Sorry, and I mean that sincerely. I'm sure you were ready to gamble -- I *now* have no doubt about that. But whatever you may have said at the time, did not register with me. So who's fault is that?

Your boy can still get played. When the dust settles, give me some notice, tell him to practice up (don't want any more excuses), and buy him a ticket to STL.

Come get what? Your opportunity is long gone. If you offered me the nuts you still won't get action with me. That's how little i care about you at this point in my life. I'd rather burn 20k on video than give you a shot at another dollar off mine. I'd rather French kiss a person with a severe case of covid19 than to play pool with you. I would rather let someone beat me to death with my Tad than to consider voluntarily being in the same room as you. When i said you're on my super short list of evil odius people i should have been clear that you're number one even above the guy who called my wife a 3$ mail order bride.

On top of that even if i did want to play you i already know you have no backers. And without backers you won't bet a quarter as has been firmly established not just in our relationship but by numbers accounts by o others who have known you forever.

So enjoy the brief time you to spend with me here. That's the best you're going to get. And again, anytime you want to promote our cases by telling your "story"is fine with me. You are and always have been a very good story teller.

You wanna bet he'll be gambling AGAIN before he settles all accounts ?
You and I know this little fella who used to own a small place in Carson ( no need to name him ) .
We were there for a nice party with the three original Filipino team.
You came with Min Ng. We had chicken tinola and adobo.
The three greats played pusoy.
That little fella was the biggest gambler here for a very long time .
Kept going to Riverside to match up tough against all advice .
Ended up losing a ton of money and swore off gambling .
Pfft!
Still gambling .

Gambling is evil.
I've seen what it does to family members and friends.
I'm glad I quit it two+ decades ago.

Nah. Consider the old lady who christened the USS Theodore Roosevelt, a ship's name that has been in the news lately. Here she is on that occasion:

According to Wikipedia:

Of her quotable comments, Alice's most famous found its way to a pillow on her settee: "If you can't say something good about someone, sit right here by me."​

She worked at gossip.

John.

You play good considering you have the responsibilities of a career and family, however, i don't think you can bet as high as you do when you "go off" esp when playing your peers in terms of talent/knowledge.

Everyone has a comfort zone when it comes to a bet and i think you step out of yours.....you work for your money and you value it too much to put the amounts in play that you do.

Be honest with yourself, when you played Lou, Marks and now "Austin" what % of your "normal" game did you play......I'll venture a guess it was no more than 75%.

The only way to get over the yipes or pocket "titty" syndrome when playing for $$$ out of your comfort zone is either drugs, seasoning (which can be VERY expensive) or having no regard for $$$.

This is moot if you catch a stone, cold sucker and you have a significant talent advantage, however, it seems like you don't look for that type of action.

It's OK to have the nuts, no?

Take care, adam

John, Really sorry you took a big hit and how it's taking a toll on your emotions. But you damn sure don't owe a bunch of degenerate nit, nut hunting - wannabe gamblers an apology or a youtube video explaining anything. Just owe people that money and pay them when you can. If they don't like that tough shit, they should have posted. They can't kill and eat you.

I really think you should try to get some help. You lost $66,000 dollars for God's sake!!! And you are rationalizing it!!! The seedy pool world is not a forgiving and empathetic soft place to be. Just accept that you are not cut out for pressure gambling. You are too into your feelings to be a gambler. That is a fact!!! But you are in full blown denial and you're not the only one. Take Lou for example, now here's a guy who everyone knows is self absorbed narcissistic egomaniac who takes great pleasure kicking another man when he's down in well written novel form. But Lou thinks this is normal behavior and he deserves to be heard because he's a good military man. That's called denial.

Please stop trying to justify your actions with "win some / lose some" rationalizations. You shouldn't even bet $5 dollars because it apparently triggers something that makes you go off. I never like to see guys go off. But it's a sad truth in the degenerate world of gambling. Some guys can bet outside their comfort zone and lose but still maintain control and not go off all the way. Some guys can't. You are one of those guys that can't. There used to be a guy in Houston who was known as "Go Off John". Sad thing is, every hustler, even the classy ones, would line up and wait around for him, hoping to be the next guy to take him down. There were others too. Pill Head Larry, Sid, Wino Tom, And the list goes on and on. All the players would line up and try to snap them off. They hoped Tom would be drunk or Larry would be pilled out and so on. Disgusting to watch. After they would take off the go off they really felt proud of themselves.

In closing, you are not cut out for pressure gambling because your emotions and feelings get in the way of playing winning pool. Doesn't make you a bad person and the sooner you can accept your reality the sooner you can find some peace. Pool gambling can be real ugly and it's not meant for people who express their feelings on youtube. The best pool players have no feelings. Stay in your lane, and your lane is not pressure gambling.

Ouch! John posted that it was 35K but that must have been the amount he was short. That's brutal.
