My theory is aiming means nothing...

Sometimes there are people that you just truly do not like, or ever want to associate with again. Sometimes giving them a rematch means you have to waste a little more of your life with a person that you really truly do not ever want to spend another moment around. I am assuming this is the case for each John B and Lou F. I know if the ex wife wanted a rematch in our divorce I would never fall for that shit...regardless of how much I lost.


Lou has bragging rights, he won. John has enough money that it didn't hurt him. Lou seems to be a bit of a bad winner, and John seems to have an amount of sore loser in him. Either way, you guys aren't going to play again.


Hard to say I would ever be so mad at someone I would start betting with someone else's talent.


One of you guys needs to give in and put the other on ignore. It's stale. It's fruitless, pointless and silly.

I've been following the JB/Lou saga for a long time. From my perspective, Lou has been a perfect sportsman who has had to defend himself from a barrage of complete BS. Sometimes a guy has to get tough when his adversary doesn't know when to walk away. I've been pushed into situations where I had to act outside of my general character in order to set things right. No different here.

This is fantastic. The jawing between the two of you is legendary... Appreciate the entertainment as always.

Cheers to whoever revived this 7+ year old aiming thread. It always brings out the best in people!

I miss most of my shots when a fleeting, negative thought enters my mind, just a second or two of doubt. For me, the game is so psychological. This thread mentioned Mosconi's book a few times, I have to say, as a new player, that back in the 60s when information about pool was scarce, Mosconi's little red book really helped me out a lot, it gave me an edge over newer players who didn't read the book.

Son, I will make the pot sweeter for ANYONE who will back you. I will bet $35000 to $25000 if you play Stan a race to 30 in one pocket.
Is there anyone reading this who is willing to back Lou in this match?

Is there anyone reading this who is willing to back Lou in this match? If you can get your boy to the table I will give you an extra $1000 bonus once the money is posted.

Come on little buddy. Show us some heart and pick on someone your own size.
