Post your no show money
Bad play.......
Yes, asking someone to gamble is "child psychology" and you won't fall for it. Trust me, there is nobody here that even thought for a second you would put your money where your big mouth is based on your 46 years of experience. Typical nit. Tell us more Mr. Billiards. LOL

Yes I understand how it works. But my offer is fair especially for a game where the world thinks the other guy is flat out stealing.
John, If you truly want something to happen, be willing to negotiate. Otherwise It seems disingenuous. Also- saying you don't want drama this time, but quickly insulting Lou as "scared, etc" is not going to help IF you do actually want to play again. Please!! I would love to sweat this again. You have heart for sure and it was fun the first time. Without the drama I agree.
He's supposedly donating 20k. For 20k I'd fly anywhere.
Ok. Thanks for your opinion. My Chinese made cases are providing the 20k that Lou is refusing to take.
I did buy a Ford hybrid last month which shows you how the dollars spent on Chinese cases can translate into paying American workers.....things work that way on a globe. ;-)
Glad I could liven the place up a little for ya. Will get a lot more fun if Lou finds a backer who doesn't mind him playing scared.
The offer is fair and simple. There is no need to negotiate. The guy blasted me in a dozen ways prior to the match and flat out lied about me afterward.
I don't even want to have any back and forth on terms. As for him being scared, he is.
That's a fact as I see it and not an insult. If I were in his shoes I'd be scared as well. Not because I didn't think I have the best of it, he does, but scared of the possibility that I could lose and what that would mean psychologically. I think that fear of his ego being bruised is the real problem. That's only my opinion of course.
Nothing I asked for is out of line in any way. His backer from the first match is probably salivating and begging Lou to accept.
Clueless
Clueless old man joining in the thread......shoulda knew better.....so I have no clue....why dont you educate me.....what am I missing Sir. Sounds like I struck a nerve.
Or perhaps you would like to play clueless some one hole?

But seriously, this is hilarious stuff. Keep up the good work!

Your opponent was "all business"..you were not. In the first contest.
It isn't anything profound and certainly I am one of those "never was" of the pool world. And this is MY OPINION ONLY.......(easily ignored, forgotten, and buried if you decide). However, I am one of the world's best railbirds/locksmiths and I can read faces, eyes, and body language like I had an x-ray machine into players' heads.
I have watched that full match between you and the "Lou guy" 5 times...analyzing, reversing the play back and forth,right down to many of the finer details.
Your use or non use of CTE had little to do with your losing that match. The ubiquitous "they" cannot hang that loss on Shuffett's system. In fact, I don't think you were even using it.
You lost because you were scared to death and did not concentrate on what you were doing. I will elaborate.....
1. Hurrying to the shot like it was going to disappear suddenly, instead of prowling that table like "Alex the Lion" does.
2. You did not stay down and follow through on your shots.
3. You demonstrated a cavalier attitude throughout.
Poor concentration, talking to yourself, dancing around the table after a victory,.....these things will not work for you against a stone cold killer like "Lou guy". He was after your blood, my man. Even though you had him near the ropes a few times and he was sweating around the upper lip and constantly wiping his sweaty palms on his slacks......you, sir, missed all the tells. He has so many, it's like an open book into his head and yours are pretty revealing as well. I don't think either of you would last very long in poker. A good 'base runner' would rob you both in short order.
4. "Lou guy" knows more about the game of one pocket than you do. You need a lot of heat from strong opponents to learn the basic moves and shots.
5. I retract all my posts concerning any of my betting in any future matches (if they happen) between you and Lou. You won't win it.......unless you're spending 12-14 hours a day in training with a coach like Danny DeLiberto (as well as practicing your CTE).
Sorry to be so blunt...as I said, it's just what I noticed myself.
(Flame away.........but it was NOT a loss due to CTE Aiming Method and you didn't look fatigued to me)
I know, I know, you never said it was, etc. etc.
Regards anyway,

It is funny......but kinda sad though.., for two reasons
REASON 1...... The case maker was simply trying to bet 20000.....not small money, imo
Reason 2....... All of us should be playing pool somewhere instead of setting around talking about somebody elses bet.
All in fun, but I am dropping out on this thread.....good luck guys

I agree with everything you said. I wouldn't bet on me either if I were not me. And I have said repeatedly that CTE wasn't the problem even though Lou and others wanted desperately to cast it that way. (that's why Lou will NEVER play Stan)As for not looking fatigued....I was pretty pumped full of adrenaline during the first part of the match due to my own stupidity for engaging someone I shouldn't have messed with.
Anyway, it's water under the bridge and 18 months later.
I have 20k to throw away and Lou is scared to come and get it even though he should not be.
I support it all the time. Last year I paid out more than $200,000 to American companies and donated $10,000 to a retired Air Force officer's fund.
I'm sure Lou will be trying to cash again there's.bigger fish to add to the status plate than JB it's not always about the money
I'd much rather beat a named player for less then a no name for more , I'm sure Lou looks at it the same way
