She is full of herself. She got a facelift, and dumped her 20+ year husband after starting to get popular.

Sorry, I don't agree. She is a very smart woman, who became a lawyer back in the day when very few women even thought they could. I like her "no BS" attitude, she has been around the block too many times and knows when people are full of it.
As far as her personal life, that is her business and neither you nor I knows what went on in her marriage. I am sure she had good reason to end it and I hope she finds whatever happiness she seeks.

I say, you go Judge Judy!

I am glad to see that you and Fast Larry have found a way to work this out without a long, drawn out lawsuit or resorting to violence and bloodshed. Best of luck to both of you!

That is pretty darn funny, Blackjack!!:D
 
Over the years, I have seen this happen way too many times with quite a few different cuemakers and players.

Being a Tour director, a cuemaker will come to me and ask my advice about fronting cues to different players. All I tell them is that is a decision they have to make on their own as I don't want to get stuck in the middle of a situation that can go bad very quickly.

Varney's got the right attitude and solution to this problem. EVERYBODY PAYS!!!!!!!!!!

See the cash up front, even if you discount the products close to your cost just to get it in their hands.

Isn't this just another case of typical poolplayers being typical poolplayers.

Just another fine example of why Pool and Billiards can't get off the ground and the negative connitations that are associated with our sport.

Sorry again to hear about this deal. Hope you eventually get paid and that more poolplayers learn some lessons from these type of bad deals.

I like the thought of not lumping pool into this way of thinking...this is ONE person that is the bad egg and not the whole industry...

I have play alot of pool for $$$ and have had people not pay and I have had them fire bs money at my wad (nits). Here is the way to handle situations like this. You said you were owed $400. I would told him (before you start) to play $200 sets and POST up two sets. Put the $$$ on the light or let someone hold it. Now he has to pull out the cheese!!!! Or here is another way.
I beat a guy out of $800 one night, didn't get paid, and took home a beautiful 6pt shaun, with three shafts!!!!!

I think you and a few others have missed the jist of the problem...no cash was to exchange hands so it couldn't be "put on the light" he gave him two breakraks to promote and he (unnamed pro player) wasn't holding up his end of the deal...

One of our greatest players has Stiffed me for $400. He took two BreakRAKs with a promise of selling them at his local Pool Room & sending the company the money.

The player has been aproached a few times, over 2+ years, & PM'd here at the AZBilliard site, but the promises are never fulfilled. A couple of other high ranking Pros (friends of mine) approached the player at Allen Hopkins, about the rotten deal.

The player would rather be a liar & theif, than cough up $400. This doesn't seem right for a person to be that way. The future of Professional Pool may come. With folks like this, companies will have to be wary about sponsoring the players, which degrades their profession & their livelihood.

What do you folks think about this. These heroes of ours should be good people, not just good Pool Players.

Whoever he is, he is a bum, Unfortunately it doesn't take a lot of them to ruin pool's image.
 
Waiting two years to complain and then doing your laundry on this site is just plain dumb.
