watchez said:Chris - what is your preferred nickname? During the TAR match the other night, your friends were calling you Korn in chat. I thought that when you were here in STL with Delicious & Strong Arm, they were calling you Butterfly - although I never understood that nickname.
You wanna go to the riverboat tomorrow and play in that 5/10 game???real bartram said:watchez korn is my nickname butterfly started from carl my buddy who i was with playing carl was calling me porkchop so carl said we should call him something nice like butterfly i dont mind my friends call me korn

HollyWood said:hello chris, I watched you practice practice practice at the derby and I asked someone why can't that guy get a game, Keep watching and tell us if he misses (hence the nickname)(the grinder). How about Ashley Harkleroad- for your real avatar? I'm guessing a nude 10-ball match with her would be ok. I liked how you got up from the table soo many times, I'm not sure you missed any of those shots. mark
watchez said:Welcome to AZ, hope you can stir something up. I would like to see you play Appleton on TAR. Two classy, respectful players going at it. If not, Bergman will take the offer of 20k-15k, even 10 ball - in a neutral site like KC (not in your hometown).

You haven't learned yet. Just follow Jay Helfert posts. (j/k Jay) He said that John Morra was the next great player & that made it open to put Justin in the box. Then he said that Mike Dechaine was the next great player and you got the beneficiary of that proclamation. You and Justin both were gamblers playing a good player entering unchartered territory of pressure from both the eyes on them & the $$$ involved.real bartram said:watchez where do you go on here to match up
real bartram said:jay what about me and holdem ho race to 100
jay helfert said:Tang rarely plays pool anymore. He has other priorities. But he thanks you for thinking of him. I guess you could come out here and try to match up with Ernesto or Oscar. Ernesto is in his 50's and works every day, so that should be easy pickings for you. Oscar would need some weight from a top player like you, but I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem. Maybe the eight and the last three in Ten Ball is about right. I'm not sure Oscar would take this game, but I'm willing to ask him.
When are you planning to come out and plunder the West Coast?

I will say that John Morra is a great kid that would benefit greatly from being taken under the wing of a player like yourself. Scooter is fun to be around but was, in my eyes, not a help to Morra. Kinda like someone with little experience running around with your friend McWhorter. They would come up short much sooner than later.
Donnie Mills seems like he is always putting himself out there but he is awfully tight. Offered Justin the last two to come to his home room to play 9 ball. If you would like to stake Justin in that game, I'll give you his #. I will say that Donnie was at least nice enough and respectful in his offer.
Also, woofing at Raj or Chamat is good and shows everyone that you are not afraid to gamble but not sure what their Visa status is for coming over here or if they are presently here. I am sure that they will be here for the DCC but then you have plenty to choose from at that event. Start with the Americans where things can get done much easier.
Last resort, you can always match up with the TAR house pro. SVB has been in retirement since May - maybe you can make him come out and play.
You had a bad experience in TAR but the ends justified the means & you went home with the money. My experience with TAR was second to none. No BS. Make a game, show up to play the game you agreed with all the conditions (table, race, $$$, opponent) while everyone respects each other before, during and after. That is what makes TAR great in my mind. Not sure where things went wrong with Dechaine and we will probably never know. Water under the bridge. Glad to see that has not detered you in finding your next victim...uuhh match.
