When we meet, I'll be happy to paste a gold star on your forehead.

I had heard it used in "guerrilla theater" which is the way way way off Broadway stuff that kids produce in order to get their acting, producing and directing chops in. I live in LA, and we go to theater like that, plays and musicals set in a stage these kids have rented and renovated, and produced at about $15 bucks a ticket (going to the Schubert or the Pntages at $150 a throw makes me pause). Some times they are very good (produced with love instead of hype). We saw "Hair" that way a year ago and went back like 5 times, it was that good. Streaming reminds me of that, can't get it on TV? No problem, produce and manage your own content and deliver it to the people.

Great stuff.

Gold star coming for you.

Kevin

Spanky-

Good job on the stream commentary!

Get some sleep.

Take care, bud, thanks for the scoop.

PS: what does it mean/meant when Dave got 'one free scratch' (last time-but not this time)? How does that work?
 
it means he was able to push out anywhere one time in every game. The free scratch is probably worth 2 or 3 balls.

Are you nuts, 20 bucks for this crap. I'm sure everything was on the up and up for this match. LOL

Well of course it was, clearly that's a fact. I watched it, so I know it was legit as baby tits. When the camera turned off he caught a gear though and swung it so no one lost any cash.

Dont get shitted upon like I do by the nut huggers and hopeful free loaders.

I'm gonna write this book because even though you pissed me off before, I like you Mikey and want you to see my point of view and consider things from where I stand.

I realize you think Dippy is some supreme hustler. But I bet if you add up his pool action since May he is way down. What kind of hustler loses more seed money than he ever has a chance to win back? The only reason he got the games with Alex for big money was because there was another poker player behind Alex. No one in the pool world is going to lose six figures at a time like Dippy has and most backers are going take a short shot at best. I suspect he will get bored with it all or discover golf or some shit and we wont hear anything else from him. These games are a hobby to him. He gets to be the big fish with all champions chasing him. That doesn't change the fact they can win more playing Dippy than winning all the major events combined so they do it.

When all this started I didnt know Dippy and thought it was all a gaffe and not very entertaining until I saw something that made me re-think it. I was watching champions play amazing pool under pressure unlike even major event finals. Dippy made that possible. I really think he enjoys watching the guys he plays in action as much as he likes the actual gambling with them. Some people hate him, some people swing from his nuts but personally I like the guy because in all of my dealings with him he has done what he said he will and provides an opportunity for great players to play great pool. Some of the shit he has done in the past I don't agree with but I can say that about many people I consider friends. There are not many angels in my world.

If this match was some sort of show what the hell was the point? All the guys that are gonna play Dippy already know how he plays. They know they have to outrun the nuts. The money made off the PPV after expenses doesn't pay my bills for the month and it did about twice as well as I expected. So if the match was just a dog and pony show what was the purpose?

I thinks its wrong for you to come out in public and say Alex, Dippy and I are liars and thieves because that is what you are saying. You have absolutely no proof that anything was not exactly what it was presented as. I wouldn't come to your work and tarnish your name based on an opinion or a feeling and I think you are wrong to do that to people here.

Things like this remind me of all the things I hate about action pool. The guys in the corner who are sure they have all the inside angles, everything is a scam and everyone is a POS out to steal the pennies off a dead man's eyes. Of course any actual "info" they may have is third hand "I heard it from a guy who saw a post on the internet from a dude who cuts thats guys backers grass" type shit.

There is plenty of shady shit that goes on in action pool. We all know that. But I have never been a part of it and I have went out of my way to keep a clean reputation in this business and it is worth more to me than money. So just keep that in mind when you accuse me of putting on a dog and pony show.

I randomly saw this for the first time this morning. I have not tried to call you a liar so I wouldn't want you to think that. As for Dippy I have said most of what I need to say about that guy, he's a hustler. I personally know several guys that think they have some good games with Dippy lined up, I hope they play.

Everyone gets exactly what they deserve in the end. That's life. You have a rock solid idea and plan for the DCC and I fully expect to see Dippy on your stream some if he goes but hopefully not in lieu of SVB Vs. Lee Van or something like that just because they are playing for 5% of the money the Dipster will be. Once or twice I'm sure that will happen but if it is predominantly the Dippy Show I think it will hurt you in the long run. Then again people like big money matches and I have no clue which ones others want to see more. I'd rather see champions for $1k than a lion on a gazelle for $100k.

Oh and don't let Lutman/Cone anywhere near the bar table lol.
 
I read some of this and all i have to say is:

"If you're not hustling, you're being hustled." ~ forgot who said it.
 
I'd like to play that 9-Ball game with Mr. Bartram on TAR if it can be arranged. I know that being a Ten Ahead set creates a problem for TAR, but perhaps they can give us a three hour block of time to play. If it doesn't finish by then, we would have to move off the table for other matches.

True, it's only a thousand dollar match, but I thought there might be interest in watching this by TAR's viewers. This old cat hasn't got many matches left in him. I'm pretty much retired to stud these last few years. :rolleyes:
