Alex VS GUAPO

[cigardave]

I just wish this thread went away - apparently, my original post didn't come across the way I intended, that's all. The more you defend yourself on a misinterpreted post, the worse it gets. It's like a nightmare.

Yep... just ask Handsumm/Belmicah.

Awwwwww C'mon guys.

I see the taste in this match. Alex is heavy favourite not only because his game is well known to us AZ'ers - But Guap has got game, and DOESN'T follow the conventional flow of emotion and pressure most would exude in the same situation.

What is the format and race to what and at what time of day is the match ?

[smoooothstroke]

I didn't deride anyone. When you read his quote it's a stark contrast from Karl's (which is all I was saying). Are you being SERIOUS???? JB Cases calls ME out to defend my original post saying I'm deriding Alex P of all people??? Am I on f-ing Candid Camera or something? I'm waiting for the Punk'd girl to walk in and point to the hidden camera or something.

OOOOK. Whatever you say. I'm sorry JB. Please someone delete this thread before I throw my laptop out of my window like a frisbee.
ugggggggh

Waaaaiiiiittttttttt!!! Where're you at dude and which window? I need a laptop. Send specs pls.

Seriously though, it's the playful Alex you saw. The dude has no mean bones in his system. Only when he's down on the count and the big cheese is at stake and only on the table. Chill out. He's just stirring up the competition. Now, where're you at again?

You guys haven't heard? Roy is the honorary Filipino. Plays like one by now too.

OK OK OK OK,

EVERYONE here know's Alex is just messing around rubbing Karl up, and is not calling him out. This is Alex being playful and a little frisky. WE ALL KNOW THIS.

The original post just said what was said.

Can we please get back to the intent of the original post and concentrate on the match up ?

This is race to 15, 8 Ball IPT conditions 7pm PT ?

Alex (on recent results against SVB) is seen as favourite. BUT, what is Alex's records on a relatively short race ?

I have no doubt in Karls game, the trick for me is, whether he plays his own or Alex's game racing to 15. If he clearly sticks to his own; it will be a very good and very close match. Very close.

Sorry Fanthom - I still reckon he's trying to slack his way into a free deportation holiday !

Just make sure Norwegian Customs have an up to date book of flags otherwise ANYTHING could happen bud ! LOL !

In a race to what? 8 ball? Dont forget Gwapo ranked pretty high at the last WPC. He shouldve got there before Peach. You might get 4 in a race to 50 in 10 ball but 8 ball you get 1 to 20. I dont underestimate anyone that hangs out with Appelton.
Oh wait I didnt see this actually set for a race to 15.
OK Ill give 1 but I dont like it.

That's derekdisco's subtle way of robbing somebody blind I guess!

Alex woofing wont get more viewers on their free broadcast. It's not like they're gambling. I get it, trust me pal. I was just pointing out the differences in each player's approach to the match.

I guess you either like Alex's cocky banter or you don't. For some reason, I love the cockiness of Strickland, McCready, Daulton and the smooth cockiness of Cardone... but Alex seems abrasive for someone 3'9".

There you have it.. you hated the short guy's guts even before he made that statement. Whoever takes Alex's jokes seriously becomes the joke himself.. jmo

 

[Ste]

Does anyone wanna talk about the game ?

We've had 3 pages of he said she said... and people still wonder why corporates and off-industry companies don't invest in our sport ?

Corporates and off industry do actually read what's written here.

What game? I believe this thread was posted to show the difference between Karl and Alex's approach to the match...How classy Gwapo's remarks are and how badly Alex's statements can be misinterpreted.

For whatever it's worth, I apologize to the "corporates and off-industry companies who don't invest in our sport" .. Please invest in our sport..

I guess so. I made a post to create a little controversy and I got cornered. JB was a little outta line to say I was deriding Alex.

I just wish this thread went away - apparently, my original post didn't come across the way I intended, that's all. The more you defend yourself on a misinterpreted post, the worse it gets. It's like a nightmare.

Spider,
I wouldn't worry about it. Everybody occasionally posts something that they wish they could either express better or even re-word it to better convey the right meaning. I think you asked an innocent question and just may not have known that Alex is "infamous" for playful banter, just like what you quoted from him.

There's not one person on AZB or anywhere else, who has not said something at some time in their life that just didn't come out well. A few days ago, I myself posted that I was "certain" that Billy would "crush" Keith in 1P" (I knew Keith played 9 ball & banks at top speed, but thought he was just so-so at 1P and 14.1) I was so WRONG! After I posted, Jay & Freddy both enlightened me. Plus, I worried strong that I could have hurt Keith or Jenny if they misconstrued my ignorance of Keith's 1P speed & thought I was dissing him. But it panned out OK. I got a super PM from JAM, who, once again, couldn't have been nicer to me. And I learned something I didn't know about the Earthquake...he DOES have a super-strong 1P game!

Bottom line is you have many, many members here who know you as a respected and classy guy, and who has also made lots of terrific contributions to our forum. And if you didn't know previously about Alex's love of woofing it up in a playful manner, then yours was a very innocent question.
Again, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Ok, since you dont like it Ill take alex and give you Karl and a game if you'd like.

 

[yobagua]

Ah youre so wise Disco. Gotta love you. I make it a point to never bet against Alex and Billy Incardona. Come to think of it I dont think I ever bet on an 8 ball game except when Efren won it all.
