Am I a D - Bag

You were right. Those are only fouls if your opponent speaks up before hand.

Since you were in Providence, I certainly hope it was against someone who deserved it:D.

What he said :smile:
 
The value on personal integrity varies from person to person. If it doesn't bug you, whatever I guess. I know the rules, and would play by them whether my opponent knows them or not. With pool already in the gutter, I feel like we "real" pool players should each try to act as ambassadors, especially to the newbies.

Personally I would've called my self on both instances, but I don't really care if I win or lose. Most of the time when I play it's to have fun.

best,

Justin

I vote BOTH! But only because you are from MA and are a MASShole obviously.

Rules are rules, if someone does not tell me I'm on 2, I would not let them take the game, nor if they don't check if the ball is frozen.

Yeah, something like what he said.

If the dude's gonna try to 3-foul you, or even mention the rule, he should know how to use it. By not telling you that you're on 2 and then having a hissy fit, it shows he's a dbag in this case who likes to bring up rules but doesn't know how they work. Same applies in the case of the frozen ball. Tough lesson to learn for him, so he ought to remember it next time and not be such a baby.

Edit: For fun I'd call both on myself. With cash involved, you'd better know the rules if you're going to try calling them against me.

ok so this past sunday at a tournement, I fouled for a second time. No warning was given. i fouled a 3rd time. As the gentleman was about to reach for the rack I asked what he was doing, he said i 3 fouled. I said he never told me i was on 2 ( he didn't I swear ) and the fact that that was the 3rd foul is irrelevant. He starts pissing and moaning to the point i gotta call the tournement directer to calm the man down. At another point in the match i froze the object ball at the cueball to the rail ( the object ball was not declared frozen ) and he again tried to say I fouled. I said he did not declare the ball frozen he once again flipped out. Am I a douche or does this guy need to learn to speak up.

This is a tough one.(little harder call then the break out poll one)
How do you feel about it?Do you feel guilty in anyway?

In all seriousness,I think it comes down to knowing whats right outside
any rules.It was like a debate last year about calling a foul on yourself
if your opponent never saw it,but knowing you did.
I think it all comes down to you and what you feel is the right choice .
When you feel awkward afterwards,you know you made the wrong one.

i acknowklaged the fouls on the first one but he didnt thats the point yes i 3 fouled but he said nothing till after it happened
 
If you are playing in a tourney, he needs to learn the rules, learn to pay attention or learn how to speak up.

Myself, I won't go for the 3 foul rule if I am not warned before hand.

Pretty simple, thats why they have rules, so they can be implemented if you
know how to use them properly.

I did get called for a 3 foul once and when I told him that I wasn't warned, he said that he had told me.
I said that I didn't hear you and that I also have to acknowledge that I heard you. Can't say it under your breath.
In this particular situation, I know 100% it was BS. What can ya do eh.

If your okay with it,then its all good.You didn't
cheat and stayed within the rules.Personally,I couldn't but thats me.
Still doesn't make you a bad person.
 
You didn't manipulate anything. He didn't warn you, therefor a 3rd consecutive foul did not cause a loss of game. He didn't confirm a frozen ball, so how's he going to pitch a fit about a frozen ball?

I wanna be Blue Bag ok.

Scotch Doubles Thurs. The Douching starts tonight.

Where we are playing tonight, they only have a couple of pieces of chalk. I will start off by knocking the chalk into the pockets.
Accidentally of course.

I call fouls on myself all the time while gambling, and in tourny's. With that said, according to the rules, he didnt foul.

Your comparison is not apples to apples.

Truth is you took advantage of what happened.It was the guy you was playing responsibility to make the call ,he didnt.(his bad)
You are just like a lot of other players who use rules for your own gain.:smile: Your probably not a d-bag but i would make sure I mark the 8 ball against you.:p

Technically you're right, but you must realize you're also a D-bag.

And since you're making the post, you get 25% of the D-bag title.

There is a video of Earl clearly fouling but then saying "he didn't call it," or something like that. Someone please find it. It's an example of him being technically correct, but the implication to his character are devastating.
