big $$$ pool is addictive, social pool is fun. two different worlds
I dont have lots of experience in big $$$ pool yet, only one $10,000 set race to 9-2, I got drilled, but I have played lots of 2-5K sets won some lost some. for me i love the big $$$ and love how I play when i'm in that spot, I cant imagine how hard it would be to lay that down, i have only tested those waters and I like it-so that will be my new thing, more big $$$ pool. And save that shit it dont matter to me cause you have $$, I lost over 70M this year, to me $100 now is the same as it was 15 years ago when I was busted, I have only had $$$ for 20% of my life. So yeah it hurts and I have alot to learn, but this is about Grady-I only mention myself to prove a point-I lost my passion Bodybuilding, now i'm getting ready for big $$$ pool-and not like Dippy dave all due respect-I'm playing to win.
I cried the last time I was at the gym and I knew body building was over, sure I can go to the gym and circuit train and be social but that wasnt me, so goinng back to the gym to be something I never was is gonna be hard. I like hardcore gyms where the smallest guy is me at 250 hard and full of roids. I dont like chrome plated gyms with starbucks at the entrance and a car wash.
Grady played 40 years of big action, was busted a time or two, but awalys got pumped up and bet more than 99% of anyone who holds a cue(no matter how big their bankroll is), its a rush playing big $$$ like that, just like pushing your body to its limit and then some(that feeling is addictive as sex). So for Grady to go down swinging may look ugly, isnt graceful, it wasnt for Tyson, MJ, Ali, none of them because you cant get the fight out of the dog-even if the dog is broken. yeah I know first hand when BBing was taken away from me. So while it PC or nice if Grady or any other gladatior of out sport goes down the hard way at least he did it his way a free man, not a crowd pleaser. To just lie down after 40 years and say gee I did good aint a fighter, how do you take the fight out of someone who has been a fighter his whole life??? you dont. Let it look ugly, history will forget that-they wont forget the Grady the fighter.
Grady endured more loss this year than perhaps any year of his life, and he is still a spirited warriorer and to say "its bad for the reputation of pool" is wrong, whats wrong with on man going down swinging??? it will be forgotten, look at howard Vickory nobody noticed for 8 months he was missing, I knew the story 7 months before while he was on the run-I didnt say anything(I forwarned Mike Howerton and Mr. Wilson). So whats better slip away like Howard(forget the bad reason) or go down swinging??? In BBing I slipped away as I had to stop and I dont like that but I had no choice, grady does so I support his decision.
thats how I see it
