Jay Helfert, you and I can play a 5K set of One-Pocket. If you win, I'll take back what I said about your "nice" friend. If I win, you acknowledge that what I said about Buddy Dennis is all true.
Baltimore "buddy" Daniel Dennis passed on.....

Whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger. The bad news is you lost a lot more than $2,000. You allowed your hatred to consume you. That's an even bigger loss and affects all areas of your life. Only you can answer that question.
I once took a pool player into my home, gave him food and some stake money. He returned my generosity by stealing my cue and my pocket money and leaving in the middle of the night. I didn't see him for another twenty years. He showed up one year at DCC and I walked over to him. He profusely apologized to me for his transgressions, but thankfully I really didn't care any more. I felt good knowing that I was the bigger man. I had wronged no one!
Another guy used to harass me in high school. He was much bigger than me and had a whole cliche/gang that hung around with him. I bumped into him at my 40th high school reunion and he couldn't be too nice to me. We both remembered but it was unspoken. I had grown stronger (mentally and physically) and he had gotten fat. He knew better than to mess with me now.
Good luck to you One Rock. I'm sure you're a good ethical man. There are a LOT of pool players I have known over the years (some of them very well known) that I could tell some demeaning stories about, but why? What purpose would it serve? Would it make me feel better, no!
One last thing. I have also loaned money to a multitude of pool players, very little of which has ever been repaid as promised. Some of them I see from time to time and say nothing. It's better to be on my end of this equation than theirs. I don't need the money and I don't have to look over my shoulder to see who's coming.

Are you trying to hustle me? Ha Ha
And all this time I thought you were a nice guy who was wronged. Now I know who you really are. You're just like Buddy, cut from the same cloth. Please don't tell us again how he wronged you.
Hey Jay, as I said before, I laughed at his cowardice when he did what he did. I hold no grudge and feel no anger towards the guy. I just find it ironic that folks out here are celebrating the life of a con man who's only notable accomplishments were to rob people. On the other hand, you clearly achieved a lot more than he did; you wrote a couple of books.
Today, I had my picture taken with Pete Margo, a true pool icon (http://www.petermargo.com/biography.html). Here's a guy who won just about everything in his day, and when he realized thee's no money in pool, he walked away, built a business, and became a millionaire. You want to elevate the game's image, celebrate the Pete Margo's of the world and dodge the "Baltimore Bullet".
No, just trying to stir the pot, create some action.
It is only through mercy that any of us can hope for eternal life .
We cannot expect to be shown mercy unless we are able to give it.
I know, easy to say , but hard to do.
But, what hope is there if we don't try our best?
I guess if you put it that way I did achieve something; two books and a 20M real estate portfolio.

In this case, let's jack it up to 10K.
Be careful what you ask for.
I'm asking hoping I might get it.
