He is just puffing in the wind. If he really wanted to play, he could find a way other than saying, 'All you suckers come my way, and I'll take your money'. He could get played in Kansas too, Wichita and Olathe.
More than a few players have related stories to me of how Larry can get really difficult if he is losing. I can see how Donny would rather just skip that kind of action and that doesn't make him a nit. Tell Nevel to control his temper better and he will get played more.
Whatever. I'm so sick of people saying they won't play Larry because of his temper. He doesn't throw things, he doesn't yell at people, the most he does is hits the butt of his cue on the floor. If people, especially top players, can't play against that then their mental game is just shot. I'm a low A player at best and I've played against people that do way worse stuff then Larry and it doesn't bother me one bit. I still get up there and play my game. People need to stop making up excuses for not playing Larry and just admit that they can't beat him. Larry is easily one of the top 5 all-around players in the world today (and that comes from way more people than just myself, other pros included), and nobody can beat him day in and day out, deal with it!
