Jasper,
I can get you all of this action you desire. Just name the opponent you want and I will set it up. You can choose Johnny Archer, John Schmidt, Kim Davenport, Corey Deuel, or any other pool player/ golfer with whom I am familiar.
I will back the games with cash to be deposited with a third party we both trust. I suggest Mike Howerton or Jay Helfert. Or we can deposit the funds in a bank of your choosing with a trusted third-party signature to release the funds to the winner.
Name your stakes between $10,000 and $50,000. Let's get it on.
First, tell me who you are. I don't hide behind a screen name and neither should you.

So according to your later post this was actually directed at me,ok,let's deal with it.
What on earth are you getting so excited and belligerent about? Are you reading the same thread as me?
Jasper issued an apparently not too serious challenge,in return I issued an apparently not too serious alternative challenge in specific
reply to JASPER,that's J-A-S-P-E-R. Where did you get the nonsensical idea I was throwing out an open challenge to anyone on the planet? How stupid would that be? Do you think that everyone else in the thread who answered Jasper's challenge was throwing out a challenge to the world and looking for action from anyone and if not why on earth do you think my post was any different from theirs? We all answered Jasper.Get the picture? Please read the sequence of posts again carefully without your belligerent head on and have a think about what I've just said in this paragraph
As for the totally unecessary jibe about "hiding" behind a screen name that comment is unfair and unjustified.In the first place what is the point in the website having a screen name function if we are not going to use it? You have serious issues if you really think that everyone who uses a screen name does it with the surreptitious intention of "hiding". Myself and many others don't use a screen name in order to "hide",we use it because that is how the site appears designed to be used and/or because unlike some we don't consider ourselves important enough for there to be any particular relevance in identifying precisely who we are unless someone specifically asks.
As it happens several people on this site and other sites already know who I am,including one of your chosen golf stable John Schmidt,with whom I have already briefly discussed the possibility of playing golf with sometime (playing for money didn't even come up as a subject).I must add that he discussed these things in a damn site more polite manner than you introduce yourself.
I am not in your chosen named stable's pool class by the remotest stretch of the imagination,although I can pot an occasional ball if my contact lenses are in straight and the airline doesn't lose my cue.I am 53 years old. Now I ask you....given those circumstances of age and ability,although I am by no means short of a spare say 10/20K that I could afford to lose and although I have qualified to play in the season ending European PGA Seniors Tour Championship on 9-11 November and therefore am no mug with a golf club, does it really strike you as likely that I would imediately accept the challenge you are offering against those names? I don't like my chances much.What odds would you stretch to and would you agree to pool in USA and golf in UAE,air fares to come out of the pot?
On the other hand,if you want to back Jasper,who many of us site users wanting to have a crack at is what this whole thread was about,until you changed it's direction, then we probably can have a bet at evens
....and lighten up
