Yeah that's where I was going. I kind of went off track there at the end. Definitely about gambling.

Gambling is an addiction. IMO, Rhea has a gambling problem.

I played a local guy on Saturday night after a small 8-ball tournament played on Diamond BB's. He's one of the best players in that area (small area) and is a strong 7 in 8-ball and a strong 8-9 in 9-ball. I had just met him that night, through a friend. He was more than generous and willing to match up. I mentioned I didn't bring much cash and was only looking to match up for cheap. We settled on race-to-6 10-ball winner breaks for $50 a set. He won the first set 6-2. We played the second set and I got out to a decent lead, then he started dogging them and leaving me jammed up. He won the second set 6-4 and agreed to play me again sometime. Shook hands and payed the man. Playing for little brings out the player in anyone. There is something to win besides pride.

Rhea matching up without knowing the other player's speed, that's gambling. There is nothing positive about being a gambler. The "gamblers" that win big, they weren't gambling. All those "gamblers" at the horse track, they got some insight before betting. That's not gambling.

Grout work sounds super sweet to me, and at the end of the day you can buy a bunch of new walmart clothes! Winning!
 
30 to 40 sounds like 5 an hour to me.

All In.

Pumped Up.

Steered and Staked.

Dems some heavy Road Player words. Hate to say this Rhea but it doesn't lend one bit of credibility to your posts.

If writing a book about the road and wanting the terminology to reflect knowledge, focus on the following phrases:

1. Money management
2. Risk management

You earn money by taking intelligent risks within the limits of your bankroll. Gamblers lose all their money to intelligent risk takers.

But intelligent risk taking requires discipline; something gamblers don't have.
 
I know what the book is going to be called.

Dick, Or Jane? Maybe Spot Doesn't Get Enuff Spots.

Ooops, I'm banned. I don't care. This is way over the top and beyond anything that a Normal human being would do, anywhere at anytime.

There is absolutely no way on God's Green Acres that this women is going to succeed at this rate except pounding herself into the ground.

See ya next month. I'll be All In after I get Pumped Up.

Don't worry Blue Hog, you can always Back it and Jack it when you return. You aren't gonna make the book if you don't straighten up.:wink:

are you actually backing-up mine & Rhea's point?!?! :eek:
cause that title is so simplistic; it makes it.

if Wilson would allow me, i'd post one of the best emails i've ever received. it's a gorgeous (and i mean drop-dead) oriental woman. long silky black hair. smooth golden skin. perfect makeup w/ eyes lined in black, further accenting them. gloss red full lips. (the jpg is so large because of her sprawl, that you have to scroll down slowly.) up and over her huge, round, firm _____. across her curvaceous, flat, bare stomach. and down to....
....
....
....
....
HIS ____!

BHR, i'll bet you $1, if you'll bring that Saskachewan ass down here, that i can dupe you w/ a TS. ON, or OFF of the table.

but until this happens to a TD or a promoter,
and women and/or men get behind the idea of "open",
Pool won't change with the Times....

Not me. She is probably riding the dog to where she can get steered and staked so she can stack it up and take it down to get pumped back up.
 
I played seriously well from 1965 to 1973. I quit playing, went to college, got married, had kids and saved my money. I started playing again in the late 1980's and found I played better. So the moral to the story is that pool is fun if you don't have to sweat it daily and can play anytime you want and not worry about finding action. If it comes then fine but if it doesn't then go play poker. You know all pool players end up playing poker anyway……

One of the best posts I've ever read 😂😂😂


Why am I the Colonel? Because I always get the chicken
 
I think the fat lady has already sang on this road trip. Stick a fork time. Johnnyt
 
On the lemon
Cover the rail
Out run the nuts
Back it and jack it
Take care of whitey
Shoot an air barrel
He's got three barrels left
The Orange crush and a hand span

There's a few

Thanks!!! For that to happen she will need to snap off some big scores so she will have a fat stack to pay my fees, which will need to be posted on the light before I write the first word.
 
I gotta say, for a B player to get flown around to be steared and staked... she must be doing something right. Maybe there is something to using this lingo.
