It's also a good way to get an opponent to play for $10,000 or more on TAR. It worked for Bartram, Harrimam, Schmidt, Appleton and more recently Donny Mills.
Great. Now you have put Avina and Schmidt in the same search results.

Don't forget OMGWTF, she did pretty well with the forum/Tar thing once before. It might have been all about the dis that time too, but I think the 3K she won still spent A-OK.

The problem is it's not a "billiards thing". It's a forum thing. I haven't been terribly fond of Mary Avina's self promotion either but if OMGWTF was looking for a money-game, she could have PM'd her. By calling her out in a public forum, it's no longer about money. It's about live streaming, polls, smack-talking threads. I can understand why a lot of players who would be happy to bet it up would shy away from it.
Calling someone out in a public forum is a good way to lose your fish and it's inherently a dis.
That's a very good post Jude. There's a # of angles at work here and allow me to ask hypothetically:
Should a woman be held to a different forum standard of being challenged and woofing vs a man?
Jude Rosenstock, are you calling Mary Avina a fish?!

Yeah, that's precisely what I'm talking about. Those two HATE eachother. It was an extremely personal match and tons of trash talk. Would you want that kind of attention?

Mary is not afraid of internet attention after all of the videos, website, postings, pictures, etc., AND she stated that she plays for money and has backers.
Omgwtf had no reason to believe that offering Mary a game in a public forum would be "uncool."
So I say that a game wouldn't have happened, no matter what. If Omgwtf did it quietly through IM, she might have got a $20 race to 5 secretly and in private, but that wouldn't even pay Omgwtf's bus fare. And it'd make Omgwtf look like a thief trying to sneak up on someone.
There's nothing Omgwtf could have possibly said or done that would have fit "respectful, serious, clean, AND cool." Seems to me like the "dissing" started with the critique of the invitation itself.

Do I want that kind of attention? No way. OMGWTF walks into the pool hall I'm in I run the other way for fear she'll call me out. However, I also don't post pics of myself in a short skirt leaning back to hit an imaginary masse' shot, so you asking me if I'm seeking attention might be a little off the mark. I also didn't post that I have backers (I don't) and that I'm ready to gamble (I'm not).
Thanks

For the record, no offense, this Mary woman isn't that hot...definitely not hot enough for 4 pages of forum goodness. I'd rather post about tip tappers.
Agree. Low hotness factor. I don't even know what omgwtf looks like, but I GUARANTEE I would find her more attractive than this girl, as omgwtf comes across as extremely intelligent and driven, both qualities I find much more desirable in a woman than a low cut top and big bazongas.
(Yes, omgwtf, I know you are taken, and no, I am not hitting on you. :-D...)
