Last year I was at "Fatboys" house and these 2 young guys from Georgia were there wanting to match up. I was gonna give the one guy 9-7 playing one hole for 5k a game, I had the best of it. Right before we posted the cash, 25k, he went outside and then came back in laughing. He said he wanted 12-5. I asked why? He held up his camera iphone and laughed. "Knock Knock" who's there ? camera phone ! Camera phone who ? Blah blah blah !

What a difference a few years make. Nothing like this ever happened in the old days of pony express.
that night cost me a pile of $$$$:angry:, new topic.....
cotton, call me i got to go soon
Why is it fair for the better player to have a line, but as soon as the other one gets a line there is a sometinge 'wrong'? C'mon!
It's like being angry that one cashier reminds another to close the register drawer before walking away.

"confessions of a pool hustler"
@ blackballed, I didn't have a line on the guy, Fatboy knew a little about how the guy played and I thought 9-7 might be close ! Every body thinks they have a shade the best of it before they play, if not there would never be a game ! When I was travelling around I never asked all around how some body played like they do now. cell phones, internet, on and on ! I just got up and tried to win ! Heck it don't really matter, the cheese is only a way to keep score, lmao !

Right o...I like the way you replied.
I took your original post, "...I was gonna give the one guy 9-7 playing one hole for 5k a game, I had the best of it. " to mean that you knew something.
If you are giving out 9-7 to everyone, well then that is pretty sportay.

@ Blackballed, The guy that I was gonna give 9-7 to was just a shortstop ! I for sure wan't making a open invite, yikes ! People now are getting 18-4, when Is first started playing one pocket a spot like that was unheard of and insulting, lmao ! But it don't matter !

I would sure like to talk more about that 18-4...
I briought it up before in other posts, but I swear that I could teach my brother to beat any living human getting that game. My bro has prob hit 200 balls in his life and he has no idea that 1pocket even exists.
AM I friggin crazy (about the 18-4 thing)?!
Depends
If you're matching him up with Alex, you might be crazy. Apparently he is getting pretty good at giving that spot.
