I think that saying that anyone who comes to x-place will get matched up and played is ok.
I'll play Jessie if I feel the spot is fair. I did - got the last four and LOST. But I felt when I stepped to the table that I had a fair shot at winning not a lock on winning.
I played him getting 11:7 and won and broke even getting 11:8.
Let's all agree to tone down the insults - we all want to see action but not at the expense of making it not fun anymore.
That was Buddy's point in the podcast and it's totally valid.
I can't stand the whole woofin to the point where it gets personal. Friendly banter is fine. I have had barking contests where both of us have had the whole room in stitches. That's fun. But when it gets personal then it ceases to be any fun.
So please everyone, remember that at the end of the day we all still have to live together and no players or stakehorses or railbirds ever have to become mortal enemies over pool. Especially not over pool.
You get some fine green REP for that post, John.
