We all know something or other, like you mentioning here in St. Louis how you were going to wear a particular T-Shirt to try and shark me during our match, or how you were lied to about how I play some guys.
Everybody know sumthin' ;-)
Lou Figueroa
Lou I have made all that public. I don't care what others said to me about how you play them.
The idea of wearing a Cue and Cushion shirt to mess with your head is just funny to me. And it's particularly funny because you are the most sensitive prima-donna I have ever seen. I mean I am pretty thin skinned on the forum but you are 1000x worse in real life.
How could you get barred from Cue and Cushion? Such a wonderful room with a ton of history and lots of daily action. You got barred because of your smug and pompous attitude AND finally your bad review of the place. I mean they MOVED four tables around just for you. JUST FOR YOU. Because you wanted to have your favorite table in the spot that you thought it would be best for you they rearranged the pool room.
So honestly, the deal is even if I didn't know all that now, didn't get all the "Lou is Lou" stories, I would still feel good about playing you just like I have felt good about matching up with you at ANY time during the past ten years. I have never backed down from you and unless you administer a clear beating I never will.
One thing I know for certain. IF you win and I want to play again you will say no. So this is one shot for me to get in your pocket and I intend to make it hurt you. When you get to the match buddy boy your prima donna BS won't work on me. You're in a dogfight pal and I predict you don't have the stones to fade it.
If you think I am so stupid as to rely on people's stories of how you play this guy and that guy then you had better forfeit now. And I am not so stupid as to bear down in front of people I don't know on your table that you play on every day.
The fact is though that you are reviled in St. Louis. No one was lying to me about that. "Lou is Lou" is about the BEST thing that anyone can say about you.
The difference between me and you Lou is that I don't run with my tail between my legs. My only regret at this point is not making you post the whole ten thousand. Now you still have an out to only be charged $3000 for all your arrogance and bullying. I hope you really do have the stones to show up because then we will get to see if you really are stealing from the case maker or if you are really just the wannabe who donates to better players a couple times a year on your charity trips to big events.
As for the money.....well MAYBE you can fade playing for this amount and MAYBE you can fade being staked for this amount......but since you are widely known as NOT EVEN a $25 player who can't get in any game without causing controversy - then it remains to be seen if you can hold your game together and play your best - whatever that might be.
I personally don't think you can knowing how sensitive you are. But I am prepared for you to come out like Efren and if so then I will take my licks and that's that. But if you don't.......well........imagine the consequences of letting me win.
