Bonnie did fine

Two players who play weekly.Not strangers. Playing for low stakes. Know they will see each other 2 to 3 times the next few days. Money not posted as there was no need to. Money not paid the night of action due to drinking and missed communication. He said- she said, blah, blah, blah. Someone tell me where is the big issue. Is she moving from Texas to save 40 bucks or isnt it obvious she always had all intentions of paying. So much controversy over so little action. Wheres the beef ?

For this to happen, here are my conditions:

1. Money has to be posted up by this Sunday afternoon & held by some reputable person such as aka trigger or Bigtruck.

2. Race to 25 for the agreed amount or more.

3. TX Express rule with three foul rule in effect & jump cue allowed.

4. Balls racked by referee or rack your own.

If any one of the above conditions is not met, the deal is off.

You are quite right that the original issue was a tempest in a teapot. However, Sang's thread starter leaving several lady's reputation in question had more to do with the thread running wild than anything else. My word has been my bond for many years and someone damaging my reputation even accidentally would offend me greatly. I well understand the ladies and their friends getting involved.

Who is this horse you speak of?

Number of pages depends on your settings. I'm on page 24! LOL

Interesting

I am currently at the Fast Eddies 9 ball tour stop. Many people from Austin are here, including Dragon Cue.

I just heard that Sang asked Bonnie to play, not the other way around!!

This puts a new light on the OP. IMO.

I don't think either of them acquitted themselves particularly well in this thread. Hopefully neither will suffer any long lasting damage to their reputation.

If there is one thing that I have ever learned about gambling, ESPECIALLY from reading this forum over the years, it is that you MUST get paid after every match and/or game, depending on how you're playing.

It's bad enough that there are a multitude of pool rules, providing some crawfish and welchers an opportunity to wiggle their way out of a loss, i.e., call pocket versus call shot, ball on the break a win versus being spotted and/or a loss in 8-ball, et cetera.

Here's a copy-and-paste of my previously written air barrel story involving two veterans who should have known better:

I almost hesitate to post this, but it's a true story about an air barrel, my first experience with a player by the name of Keith McCready. It all happened in Maryland at the Capital City Classic tournament.

I had been away from pool for at least 15 years or more. I ran into an old pool friend at Montgomery Mall who invited me to this pool tournament in Maryland. I really didn't want to go, truth be told, but he was insisting I should come and see the old gang. So I agreed to meet him there at a designated time.

As my luck would have it, I arrived at the parking lot of the hotel and received a phone call from him on my cell, stating he had to work late and couldn't make it. I almost didn't go in, but I was there, and so I figured I'd at least check it out.

I was kind of nervous, figuring I wouldn't know anybody, but much to my surprise, as soon as I walked in, I recognized the tournament director, Dennis Wilson, who warmly greeted me with a hug. When I walked into the ballroom, I saw Fat Wayne from Baltimore, Timmy Crown, Tom-Tom, Drug Fair, Parks. Soon I was feeling comfy sitting on the rail, sweating the matches with my pool buddies.

I went outside to smoke a cigarette, and out walks a player I recognized but had never met. It was Keith McCready. I initiated the conversation as we were puffing our smokes. He and I had a good friend in common which was Geese. Up walks this short man, and Keith introduced me to him as his road partner. I said, "I'm glad to meet you, Jose. Do you play pool too?" He chuckled, looked at Keith, and said yes. Later that week, Jose Parica won the tournament, BTW.

Keith and I went inside together. He had a friend with him named Larry Lisciotti who kept me in stitches laughing all night long. Larry, Keith, and myself were a threesome, it would seem. I was actually having a good time, laughing it up at Larry and Keith. What a combo!

The three of us stepped into an elevator and in walks this cocky blond-haired kid named Pistol Pete. He looked right at Keith and said, "You want to play some 9-ball?" Keith looks at him and says, "Well, sure. How do you want to play?" thinking he'd want a spot. The kid says, "I know exactly who you are, and I'll play your ass even for 100 bucks a game."

Well, Keith was, shall I say, on the shortskies for funds. Larry and I had some dough, and so we backed Keith 50/50. Keith wins the first game, and the kid immediately racks them. Larry says to me, "Did he get paid?" I said, "I don't know. I didn't see any money change hands." The second game, Keith wins it easy. The kid wastes no time and racks them again. This time, I said to Larry, "I don't see Keith getting paid." Larry walks over to Keith and asks him where's the cheese. Keith said the kid was going to pay him as soon as he got change. I'm thinking WTF. Change? It's $100 a game. Larry then instructed Keith to demand to be paid after the next game.

Keith again wins, and it was the third game. Pistol Pete walks over to his case on the rail, packs it up, and scurries out of the ballroom like a snake making a quick get-away. Well, Larry and me jump up and run after him, with Keith in the rears.

Outside in the lobby, a heated colloquy ensued. Pistol Pete says he ain't got no money and there ain't nothing any of us can do about it. I thought Larry was going to kill him. I was giving him a verbal lashing. However, Keith was calm as a cucumber. He listened to Pistol Pete intently, while me and Larry were hammering away at him with our anger. Keith then said to him, "Look, Kid, you shouldn't do that to people. It's okay. You can leave, but don't ever do that again to anybody, you hear?"

I was in disbelief, as was Larry. I didn't understand Keith's reaction then, but I do today. It is Keith's interpretation of that kid's air barrel that is the real meat of this story. Anybody else would have tarred and feathered the kid, but Keith only saw a young'n who wanted to play a good player for the thrill of it at all costs, even if it meant an air barrel.

Oh, BTW, we did run into Pistol Pete several months later in Baltimore. We walked into Bill and Billie's, and he was gambling with Danny Green, a local pool great, on the front table. You should have seen his eyes when he saw me and Keith walk in! What happened then, though, is a story for another thread!

Moral of the story is it can happen to the best of 'em, but if you're a smart gambler, you won't let it happen again. :wink:

whoa....

re: your post:

from "my male" point of view: i read your post and was rotfl.

from a "husband's" point of view: there is no one in the world that can compare to my beloved wife, and that is why G-d made her - "incomparable"! [she ain't really that good a cook anyway.] but i would be nothing without her!

as smorgie would say: "imo".

all the best,

Do I know you, Patrick? Let me get help on my break from Shane & Sarah this weekend and then we'll talk :p

However, I did see you and Shane at the Olympia Open II in Oconomowoc, WI. I play out of Milwaukee. I did okay in the tourney but I played in the lower division. I just played in the No Masters event in Beloit, WI and eeked out a 15th place finish out of 100. I am planning on attending the event in Oshkosh, WI this weekend and playing in the Open event in Beloit next weekend at the Carom Room. I think I am very capable of taking my game up another notch or two in the next few months...

Don't know if SEGER played a tap but he enjoyed the game/action up in DEEEEEEEEETRIOT back in the day.


(per a friend who put a lot of jingle in his jeans up yonder)

Come to think of it my friend was a pool shootin mo-fo who was a composite of BUSSEY, NICHOLSON, NOLTE and SEGER with a teench of his parents probably thrown in.
