A true chickenshit will always high-roll when he knows the other guy is broke.
Even if he aint got it himself.
Truth is , I can't afford a dime a set.
Right now, I can't afford $100 a set.
You probably guessed this.
If you wan't to settle it, FINE!
I'll drive down for cheap sets.
If that aint good enough.
So be it.
drivermaker said:
Play me
Play me and prove it.
It ain't gonna cost you nothing.
Play me and tell everybody I can't play.
Tell 'em I got no game.
Oh, I'll play banks too.
BazookaJoe said:
if you can play........you shouldn't have any problems finding a backer.
That might be the problem...2 way street

It's not good enough. I don't even want to be around you to begin with. Cheap sets are like a friendly match...I don't want to be your friend. I want to break your ass, bad. But then again, you already are.
And I DO have the money. I'm not going to be shitting my pants to play for it either. Easy come...easy go...and it'll just be easy come again if it got lost.
In your case, it's life or death. Not a good thing to be doing if you can't even describe how to line up and make a staight in shot.

I actually heard from a reliable source that you DO have some game. Not a bad player at all. However, it's going to cost YOU something.

Don't bother me...save your money. Here's my PM....drivermaker
drivermaker said:
PM?
Am I waiting on a PM from you?
Hell.......I'll even pay the table time (win or lose)
How's this?
If you beat me, I'll never post here again.
If you'll agree to do the same.

Thank you Richard for bringing it back to topic.
I sincerely apologize for taking up everyone's time by arguing with DM.

Are you not getting this through your fucking stupid head or what? I DON'T want to be AROUND YOU for table time, cheap sets, to discuss pool knowledge, to show you anything, a friendly match, to drink beers, to chase women, or whatever else your moronic mind comes up with. When you're dead serious and have some cash on hand, (what I said earlier) just PM me.
This online forum woofing might be getting your rocks off, but it's doing nothing for me. That's it...

And so goes the poolworld. Lets not give out info that may help average players play better.
I understand he doesnt like his method discussed, and would be willing to not pass that info along to other people but instead refer them to him if that is what he wants.
But it seems to me I remember someone saying one of his complaints about billiard instructors was that they didnt give students a good way of aiming, so I would think he would want to help instructors help students.
Thanks for the info DM, I really am interested in learning his methods if not for people I work with at least for my own game.
I understand your position, but this has been so common of what I find in the billiard community. Someone will say "I have a better way to do such and such" but I cant show you.

I think he HAS explained his methods to a couple of instructors that he trusts implicitly. He's just very picky and choosy about it though. I'm just a player so he has nothing to really worry about with me. I'm not going to capitalize on it, make DVD's or VHS tapes, write books, or call it my own invention like too many want to do.

I will never claim that I do not aim.
Hey, I'm a poet and didn't know it.
But, I do hate people who sell "systems" which are just different ways of getting the cue ball to the contact point on the object ball.
If it's a teaching method they use in their instruction to help people visualize the way a sphere contacts another sphere, then fine.
But that is just a method of teaching a student, and not a system that should be sold in a leaflet as the best way to do it.
Aligning your body with the shot, and aiming the cue through the cue ball at a spot on the object ball is the only way to make the ball.
How you visualize this is up to you.
I can't explain how I aim. I just look where I want to plant that cue ball, line myself up, and pocket the ball. I don't claim I make em all, yet more often it is my stroke, not my aim, that fails.
How often do you hear an announcer on Accu-Stats say "Oh, he didn't use ghost ball for that shot." or "He's not using the correct aiming system."?
Normally, you hear "Oh, he's raising up" or "He looked a little shakey."
I can't tell you how many nines I've dogged because, thinking "I can't miss this", I didn't align or aim. I just dropped and shot "knowing" I would make it.
But, we all have rushed a shot. And we've all paid for it.
Systems are visual aids. That's all I'm saying. Once you have yours down, it's second nature, and you forget if it's ghost ball or railroad tracks. It becomes feel and the "system" become irrelevant.
Personally, I wouldn't give two cents for anyone's book or paper on a "system".
Hey, this is like my longest post ever.
