Meaning how much weight you would want to play him in this match? For you to have a good chance to win?

I would need a 10 game spot. Even then I would be sweating it. That's only if he played like he used to the the 1980's.:smile:
 
Would not play him 9-ball for dough.9 ball is a practice game.

I will take 10-6 playing 1 pocket though.

There is no spot I could win with....I would play him even. And whatever I lost would be a cheap price to pay!

p.s. same goes for you Lock!
 
The 6 out and 4 on the wire. Then we would be gambling! I'd still be intimidated tho lol...
 
A lot depends on how the breaks are issued & what kind of rack we are using. Obviously winner breaks + magic rack is death for me unless he gives me 10 and that's not going to happen; the last time I played Slivka here in Pittsburgh he gave me lots of games but damn few chances at the table let alone an open table with a good shot. If I don't shoot or am the recipiant of a lockup safe, how to win? Well I lost, not because I shot bad bu tnot enough trips to the table. I would try to negotiate "I get all the breaks", if he wouldn't go for that I would say "loser breaks" if he wouldn't go for that I would say "Alternate breaks" if he wouldn't go for that I would walk away. If I get all the breaks + magic rack; eh give me 7 on the wire and you got a deal. I have no shame, I might try to negotiate 8.
 
I don't take weight from anybody.

The road to greatness is a toll road and sometimes you just have to pay the toll.
 
I would ask for no spot. That way if a miracle happened and I shot lights out and won i could brag about it for the rest of my life.
 
I wouldn't give him ANY weight, oh wait, you mean, never mind.......!

Honestly though, I think I would rather play him straight up and enjoy the lesson as others have stated. If anything I would ask for the break so that I had some slim chance!
 
I would have my wife make two make that three Iowa pork chops ,mashed potatoes,corn, biscuits. Glad to hear Buddy is being Buddy. Now after that meal even up. BAR RAG SHOOTOUT.come back too Iowa again.
 
Depends on how big the slice of cheese is. $20 or less is funsies and no weight.
:grin:

You may get your chance, I am kinda working on something that would bring Buddy to Joe's we shall see if ity works. Hope you are well
 
Also working on possibly doing a challenge match for Buddy in Round Rock, Tx So maybe anyone who wants to give it a quick try may get the chance. :)

I'd ask to first have a race with him then immediately play ... say 5 miles.
