I think the word you're looking for is pathetic. Sad left the forum 4 threads ago.
^^^^^ This. Let's see if you any shred of talent or if this is a pipe dream. Coming to terms with living a pipe dream is a difficult thing to do. Almost 99.9% of us on this site, me included, have come to terms with the fact that although we all play well to a certain degree -- we have no "future in the game," so to speak. Meaning, GET A JOB and stop living like a hermit and stop thinking you're some kind of pool gambler when any pool gambler from a moderate level and above will simply GUT you even. Much more fun when you have a steady paycheck and play in tourneys or gamble nit-like, which is what I do if anything. Losing hard-earned money to someone just sucks.

I love the comments in here. Read the thread. She is not looking for action. She is looking for gifts. She is not travelling to your location so your friend or buddy or you personally can beat her. She has no money, no car, no where to sleep, nothing to eat, no pool sticks. She can't get to your town, city, state etc.. She can't get to the pool hall down the street in her own town.
She does not want to gamble. She wants at least a 70 / 30 game while being staked by guys in our pool hall that have to be staked in a $10 tourney. They put together their entire lives savings and came up with $50 for her to play games she can't lose. And she is shocked no one wants to play. And posted this stupid thread.
She has hit rock bottom a few times but I guess not enough. Or just not bad enough yet.
I like busting fools that are mad at their money. She is on another level.

I agree wholeheartedly... I gamble a little (nit like yes) but if it's my last few dollars till payday, you can bet your ass I'm sitting at home not doing a damn thing because the way I see it, if it's money I can't afford to lose, well I shouldn't be gambling with it..... WHY on earth would you attempt such a feeble minded, half-baked idea such as this with NO nest-egg (as my mother would call it)???
I'm all for enjoying yourself and following your dreams, but damn, you've got to have something to push yourself forward and keep you going whilst you do that. You can't just go run around the country half-cocked because you one day thought it'd be a good idea. It's no wonder you can't get action, you're broke, a bad gamble, not too great of a shot (from what i've read and seen clips of on the tube) "side note, I'm definitely not that great either but..... I'm also not running around saying I could have been the best", and people don't want to gamble with someone with whom they feel pity for....
Get a job, get yourself some help and start figuring your life out. MAYBE just maybe you will surprise yourself and find some actual happiness and success in life..
I'm glad people are no longer entertaining this person and rather offering serious and sincere advice
Banks
Banned
People were offering advice since day one, not a word of it was taken seriously. That's not going to change.
What he said.....
Just another thread where said person say's something crazy , then sits back and watches. Sad.
That's because said person is full of shit.
I'd tell her she has action here, but it's not worth the complaints which are likely to ensue about playing on 4 inch pockets. Plus, I doubt I can beat "one of the top players in the country."
Rhea needs another "lose this set, and sign up for the military" bet....
Well, let's just say a chunk of $10K
You know I was thinking on this and I'm not sure, but I believe I may have played Rhea, before he was Rhea, maybe like 15 years ago. I think we used to play 9ball, if it's who I'm thinking of and I have a funny story about the last time we played, if in fact he is really she.
Lou Figueroa
or sumthin' like that
I don't know Rhea, and I haven't followed her blogs, threads, etc...
however, If she is truly hard up, no money, no car, no "nuthin"... then I would be willing to give her some action
Am I confident I have a chance... not really...
Do I really care... NOPE
I have a real job, and I play for what I can afford to lose.
So if she has the nuts, bring it... if I donate $50 to someone in need, I will check two of my blocks for the month (charity to the needy, and loving playing the game)
However, I will say... Unless you play SVB speed, don't expect to steamroll... as I have been known to put a rack or two... or more... together, when I am feeling froggy
Pick the spot in STL, and you pick the game, no spot. even money

Lou, perhaps the experience in playing you is what motivated the sex change. Is that possibly related to the funny story?
Perhaps John Barton didn't get suspended, he may now be Joan Barton. Who knows, losing that extra equipment might straighten out his stroke.

I appologize, I should not have said anything, I was just barking on the forum.
I don't gamble anymore, and I should not have said what I said. I also dont feel that it is appropriate to meet up with a woman... for any reason, as I am happily married, and that looks bad on all fronts.
Sorry to have wasted your time
I do wish you the best of rolls on your journey though.
