I Want Some More Action!!!

Nothing is a fake about anything...I played Ronnie last night getting 8-7 6 ahead and I ended up 3 games winner..Someone did post something on here the other day for me but Any game I say I will play on here that means its on...I won't back out of a game if I say I will play....

Darren you were a good guy to gamble with but I am not sure if I can play you again even. I think you might have to give up alittle something for me to try you again.

Chris...if you happen to be in the St. Louis area anytime soon (next couple of weeks or so) Justin Bergman will try you some with the 8 if you're interested. There also happens to be a mid-west tour tournament next weekend (9/10) so there could also be some more action to be had along with him as well.

I drove all the way there before to play that game after he said he could get staked and when I got there he couldn't get staked. Now that I hear he is playing better I will come play him even or if he comes to my poolroom he can get the last two.
 
Okay. I'm going to give you a Christ Bartram test, to see if it's really you. :D

At the DCC several years ago, you matched up with Keith McCready on the bar box. Who was Keith's partner?

This is only a test! :p

Jennie,

I just got off the phone with Chris and here is your answer... At the 2004 DCC Keith and Little John played partners against Chris on the bar table 7 ahead for 3 big bags plus side action. Danny was in on the bet with him and he thinks that you were talking to Danny while they were playing. Keith and Little John got up 5 pretty quick then Chris started breaking good and took it down pretty quick from there.

For the enquiring minds that want to know, Chris and Ronnie played last night, as reported earlier, and at closing time Chris was up three games playing 6 ahead. Chris is making his way to the room now to finish the set this afternoon/evening. Chris is also supposed to play Chohan 10 ball again later this week.

Jam, that's no test! There was at least a hundred watching and with in a day or so, everybody at DCC knew what had happened. Ask him what tip he is using at present. There's only two or three people who knows that answer.

there is no test

chris told me he almost never goes on here. there are a couple of people that have his info that come on and talk as if they are him. he said he doesn't care if they do. so odds are you are not talking to chris, but what the others say that post for him, he will live up to. that about sums it up. i don't think they are going to tell you when it is or isn't chris.
 
This is getting to be a joke. First the name, then dress code and possibility having a friend post his ads. Why even care! If he is typing or not. He is just looking for action and this thread is getting rediculous.

Isn't chris playing better as well? I don't remember chris ever coming to STL and not getting in action. In fact, the last time he was here he did some serious stealing.

This question is directed to all you big money players...

If someone pockets $10,000 from a win to 10 up in 9 ball, what do you do with the money? How much money do pro pool players make "on the side"?

And why don't these money players commission Tim Scruggs or Ginacue or Mike Bender or John Madden to build a really great custom cue so they can have some style and return the dignity to this game.

That's a concept I take pretty seriously. Conducting myself in a dignified manner while playing pool. I never play pool unless I'm dressed up and it's been said before but you'll never catch The Woim playing with a production cue nor wearing cheap shoes. All my shoes are laced up oxford and brogue made of the finest leather - not a single one of them are under $300.

Why can't these money players (like John Schmidt - who will definitely defeat Chris) dress in a more classy manner. We all remember Jackie Gleason playing Minnesota Fats.... Didn't he look too snazzy for words? That's class. Those two actors were playing with authentic Herman Rambow cues for that movie.

Why can't a big money winner spend $4,000 - $12,000 purchasing a Gus Szamboti or Balabushka?

Every once in a while I get on a tirade about dignity.

If I ever won a $10,000 match in one night, I'd be off to have some bespoke shoes made for $900 apiece and I'd be on the phone the very next morning with Mr. Scruggs, Mr. Bender, Mr. Sugartree, Mr. KCHighendcues and Mr. Tarascella (sp). But's that me.

If i were a rich man...

...but I am a happy man.

your a gay man, run along now

First off, what does dignity have to do with how you dress? And second, why single out John Schmidt?, he dresses well all the time. I know plenty of creeps who own expensive cues and dress in great cloths but they are not dignified.
 
If a player wins $10,000, he is probably splitting it with a backer. Chances are that $5,000 he wins is just about all he has. $300 shoes? Balabushkas?Please.

Throw in the expenses to attend the event, then Uncle Sam at the end of the year with his hand out, and you're lucky to have two nickels to rub together when it's all over. :o

Most pool players are like alligators running in a gerbil wheel as fast as they can, never getting ahead.

A fool and wise man are in the wilderness and they are hungry. The wise man says, there are many apple trees over that hill. I'll give you this bucket if you go pick the apples. The fool goes out looking for apple trees, finds them, picks the apples until he fills the bucket. The fool brings the apples back and he and the wise man eat them. The fool says to the wise man, "I don't think you've done enough to deserve those apples. I'm outta here!"

The wise man looks at the fool and says, "Okay. Have it your way, and FWIW, you can keep the bucket."

The fool goes off on his own. The wise man stays, claims the land, and collects the seeds from the apples. He plants the seeds on his land. 10 years pass. The fool returns to see the wise man. Many things have changed. The seeds that were planted grew into acres and acres of orchards that now sustain the wise man plentifully. The fool became angry and shouted at the wise man... "You stole from me! Half of this is all mine!"

The wise man looked at the fool and said... "I concentrated on planting seeds while you concentrated on filling that silly bucket. You had the same opportunity I had, but you didn't recognize it when it was right in front of you. You chose your path, and I chose mine."

IMO, many pool players are like the fool. They are always looking for a way to fill that bucket while never understanding the importance of planting the seeds. For some, that's hard to look at, but nevertheless, it's there and it's obvious.

The wise man continued to count his seeds throughout his life and took every opportunity to call the pool champion a fool.

In reality, the fool had something that the wise man could never buy. It's called natural talent.

The wise man can't play a lick, but the fool has an air of freedom unconquerable, and his spirit can soar.

The wise man continues to count his seeds and dreams about what the fool can do. It's something that seeds cannot buy, unfortunately for the wise man.
