JB vs Lou - Let's Get It On

jb, you are probably the nicest guy in person.

No gamble in me, I'm a little ol' B player. I did donate a few months ago to Johnny Kang. He asked me to play one pocket. I said race to three for $10. No spot. I made one ball.
 
Too many Johnnys

Oh stop. It wasn't highrolling when Lou's "crew" asked me to play for $20,000 on one pocket.org AFTER I said many times I considered Lou the better player but I would still play him for $100 a game.

Gee, say you will play a better player for $100 a game and he comes over the top asking to play for $20,000 and that's NOT highrolling?

But I lose $10,000 to that "better" player and ask to double the bet and don't ask for any weight and that's suddenly high rolling?

I guess I haven't learned anything about the terminology of pool gambling in the 35 years I have been gambling on pool.

And bully? That's equally rich.

Lou comes out on AZB and calls me a "two-bit coward" for ONLY wanting to bet $10,000 AFTER his "crew" challenged me for 20k. And he does this TWO YEARS later to antagonize me on AZB. He has repeatedly called me all sorts of names over the years, even in this thread. He calls Stan Shuffet a con artist and a snake oil salesman and jumped into just about every CTE thread to knock him and anyone who has ever claimed to have success with that aiming method.

So, respectfully, you and I have never had any sort of problem that I can remember and I have always enjoyed your stories of pool back in the day and your greyhound stories. Please don't get in the middle of this without understanding the history between Lou and myself. Back on Rec.Sport.Billiard Lou was a major antagonist frequently saying things to people that would leave the mods here no choice but to ban him. If anyone is an internet bully it was him then and the only reason he is not as brazen now is because he knows how to stay within the rules on a moderated site.

On another site, which allows flame wars he does not dare to try this nonsense because he gets his ass handed to him every time he tries to post his crap.

JohnnyT is the fun crotchety older gent whose hustling and greyhound stories you've enjoyed. JohnnyP is... well, I just know he's not the Johnny you're looking for.

A pain? How so?

I had fun when I played. I sat down when it was Lou's shot and was polite the whole time.

The commentators were quite clear on that.

If Lou didn't have fun then that was his problem. I did nothing to prevent him from it.

I have been away for a while so forgive me if I don't remember this correctly but haven't you posted plenty of stories about how you used to hustle people and how much you enjoy winning money playing pool? If so then how is it not fun to beat someone out of 10K? Lou's report on it indicated he enjoyed it very much iirc.

Yeah, I am a pain alright....I posted a simple challenge to play a guy for $20,000. How awful of me.

BS. Let *me* be clear on this.

You were constantly talking during our match saying, "Is that all you got?" "Oh, it's going to be that way?" And then, when I was trying to run out the final game, you loudly repeating "It's over. It's over."

Oh, and then there was the small matter of you cheating having Dennis Spears whispering in your ear. At the time I wondered why Karen went running out of the Accu-Stats Arena like her hair was on fire. It wasn't until later that night I was told it was because she ran out to greet Dennis, an open level 1pocket player, at the front door and bring him over to where you were sitting so he could coach you.

You are a liar and a cheat. THAT would be why you are a pain.

100% true. There was a microphone right there sensitive enough to pick up just about anything said in the arena. Find anywhere where I wasn't polite when Lou was shooting.

You're damn right I am a piece of work, the huge hearted one-of-kind work of art kind, not the hustling piece of shit kind of group I faced. And if my wife is brought into this one more time I may planning a trip to St. Louis.

You are delusional. Most people here are backing my position with just few going the old school route saying I'm nuts to not go to OK and take you off.

Now you contradict yourself saying you've decide to buy a new machine while still saying I have two days to decide. Take your two days and shove them where the sun don't shine.

If, IF you find the heart to accept then the 20k will be posted and we will see how it goes.

As I said, you're scared.
 
What is John Barton to do ? Lou Figueroa has taken his soul and he don't know how to get it back. I heard he hide in Teachers Billiards .
 
I would love to play JB - just because. Not sure but I'm pretty sure he plays better than me. Of for no other reason than I've only played 3 times in the last 4 years but with that said o still think he may be better. JB recently made me an offer for me to come to OKC to play him some $100 a game. No thanks lol. HOWEVER, Although he said no way no how, DCC would be my only chance to get down - or SBE.

Every time a thread is closed or deleted without any explanation I lose a little bit of interest in hanging out here. It's starting to add up.

Same here.
These treads are more interesting than the "what chalk do you use?" and all the LD shaft bs........
Although this can get tiring too but a healthy doze is good.
No Jerry Springer please.

I did not instigate a fight. That's like saying a woman deserves to be raped of she wears something sexy and talks to a guy.

JB's behavior in this thread is a new level of absurdity even by JB standards.

(... to which I expect JB to reply to my one sentence with a 500 word essay explaining that Lou also said something absurd on rec.sports.billiards in 1981)

No sweat. I'll explain. My good friend Brian (Kickin' Chicken) started this thread in order to somehow work out a rematch. I was trying to assist Brian in doing so. The parties were not getting anywhere on their own, so I thought I would give it a try as a go-between. I didn't do very well, did I? LOL.

It's become apparent to all of us that John and Lou don't get along well enough to communicate. I just thought I would try to find some common ground since we all go back a way. I guess I like impossible challenges. Once they started communicating with each other, it was c'est fini.

Right......talking to someone is instigating a fight? Get real. Nothing I said was any grounds for the threat of assault.
