JB's AZB

damn

Not surprised to ever hear a great comedian committed suicide. The really zany ones seem to be hanging on to the world by their toe nails and sooner or later. . . . Kinda hope it isn't suicide but I haven't checked news sites yet this morning.

On a side note, Lou, few even know I'm a member of onepocket.org. I visit now and then, don't know the last time I posted.

How are you getting on with teaching people to play in an upright position, Scot? You should give nobby a call - he's easily pleased when it comes to instruction and not good enough to know the difference anyhow.

Yet, for some reason Scott would clean your clock in any game, why is that exactly troll boy??

Yeah, I don't know, Hu, maybe it's all the WWYDs. Not a big fan of those. I usually read the site every few days but sometimes go months without posting.

some in this thread wondered about why I was willing to bet $10g's on John in a rematch with Lou - there were a few reasons.

First and foremost, gambling is exilharating. It can be hard for guys who typically need everything locked up plus a red bow on it to appreciate a real risk and my betting JB would have certainly been that.

However, I saw something in John's game toward the end of day 1 that made me feel if he could have settled down and played a little more conservatively and with better focus, it would have considerably bettered his chances to win.

And the luxury of a backer can sometimes settle a player down, as well.

Also, I certainly would have taken a pass at team Lou to see if they cared to adjust the game given Lou's convincing win. You never know, maybe they would have liked to gamble on it, too. Either way, I asked Lou and I would have gone.

2 last things: John is a friend and sometimes we extend a little more for friends, right? I do.

And lastly, I'm no fan of Lou's backer, Mike. What a pain in the ass this guy was during his time here on az. I had some run-ins with him myself, not to do with JB, btw. He's just an unpleasant pot-stirring kind of guy. So there was that little added incentive for me.

Very smart strategy by Team Lou to bring Mike the Backer to the match given his and JB's history. That was sure to get in John's psychology, at least as much as Erics being there.

JB's a big boy and these were his problems to deal with and to try to overcome. Please don't misunderstand, I know John can dish it out with the best of them.

I thought my being there to support John and make the offer might have been a leveler of sorts.

I like when both sides have a fair chance.

gambling. ;)

I only have one comment: odd how all this is only coming out now that John is back in China.

Lou Figueroa
well, it's odd to me

In honor of the greatest grudge match of all time on AZB which makes Lou/john and OMGWTF/Cub pale in comparison; in fond memory of the great Williebetmore/Breakup grudge match, I'm willing to put 10,000 jellybeans on Lou myself if they play even up again. I hate gambling!

This could be huge!

Lou, Mike is banned from these forums. That means he can't post here. Posting for him is a bannable offense. If Mike wants to post here, he can abide by the rules and be a member again.

Sorry, them's the rules.

Dear Brian

With all due respect I never heard you say you wanted to back John for 10K. Because if you had and I heard it I would have said "Flip it." I don't believe it was seriously offered at all. You had a chance to say something to me about it when we were talking to Ed about his restaurant and you didn't. I tried to bet 25K at the beginning of the match. I tried to double the bet during the match and got turned down. There were at least 20 people there trying to get money down on Lou and no one there, including you, who would take the bet. So if you said you were there to bet 10k on John nobody but you and John heard it or perhaps some half-baked reference was made that didn't sound like a serious statement because we would have a direct call to play right then and there.

If you want to bet 10k on John now. Or 20K. Or 30K bring it to St. Louis in the next 30 days and you can get that money in action, if John shows up. I felt cheated when John didn't take the bets he said he would take, so the idea that I wouldn't take your money on a bet on John is silly. That was the surest bet I've ever made in 50 years. So come to St. Louis now that you're saying you offered 10K on John after the fact. Because I obviously missed your request the first time. I want to make sure you get what you wanted.

In my opinion, Lou shouldn't have been banned for posting for a banned member but for his continuous, ad hominem attacks (which are supposed to be against the forum rules) on John Barton and others of this forum.

His snide, despicable remarks toward good and decent people of this forum should never have been condoned, accepted or allowed but that's just my opinion.

Lou is banned!!! For some reason that makes me feel good. I do like Lou and a lot of his posts, but I don't like him picking on JB so much. Now if we can just get rid of the thaiger and dom poppa this world will be a better place. I don't wanna see Lou gone for good, just wanna see him get a little attitude adjustment.

I agree with you on all points. Maybe the "MUZZLE" will be cinched a little tighter on Lou when he does return. We'll see. :shrug:

Yeah sure. And how many chances does John get before it becomes permanent.

John, (Thread Destroyer}, Barton.
 
guess Lou had some behind the scenes activity

John has been banned far more times than anyone that hasn't got the big hammer dropped on them. It are what it are.

Lou's banning seems a bit odd. Posting for Mike L seemed like it drew a warning at most from Mike H and Mike H indicated in the same post that Mike L was free to come back. Free to come back means ban over to me.

According to Mike H's post Mike L is no longer banned. Genuinely confused, seems like both ends were played against the middle to ban Lou unless there were private communications from Lou to Admin or Mod that got Lou in trouble. ??? Perhaps Lou was banned after the fact for past activities when some other person or people cried privately ???

Who knows? Life in the big city.

Let it go.

I am one of the few people that dislikes how JB acts but he is no longer with us nor can he defend himself since he is not here.
