Jeanette and Calcutta?

it was an abc tourney and the only thing wrong is that she dumped an entire tournament because somebody at a small tourny didnt get starstruck.

thanks for clarifying the abc tourney part, but unless you are the guy who bought her in calcutta or you were present to hear all the exchanges btwn him and JL then you dont KNOW thats what happened either. None of us on this board will ever know for sure. and i still reserving judgment until some has JL's story, which prolly isnt likely since all we seem to like to do on this board is bash the pro's. if we treated pros better here we could prolly get her side right from her.

I think this all sounds like Bull*&%^ to me. I don't even need to hear both sides of the story. As well as I knowJ I am giving her the benefit of the doubt. She is an ambassador for the sport and a lover of the game. She always carries herself well and is firm and fair when it comes to business. If you are lucky enough to be her friend she will do anything she can for you and more.

lol, so you are saying that the two people that were actually there and saw it first hand are lying?

Personally, if any player,Jeanette or otherwise, came up to me after the tourney had already started and they had won a few matches and asked to buy half of themselves I would laugh.

If that means they are going to forfeit then so be it. I don't need the money anyway and its well worth it that they don't even get the satisfaction of trying to win the tourney at that point.

1. Are you saying she arrived to the tournament late, Had not played a match, and then went and asked for half of herself?

2. or are you saying she didn't buy half of herself after the calcutta, Played some matches, Got close to the money and then asked for half of herself?

If #1 then she has an automatic option to take half.

If #2 then she was clearly wrong for askin for half after getting one match away from the money.

I would not have given her half of herself either if she waited 4 or 5 matches in to ask for half. That's a move and a half.... Wait and see if you do well before asking for half in the calcutta. Get real..

and what a p.o.s. to forfeit her match when the guy said no.. Assuming she didn't want to take half of herself until playing a bunch of matches that is.

Which is the way I read is considering the player has an automatic option to buy half after the calcutta is over...

that pretty much sums up the way I feel about it as well. If she waited until later in the tournament, after seeing how she fared to ask to buy half, she's wrong. But if she wanted to buy half early on, before matches started, then that's well within her right, and she did nothing wrong. We'll never hear both sides of the story, so I'm not really going to put much stock into this one way or another. It's only going to hurt the sport if people start speculating about things that they weren't there to witness or weren't a part of.
 
i totally agree, shes in the right if the tourny hasnt started yet, but this was 9 hours after the calcutta, when shes in the semis on the winners side when she asks for herself.

If anyone cared enough I think it could easily be found out.

There should have been a decent amount of people watching and one could always call this APA director and ask if she forfeited.

Either way, I don't really care. but I do think it's pretty foul if what is being said is the truth.

By the way are you Monica Webb? Doesn't matter to me just asking.

yeah josh, thats monica webb.
 
Why is it so hard to believe that she would do something like that?

You have the word of the person who bought her in the calcutta. He has no reason to lie and is a very credible person.

Let's hear Willie chime in he hangs out with her.
 
doubt the accuracy of this

I heard she got the tournament late and some guy bought her in the calcutta for $150 (not sure if that's the exact amount). She got was one match away from the money and went to go talk to the guy about buying half herself. The guy apparently got an attitude and told her he wanted to keep it all. She broke down her cue and forfeited.

Sounds like a $150 lesson to me.

i think the lesson is not to believe everything you read. i consider jl as a great friend and is fair, honest, generous, moral, kind to everyone i have seen her interact with including myself. i won't even dignify this by asking her about this as i am totally confident this is an inaccurate portrayal of what did or did not happen; the hell with her image concern!!!!!!! she is a quality person.
 
"i won't even dignify this by asking her about this as i am totally confident this is an inaccurate portrayal of what did or did not happen"

ROFLMAO

Glad you're not a juror in a case. So you don't want the facts, but you are confident this is not the way it happened.

Where do you see the word of the person who bought her in the calcutta? Name the post, and name the person.

How do you know he is credible?

The only names I see as being close to this are CLOLSON, a guy who has posted 30 times in 3 years, and 1PocketMike, who has 20 posts in 3 years. Are they the credible ones you are referring to?

I see no first-hand evidence in this thread. It is all "my friend told me" stuff.

This is why the professional players don't post here.

Ok, here's the point:

There are still no tangible facts being presented here. You are anonymous. Nobody knows who you are. I don't care if you have 30 posts or 30,000 posts, you are making serious accusations against a pro and you're still in the closet.

Your "best friend" in the calcutta is anonymous. Nobody has mentioned his name. And as far as I can tell he's the only source of information for this entire thread, which is second-hand. It sounds like you weren't even there, and are just believing his side of all of this.

I'm not saying that this didn't happen, but it's real easy to take pot-shots from the shadows. Give us some real facts.

I have no reason to doubt Clolson's word, but I will continue to hold judgement until more information is exposed and verified.

Sometimes things aren't always as they appear. It is very possible of some misunderstandings from one or both parties. People are too quick to judge on these "tabloid" forums.

I would be very surprised to find out this is the true about Jeanette. I'm sure in time the truth will surface.

i totally understand where you are coming from, i dont feel its my place to give out his name, keep ur eye on this thread tho.
 
"one match away from the money" - nowhere near before her first match

The fact is she forfeited because of the calcutta. The only thing in question is why she did it. Even the few people I talked to that were in the tourney don't know exactly why she did it.
 
Jamey Martin said:
You dont get 1 match from the cash and then decide to buy 1/2....... She has been around long enough to know that !!!!!!!!

Not very professional of her either.....

Yeah, this is a fact. Most players when bought in a calcutta ask after the calcutta is over and before the tournament begins to buy half of themselves, not play a bunch of the event, end up one match out of the money, and then ask the guy to sell half after it looks like you are going to make it into the money.

She basically made the guy sweat most of the event with all the whole $150 at risk on him alone, got close, and then expects him to give her half after he took most of the risk? I can guarentee you that had she lost out of the event before the money she is not going to walk up and give him half of his losses because she was planning on buying half of herself.

What she did would be considered poor class for ANY player at ANY level to pull, it is not fair to the guy who bought her for him to have to take all the risk until the money is close and then suddenly be forced to split the winnings when it looks like the money is coming in.

Very very weak play by a pro that knows full well that is not the way things are done.
 
There are still those out that have such a high opinion of her that even if she said she left because of the calcutta they wouldn't believe her.

I bought a player once (cheap. very cheap) He did not want to buy half of himself. He ended up winning me a chunk of cash so I tipped him anyway. After all he did all the work.

It is very possible that JL would have got thrown a jelly roll had she not went and played her cards in this manner.

I am apt to believe the story as coming from those that were there. They have put it out there on a very public forum, it was a very public tournament with alot of people in attendance that would have seen the interactions, and noone that was present is coming here to refute the story.

If I were a friend of hers like some guy above mentioned I would certainly be telling her about this thread so that she could come here and defend herself and give her side of the story it is is truly not as stated here. I can only assume the person above is not so much a "friend" as much as a starstruck fan that has associated with her a couple of times because a true "friend" would most definately bring this up and can speak honestly and up front about something like this. A starstruck fan? They would not.
 
i was there>>>>here's what happened,she was there on time dont anyone believe that b.s.she gets all the way out to the finals on the winner side then tries to buy half herself and the guy said no i have all of you and she uncorked and went home!!!she was trying to move on the guy and didnt get away with it so she gets mad and leaves!!! how's that for class from the blackwidow?
