Jeanette and Calcutta?

Didn't Saint Jeanette get into a game at the DCC in which it was a total steal?

Why is this all so hard to believe. Cause she's a woman? Because she said hi to some of you in an elevator at one time?

The people in the know all live here in Indiana, not just see her at a WPBA event and get an autograph.

Isn't it funny? If I were to publish some of the true crap that I know on MOST of the top American players, someone would assasinate me. It's about money, folks. After years of accustoming themselves that it's the player vs. the world and take what you can get before being got, that attitude is instilled in most "true" road players. By road players, this includes pros, and people that make their food money from pool.

I'm pretty sure if this happened, that Jack and Brian won't let her play in any of their events, til she at least pays the guy. Most of the events, and smaller tours, had a rule that if you forfeit out of the tourney after you lose once, you gotta pay whoever bought you all their money or you're barred for life, {or til you payed up}....

That still sucks for him tho, because he was about to turn a profit.

I've heard of guys waiting in big tourneys til they get close to the calcutta money, then telling the guy who bought them that he HAS TO GIVE THEM HALF, or they will dump the rest of the tourney.

u know as well as i do that jack is stuck up her ass and everyone bows down to her like god.....she will continue to play in any tourny that they have...be real!!!
 
Well she did have a trick shot show to do at the Boat Sport and Travel show.

She even shot that one where you line up 4 balls near the side and make them in 4 different pockets, truly an amazing feat to watch, I was on pins and needles.
 
its funny how everyone that is actually in Indiana are all saying the same thing....coincidence?:cool:

Wow, somebody who is an eyewitness?
And who are you, or do just go by Hoss22 and anonymously attack pro's?
 
He goes by Hoss because he is 6'5" 340, so it's kinda fitting.


I still would like to hear from Willie, surely he can add something to this.
 
It's not coincidence at all, those who are local and see a person on a daily basis have a much more objective view of their true nature. Sounds like this was an ego driven bad call by JL, but I'm not going to condemn her over it. I don't have any kind of relationship with her on a personal basis so all I know of the woman is what I've seen with my own eyes and rumor based knowledge from others, which I don't put much faith in. Either way, none of us have a right to "judge" her as a person, but as far as this instance is concerned, I'd have to go with my instinct that it did happen and it was a bad choice on her part. Oh well, the human nature of a "pool player" wins out again and shows it's ugly head. Haven't we all done things out of our own character at inopportune times that we later regreted? I know I have...

For those of you who, like me, don't have a close interpersonal relationship with Jeanette Lee...read this next statement very closely...

The higher you place your icons on a pedestal, the further their fall will be! None of us are perfect, so quit trying to defend a stranger on a subject that you have no direct knowledge of. We are all just humans anyway. Jeanette's problem is that she has attained a "celebrity" status within our sport and therefore she should expect to be under the microscope whether it be on her home court or any other venue she plays in. It's not easy being in the public eye and I'm sure noone who posts here would invite their fellow AZers into their closets to check out their skeletons. Some of us have fricken graveyards in our closets! :)

P.S.
My real name is Sam Waltz, I live in Springfield, Missouri and I play outta Springfield Billiards folks! Sorry, but I'm not gonna give out my SSN or anything, but if you've got an alias instead of your real name then quit hackin' on a guy who also has an alias for his profile!

I bought her the tourney before last, she had no problem buying half of herself back. i bought her in the calcutta for $140.00 and she immediately paid the half; so it makes it hard to believe that she did not want to buy herself back in this tournament. i was not there of course but i cant see her doing something like that.
 
it would be nice to get some response

As image-conscious and promotion-savvy as she must be; I am surprised she doesn't at least lurk around AZB....and I would guess that she would want to know that this alleged incident(?) was being talked about... Did someone say that there is maybe 10,000 people who read these threads? I am really surprised that she may have done something like this....This kind of thing (questioning one's character or making certain accusations) seems to be happening more prevalently of late; I guess it doesn't take much to throw mud and dirty one's reputation on the web.....

Good ideas, Sam, but I'm going to stick with my insticts and not convict Jeanette based on innuendo and hearsay.

I already said that I didn't know whether this happened or not, but there's an awful lot of people in this thread that are ready to crucify her without all the facts.

I almost always buy half of myself too. But on occasion, I don't like the risk to reward part, and tell them no. I believe the original part said she wanted to wait and see how much was in the calcutta. Not taking sides, but I'm still waiting to see who else was there, and has first hand knowledge. I know quite a few of the players at those events. Most are pretty trustworthy as far as info goes.

Am I wrong, or were they down to the semi's? If so, I'm pretty sure she had an idea of who was there by then.

Like a couple people stated the tournament was for A B and C players. I have heard lots of people just say C tournamnet thinking everyone will know what it is. As for the $150 buy in the calcutta, everyone there knows her and she will most likely not get the outrageous celebrity price. There are a few players that go for more than her in the calcutta over there, hell about 4 years ago or so I was at the APA state tournament over there and the first 3 players in the 7's tournament went for a total of $3000 I think.
 
Yea

What I meant was how much it would pay back. The post said she wanted to see how much was in the calcutta before she decided.
I shouldn't be working and posting at the same time. Makes my mind wander off to somewhere, when I find it, I'll edit that post. LOL.....

It is not hearsay if the person relating a event is an actual eye witness dipshit. The whole definition of hearsay is a person relating something they "Heard", not something they actually witnessed themselves and Hoss said himself "I was there" so it is thus by frickin definition NOT hearsay. The bloody word itself is it's own definition, you should think for a second before actually using it next time. It happend, she is not the angel you wish she was, get over it and stop trying to attack people who were actually there and know a hell of alot more about the event then you do.
 
Well

I think I know who Hoss is, and if I'm right, I don't think he'd say it if it wasn't true. He'd be someone I'd trust.
