Lesson learned. Some times when you stand up to a bully. They take your lunch money for the next 3 years.
Maybe someone sang "Soft Kitty" to John and now he feels better?

John Barton makes and sells cue cases. Thats how he feeds his family. He does not have the time to get in the 10,000 hours to be a pro like Lou. It was a great match John brought many ideas some good and some bad. Lou played well within himself and took down the prize.
If Lou is considered a pro, I just figured out what is really wrong with pool.
Sorry Lou, couldn't resist...

Both Lou and John were pretty direct with each other regarding the match today on 1p.org.
Don't know either of them apart from this forum, but if I saw Lou at the bar in the Riv I would buy him a beer and chat about pool.

Not if he's still saying such crazy things as:
"I would ask you to play again but we both know that the answer will be no. If by some miracle the answer is yes then we will post the entire amount and play in a room with no one but you and me and a camera. It will be a ten ahead match.
My friend stands ready with 10k to back me and I stand ready with another 10k to back myself as soon as you and Mike Liesomemore can figure out if you want to dance again.
If you want to come over the top and make a higher offer go ahead."

That's funny all we heard about was how much pool he was playing ,, I was think god does this guy ever work ,, one thing we learned for sure all that practice never made him any better

Lou has written about his adventurous One Pocket match with JB. JB has indicated he would respond with his insight. I have not seen it. Has it been written?
