Tater has always been really good at one thing that I saw. He is good at knowing how much weight he needs or how much he can give and win. He gets backers to bet high and wins a lot. Not because is the best player but because he knows how good both himself and his opponent play. Many people over rate their own game and Tater has a good eye for it.
He can play a little too, usually good enough to get the cheese. Wonder how his match with Big Bobby turned out?

That the man. He's no dummy either. Sure, he's been known to take risk. Then again, he's a gambler.

we form opinions based on really a very short time.
No dog in this fight although I seem to remember tater being tangled up in the great quarter controversy or something else with scooter in that time frame.
What I wanted to point out is that we all form an opinion about someone and if we like them or not in a very short time. Two regulars in the same pool room may have known each other for several years or more but how long have they interacted with each other? Maybe a dozen hours or less but they would swear they know the person well.
I have known many a small time crook or swindler that never did me wrong. Also know some great God fearing Christians that people put on a pedestal that have burned me. Perhaps the best friend I ever had was a killer and psychopath. He did a lot of people wrong. He burned me for $2500 when we first met, then made another deal that set that right.
Unless we spend a lot of time with someone for months or years we really are judging them on a small snapshot of their lives. What we say about them is the truth and based on our experience. What someone else says is probably the truth based on their experience with the person.
It is silly to fight when someone else has a different impression of someone than we do. Several of my best friends have a totally opposite impression of a pro player than I do. I'll stick by my impression, they will stick by theirs. It doesn't affect our friendships in any way.
People can disagree about a person and nobody be wrong. Just a matter of perspective.

Very true Hue.
As usual, good post.
I like tater. He's never done anything to me...then again, I'm not easily took...so to speak.
Jeff
True.
I typed out a response explaining my self and then went on an "editing spree" and accidentally deleted that post.
Hopefully Rake will edit his posts and it will all disappear.
Meant to post this right after SA but it didnt.
I watched JoJo Cole beat Tater in a high stakes match in Bham about 12 years ago.
post timing
I would have deleted that post rather than hitting enter if I had seen your post that hit the forum six minutes before. Timing can be funny!

Should be a sticky
Anyone remember when Tedder played a top woman player at the time at the DCC a few years ago, getting the 7...He's hype and running out, gets to the 7 and its straight in the corner, between the side and the corner. The cue ball is about 2 feet away. He takes a break, comes back and wham...shoots it straight into the rail lol :thud: Game over
I vaguely remember that. The car wash deal. I wasn't aware scooter had a pal.
Wasn't that the deal where went to the pool hall and wanted to gamble the sack of quarters against somebody's paper money?
I was not there but, I had several friends that lost a good deal on that match.....hehehe...
Two of those people were very good friends. I tried my best to get them to not get in that action......
One of the losers in that deal reminds me of it EVERY TIME I say I gonna make a trip to play tater.... I always laugh and tell him, most situations are only dangerous because you are unaware.
Be aware of your surroundings and all is good. Just comes with experience I guess.

Do any of you remember seeing JRB on TV. ?
He was on Survivor - Season 15. They voted him out early thinking he was a poker player and can't trusted lol
Here is a video clip of the show https://youtu.be/xeRpCq-tomo
