Looking for $ action

It's amazing how defensive some people get when all I am trying to do is make Antonio's visit profitable for him and myself. Also attempting to generate action in pool rooms on the East Coast.

Your barking up the wrong tree, Huckster. This ain't the way to generate action, on the internet. Its hard to take you seriously.

We now live in modern times where the internet is a tool used to accomplish many tasks. How many towns have you seen known champions go to where they do not get played unless they offer the absolute nuts? This is why some of the best players in the US are struggling to make a living on the tournament circuit because they can not get a game. There are many knowledgable pool people who post and lurk on this board. There are also some very accomplished players. (McCready, Grady, Sarah, etc.) who post here. Antonio has played Grady in the past. The days of showing up in a town as an unknown and busting that town are from days past. The pool detectives on the internet will have a player exposed at once. We are just attempting to cut through the extra crap. We are interested, will anyone else be? Who knows but it is worth a try.

In that case huckster, if Antonio is your player you must give up some weight to most players, unless you play Archer, Immonen, Parica, or Morris. If your near Canada try giving Alex a call. If you would like I would bet on all of these guys over Antonio. You can also get a game with guys like Shannon Daulton, Tony Watson, Eric Durbin, James Welden, Cliff Joyner, Jeremy Jones, Charlie Williams, Amar Kang and John Schmidt if you give them a little weight, some of them may or may not even ask for any. By the way Antonio dont have to win those games especially if you play one pocket, then Antonio can get a little weight. If your champion is so good he can give up weight like Archer, Alex and Parica do, and still get the gold.
 
I dont know why people are getting on Hucksters case. Here we are trying to get all kinds of info about "action" and when a guy comes out and says he has a man that is looking for some gets flak. We should urge this kind of activity. Its not a dare but a simple out front challenge. I for one would like to see long set matches between top players. Tournaments are great but the matches are too short. Races to 7 are a joke. Now if only we could make gambling on these matches legit like they do in the UK the better. Hey we bet on Horses, Dogs, lottery, Poker, why not pool players!. If someone can get a consortium of bettors to back their favorite guy against Lining that would be great for you and me.

TAP TAP TAP!!!

I totally agree with you Yobagua!! I don't understand the fuss. This could be a great tool for putting these top matches together. Wouldn't it be great if we could make this kind of thing somewhat legit so that it could be put together totally up front? I'd pay a lot to see two top players play for the cash. They could match up in different games. Maybe it could be done somewhere like Atlantic City, Nevada or anywhere that gambling is legal. We could get a whole bunch of side betting going on. This could become very big.
 
Thanks Rick. Gambling is legal in every state of our great union except Hawaii. Its just that the politicians have only allowed TAXABLE gambling i.e. Casino's, Horses, etc. We should be able to have it in any Casino on the mainland.

YO-BUDDY, Not nice, GREAT shot. AMEN. Like Rick said, you couldn't be more right on. Give this guy a break. Anyone remember the thread that got pulled when I made a $10,000 challenge to any lady on earth to play Reed Pierce a 10 ahead set. People took it personal when all I was trying to do was create action. Nothing personal about it. That is all Huckster is doing. If you have a player and want to play, contact the guy, if not, just wish your favorite player in the game well. Wake up guys. It's just gambling. Gambling is GOOD. Its fun. Who doesn't like to see top players stretch out for the cash?

Since your man is so good and dont want to give up any weight and everyone must play even, go play Archer, Parica, Busta and Efren. See how he likes it, even. Who is your guy? If he is so good and you are on the internet, looking for a game then say who your backing. There are a lot of guys like Shannon Daulton, Tony Watson, and James Welden who are ready.
Jose Parica is always available and more than willing to bet high and he too prefers long ahead sets. Mika is around NY, Corey Deuel is around Ohio. John Schmidt is always looking a game. A game that you are looking is not hard to get and you dont need the internet to find it, but then again you probably cant run three balls and your player cant run six.
I watched Antonio run 4 racks of 15 ball rotation in 1993 or 1994 in Northridge, CA at the The Billiards Connection. About a week later, he came to the shop and picked up one of my sneaky pete's, and then went on a road trip and cleaned out the East Coast, including several tournaments, including a tournament at Billy Stevens room "The playing Field" in Richmond, that had about 200 players...and I mean world class players. I think he beat Mike Sigel in the finals. He used that cue for several years, and I'm sure won a ton of cheese with it.
Anyway, it ain't a secret he can play!

Hemi,

I didn't know your Peirce Reed challenge post got pulled. I thought that was a great post btw. I would love to see Allison, Karen or Jeanette and of course our favorite female players on this board, Sarah and Melissa, match up with any of the male players for the CASH! I just love to watch some good pool action period!!

Ted,

Seems like you should have gotten a little taste of all that! LOL!! You just about got my credit card out! LMAO!!!
 
Ted,

One more thing. If the Filipinos aren't lining (excuse the pun) up to get some action from Antonio, that should speak volumes!!!

hey huckster

your not looking to gamble...your looking to steal......ask antonio about giving brian groce the wild 6 on the bar table in texarkana about 6 years ago.antonio put down 2 10's in a 2 day period....... and your wanting tony watson to play even????????? in case tony would like to play brian a long ahead set on the bar table he can get 6 to 5 on his money and after brian beats him there brian will play him on the big table.....now if you would like antonio to play the same game with brian...you can win at min $100,000.....so if you are going to talk about gambling please actually make it close to gambling!!!!!!!
