Looking for Action

No Problem

I don't have any idea how you play, SOOOO you got action. I'll find out quick enough if I have a chance. See, I'm not afraid to take a chance. Race to Eleven for $100. Okay?

Jay,
I have no idea how you play either? Isn't that why they call it gambling? Race to 11 for $100 is a deal. I'll probably spend $1K to go to the WPC, considering travel, tickets, hotel, etc. I'll have to win 10 sets to break even.

Believe me, if I was a real player, you would have heard about me by now.

Woof Woof!

Jay, I'm all yours for $50 1P games. You know where to find me.

I do? Where? Is this Charles? I can never keep all the names straight on here. Sorry.

Okay, I finally broke down and made myself practice for one whole week. I have played about 15 hours in the last five days, and I'm starting to feel it again. Eureka, I can still play pool. I'm not just another pretty face anymore.

In case anyone thinks I'm all talk, now is your chance to find out. I play about 8-4 under the top One Pocket players, and probably the best 9-Ballers could give me the 5 ball. Once again I am a shortstop speed player and proud of it.

I am looking for some cheap action around the L.A. area just to get in good stroke. I know I need to play someone now and test myself. Hell, if Billy can still play, why not Jay. He's about a 100 years older than me. :)

I am not looking to play any $1,000 sets yet, just some 40 or 50 a game One Hole or $100 to $200 a set 9-Ball. You might talk me into betting 50 a rack Banks (short rack) or 100 a rack (long rack) Banks. NO ONE in L.A. is barred from playing me Banks. NO ONE! (except Parica).

If you are a very good player, I am not embarassed to ask for weight (Wayne this means you). But I only want a fair game, not the nuts. One Pocket Rich gave me 8-7 and the break a couple of years ago. So that is about my speed. Tang gives me 9-7 and 9-6 when we played.

Most shortstop speed players, I will play even. I know you're out there, just let me know where and when.

Good luck with your quest. When I posted "Old Man Looking For Action" a few months ago, it stirred things up a little, but pretty much with the same old customers, but we did bet a little more and that didn't turn out in my favor. The offers for new games were few and too tough. I wish I could get down to SoCal so we could play some (anything but banks) but do not think I will be coming down anytime soon. Maybe if you get up here to visit Chuck we can try that 8/7 one pocket for $50/$100 a game. I have attached an old article I like to look at from time to time to remind me I really could play a bit at one time. John

Thanks Jef for the offer. I do know who you are, and that you play good. Actually I have several games on the table now, so you'll have to take a place in line. :)

I played some One Pocket with Bamadog last night, and we had a nice little match. A Race to Four, with a friendly little wager. I'll let him tell you how the game worked out. All I will say is that he plays a very strong defensive game. The first game was a real battle. I enjoyed it.

Eight Ball on a bar table is definitely not my first choice, but bar table pool is not totally foreign to me. I may be willing to play you some on good equipment. You are probably a favorite over me at this game, but because I don't know how you play, we can start out even. If you are willing to play for $20 a game, I'll try you some. If I think we are close, we can raise the bet.

I do know where there are some excellent Diamond bar tables in Hawthorne at Mr. Lucky's. I have only played there one time, but I like the equipment. Let me know when you want to come for lunch. With maybe a little pool thrown in.:)
