Pool At Fatboy's

vagabond said:
Any one who knows little bit about pool will not think that the promoter is out there to make a fortune.many do promote pool out of love towards that game. In general Promoters either loose money in pool or make enough to be able to eat at Wendys or pizzahut and pay the rent on their residence .there are few exceptions like- the owners APA pool league,Don macky etc.
so don`t worry no body is going to think that you are there for money.


nobody has ever made the rent on my residence in pool ever,

seriously, i just am in it for the love of doing it

I'm CALLING OUT FATBOY!!!!

I'm gonna be going to Vegas in another 60 days or so. Wanna play a race to 11. If I win, I get to ride the lambo up and down the highway for a little. If I lose, I buy dinner at Cafe Chloe or something like that.


ahahaaaa that's classic, and spider if you're planning on making it to dcc, you are cordially invited to the funniest and most fun game of Monopoly ever played. I'm as excited to play Fatboy in Monopoly as I am in winning the Bank Pool Tourney(yup I said it, although 1 and done is exponentially more probable). Eric no doubt has the real life Park Place and Boardwalk but for one evening, if the rolls go my way, it shall all be mine muahahah lol

I've played once in a couple years and it was over the holidays at my lady's sisters house. There were 4 of us who played and I went out 1st while my girlfriend went ahead and won. It was the first time she had ever played Monopoly. I'm not kidding. It's going to be a blast :rotflmao1:

it was great, that problem i had is solved now(thank god) so i'm ready when you are, please bring your mom and dad during the day to see the property.

Coery is right, i can and am doing some things here for pool, i'm going to help some "Pro's" make $$$ here too-not just action-leave it at that for now. But I'm doing everything I can to put $$$ in the pocket of players/pro's and generate interest in pool with kids. I asked mike about the boys club and he is going to do a show for them, we have to work out a schedual but he offered. I will make a formal announcment. He is just the best, he is a better man than his stroke is and how good is that??? wow.

i have been triple blessed and worked hard too, now its slowly taking shape and comming to life here at casa de fatboy, I was thinking about it and I have had some "important" people in pool here in the past year, Bartrum, JA, Mike Massy, Corey Harper, Johnny Morra, louis ulrich, Ronnie Allen, Max, Mark Griffen, Jay Helfert, Kirkwood, Greg Sullivan, scott Gracio(cue maker), harry plaitis, the Benke family, Mike Deschaine, robert Lablanc, Mars(pool hall junkies), JCIN (Tar), brad Simpson(Cue Blue Book), another 15-20 AZers and more who I cant think of cause i'm busy right now. But its been cool to meet these guys and get to know them all. all in less than a year! wow
Awesome...This all will be a good movie some day..Go Fatboy !!!:)
 
Back To Reality

Well I made it back to cold & snow after a 3 hour delay. I arrived home after 3AM.

The last two nights I spent at Fatboy's house playing Max and Fatboy. It's hard to seperate all the poker tournaments & gambling from my past Vegas trips, but my time spent at Fatboy's I will never forget. Max & I played so many races to 7 that I don't remember how many, but I remember winning a free one 7-6, and one gambling 7-2. He probably let me win, but it made my trip.

Eric has talked about doing something big for pool, and I really think he is the man for the job. He has a great business sense and his passion for the game is as strong as anyone I've ever met. I wish we could have played more, but his back was getting pretty bad.

Eric, if you hold an event I would love to be involved. I'll fly there, pay all my expenses, and do anything from being a referee to cleaning up when its over. It would be my pleasure, and I wouldn't accept a dime.

Thanks again for the best time in Vegas I've ever had.
 
Sounds like he has a great "man cave" or should it be called "The Fat Cave". I would love to play with Mike Massey just because you can tell just how much he loves pool. He seems like the type of person that would be more than happy to show you things for hours and enjoy every minute of it. The Bucktooth Slayer sounds like he is a great host.

*hint hint* If you ever wanna open a pool hall on Lake Norman I'd be more than happy to be your manager lackey ;) lol
 
Hey Fatboy since I'm out of work how about you hire me to come start those cars for you once a day:D :D . That way they don't have any problems because they sat for so long.:thumbup: :thumbup:

I still offer to be Fast Lenny's stand in if you can't get together:D :D .

Ok now that my dreaming is over I hope someone like yourself does something to help pool soon.

Soon, as in Derby City soon. Fatboy is adding $4,000 out of his pocket to the Fatboy Challenge Ten Ball event. I couldn't tell you how many players he has staked and "helped" otherwise already. To the tune of tens of thousands of dollars! Yes, I said TENS of thousands he has put in the pocket of several top players, whose names will not be revealed here.

The guy has been a Godsend in their lives when times got tough. And he did it without fanfare and completely privately. I hope he doesn't mind me mentioning it here. Too late now. :sorry:

Oh, and I've got him stuck a couple hundred myself. :)

I specifically said Karen Corr. No one else was mentioned for this bet. I happen to like her game in tournament play the most.

I'm not sexist, I just believe this is a fact. I'll make the same bet for Karen only. If Karen plays a player on my list we can bet on each match? Do you want to bet on the 9 ball event only? The list I posted was quick and I can get a list to you. We can do it cheap if you want, this might be a fun way to sweat the tournament at DCC. I should limit the number of bets you can win to 2 since that is all I can win, but I will bet up to 3 sets with players on my list (this gives you 1.5:1 odds on the money from the gate.

Remember I said that she would beat 33 of these players, not half. But I'll make that bet anyway.


Here is a link to the thread where I made a list of the top 99 men. I edited it today to replace one name since the post even said I would give you a confirmed list just prior, but if you like I will put it back (substituted Gallego for Davenport). And if so how much per?

Friendly offer as always Jay.

I don't see anyone on that list she can beat. :eek:

Okay, if she plays a 9-Ball match against any of your suckers, oops I mean players, we can bet $20. Bring the list with you please. I can't remember all of them, but I can remember all my players. :rolleyes:

I am still waiting Fatman! :cool:
Eric, it looks like I need to swing by Casa de Fatboy, throw you in the car and drive you to AZ to matchup with Lenny. People are starting to think you're a scaredy little fraidy cat. We can't have that, now can we?:D
