In respect of the Rob thebighurt/Orcullo money match.
I see two people that are wrong here to a point where both should be embarrassed.
First, there is Dennis Orcullo, he got pulled into a handicapped mismatch and when he realized it he bailed at the first opportunity and did it without grace, without maturity and without dignity. Saying that, I reject the notion that breaking down the cue was sharking, I believe that Rob knows the truth of that.
Secondly, there is Rob, aka thebighurt, who rather than recognize the genuine offer made by Jay Helfert in post #47 as a sincere gesture on behalf of a friend, whose actions he clearly indicated were not defensible, he decided to reject this out of hand; becoming more mean spirited, making uncalled for personal comments, as the conversation progressed.
It is clear that Rob decided to be the “offended” party, hard done by etc. so he could keep on carping ad nauseum about how he had played the BEST MONEY PLAYER IN THE WORLD (his words) and bested him ( intended, I guess by the number of times he repeated it to mean he now holds that title). Maybe he felt that he could get more mileage out of it by rejecting Jay’s offer and attacking him personally for making it. It certainly gave him the opportunity to repeat himself and if he had accepted this goodwill gesture in the spirit it was intended I guess he feared he would no longer be the offended party and he might not be able to keep repeating how he had bested the best money player in the world.
Oh, and insofar that bravado B.S. from Rob that he would play Orcullo, with the same spot for 20 in the key of G, I say now that he has shown his true speed he should man up and negotiate a spot that is fair for both of players then have at it. Rob has already admitted that the spot used for the prior match was one sided so let us see what he is really made of playing with a fair spot, this newly, self inferred BEST MONEY PLAYER IN THE WORLD.
