Save all that horsecrap that starts when the guy says you can't quit..."you have to give me a chance to win my money back."
Um, if i am collecting after every game, and the money is in my pocket, IT'S MY MONEY and i can do whatever the hell i want with it.
like i said your a nit.SUPERSTAR said:un oh, i offended the big gambler.![]()
Please spare me the details.
Not all of us are geared to "play till you die" like you.
For some of us, stamina is a mysterious thing that is ever elusive, so that whole play without any breaks/last man standing pissing contest type of scenario isn't even an option.
If you want your sessions to be a stamina contest, that's fine.
But if someone has crappy stamina, and doesn't like to play while they are out of gas, they can do what they want. There isn't any law.
Just cause you have your terms that you gamble by, doesn't mean that they are the correct terms for everyone, and that everyone has to abide by them.
Just set the criteria before you play, and there really should be no sorts of problems as to who quits when.

watchez said:Pool and poker are compared a lot of times - how come in poker, no one is chastised for getting up from the table and quitting winner? Once in awhile someone might say to the person leaving, 'Hey it is still early' or whatever but no one at a poker table really makes it a big issue.
Is it because poker is not a one vs one game (well not normally) so one person quitting with another player ready to fill the sit makes it a non issue?
yes its one on one.watchez said:Pool and poker are compared a lot of times - how come in poker, no one is chastised for getting up from the table and quitting winner?

the "young" player came into the "shortstops" regular room and told the "shortstop" he wanted to play just 1 set for 2500, not 1 2 or 3. He said one.

Doug said:There is a well heeled businessman in my area (30 miles away) who loves to play pool and plays very good but not good enough to beat any good shortstops or pros and has routinely lost 5 figures. Jack Cooney can attest to this. At the room where I play a couple of road players stopped in and inquired about him and said they planned to set him up for a big score. Unknown to them his brother in law was in the room also and overheard their talk and called to make his brother in law aware of the setup. Their strategy was to let him win the first set and then raise the bet, as per usual. A few days later they were back upset and talking about what a nit the guy was and said he had no gamble, and called him a lot less than honorable names. Almost all of their money was gone. They had made an offer to play for $5K but the informed mark said he didn't play that low and raised it to $10K. According to their plan he won the set but unexpectidly he quit. What do you think about that? Was he a nit? Should he have continued to play and lose a lot of money to them or give them their money back?
