Rack'ems Handicap 9-Ball 1-9-10*Lewisville,Tx*$500 Added Guaranteed*1/4 Field Paid

Ken
I didn't think it was easy I knew it wasn't easy I told everyone I had the worst of the game and I was goin up hill in the game I played and I lost. I played the game because it was action and you bet a decent amount. I know I can't win that game I have no problem in saying that and I know you wouldn't want to adjust since it went hill hill so I just leave it alone. I am not mad in any way shape or form , as you were the better ,man that night.
Thanks for the gentleman's response. It shows a lot of maturity that is often lacking in pool halls. I respect both you and your game. I was never dogging you, nor did I intend my remarks to reflect negatively on you. I was just trying to explain to Zach that it was a fair game, given the way it went down. I know you never complained about it, and you paid up just like I would have if I had lost.

It was Zach's words about "manning up" that upset me, nothing you said. I am sure that was his intent, to inflame the situation and goad me into playing. If he wants to take my offer of a match, then great. If not then I would appreciate it if he would stop saying derogatory things like 'man up".

I have put up my money to play you, Travis, Trey, and many other players. Win or lose I say "thank you" and shake my opponents hand. I never get pissed at my opponent, even if I am sometimes disappointed in my own performance. I expect the same courtesy in return and you definitely handled our match with grace and composure.

There is no bad blood between you and me.
 
My offer still stands

I'm not playing a short race and sorry I don't have your kind of money...If I lose $500 great and if I win and you wanted a shot at getting your money back I would play you again..You know why I'm a little peeved so you can take me up on my offer or I'll have to hit the lottery or get a substantial raise..

No harm no foul, its not my style to do anything like that there is no hard feelings its just action win or lose after a match we are all still friends. Zach will probably play you I guess he was just trying to stir up some action and maybe put it in wrong words.

No problem, we can wait until you hit the lotto.

I don't like 10 ahead matches, or races to 25. They are endurance matches and at my age and weight I would lose. See, I "manned up" and said I would lose in a long race against you, the better opponent. Sometimes "manning up" isn't about stepping up and playing, it's about acknowledging our own weaknesses.

I hope you have a great turnout for the tournament. Sorry to everyone for taking up bandwidth on this thread.
 
I plan on being there... hopefully I can convince TxOnePocket to go this weekend as well.
 
I'll go if zach or roguegambler wanna play some even $500 sets, just some evenly matched billiards between friends.

P.S. I cant loan ya the $20 to play again V!
 
Shaping up to be a fun weekend! lol
Always good times at Crazy 8's, but this is looking like more fun than usual, so think I'll stay in town instead of hitting White Diamonds- as much as I love the drive back home, this may be worth staying put and watching the woofing alone!
Now to get the boys from Sherman and McKinney to drive down and get in on the fun!
 
zach I got a question for you.....Is Viet, Viet from houston? Send me a reply in a private message, so I can respond back to you, I got no idea how to pm....

That's the spirit!:grin-square:
Think I suckered- er, um I mean, talked some league players in Arlington and Ft. Worth into coming up tonight, and spreading the word through the APA crowd....:wink:
And a couple of the OB tour ladies are thinking about attending as well....
Surely there's some players in the Wichita area that want some grudge match action with the Tulsa and OKC boys......:wink: It's not that far of a drive..... I do it all the time!:grin:

It'd be great to see some of the OK guys down here. I'm not a big gambler, but I'm sure they could find some games down here.
