Stop lying. I met you and you had a box of Kleenex at the pool room.
I was just trying to help out though, told ya everyone's noses were running cause they all had colds.

Smash mouth are you trying to say that possibly she he is a transgender?
I was on the road for nearly 9 months, between sep 6th 2013 to May 30th 2014. I was on the road with 5 people at different times as well as solo between all 5 for differing lengths.
Well said marek. I also think geno did the best he could.
It takes discipline to match up correctly and work on your game the right way. It seems rhea couldnt follow the rules.
She did well to get third. And handles the flax around here as good as anyone. Kudos to her.
To me, ultimately, it doesn't matter either. I am a nobody in the pool world and the real world but I do think it is great and admirable that she is brave enough and also able to be the person she wants to be...To me it doesnt matter that Rhea is transgender
Here in the Western BCA the idea of going genderless and playing strictly on Fargorate is being tossed around and will be voted on this month.
I can't think of a legitimate 550 fargo dude that Rhea will ever defeat with play like that video.
Maybe this will be a good thing if we do it? That remains to be seen.
The only opposition seems to be from the Bluehairs who are wise enough to know that once that happens you won't see many if any women on the podium again in any division.

To me it doesnt matter that Rhea is transgender, it wasnt her choice that her brain was born into a male body so I wouldnt bring that fact to the table again and again as some people here tend to do, I am just happy for her that she is now satisfied with her present identity. On the other hand I am basically shocked that Rhea has survived on the road for whole 9 months with such low quality of her game (not speaking about the match itself but about her fundamentals). Either she had quite substantional savings prior to that road trip or she became extremely street-wise/great match-maker (Gene Albrecht influenced Rhea I guess) or the road is not as tough as I though it is. Anyway Rhea had courage (and naivity as well) to go out and try herself and thats more than 95% of people here can say about themselves. This says a lot about Rhea as a human being.
Rhea - find a good instructor (not a good player, good INSTRUCTOR) and work for 6 months exclusively on your fundamentals without playing any tournaments, money matches or friendly games. Do this and your games will jump up several levels. And then you may try the road again if you wish to, you may actually more than survive then.![]()
Why are people so mean on forums?
Well I didn't watch it all, but I watched a big part of it. It's nice to see you both play, after reading your posts for years. I actually enjoy watching amateurs more than pros. IDK why, but I actually got really into it. I shouted at the screen.... I'll finish watching the rest tomorrow.
I'm not going to give you suggestions or pointers on your game because you didn't ask for them, and I know there are plenty more qualified than myself to do so that probably will.
Didn`t you go on the road with a pro a few years ago Rhea?
I`m no expert, but there are some obvious flaws in your fundamentals.
The shot at 1:02 is a good example. Hand, stance, grip (although we can`t see it, it`s clear you are holding the cue hard and at the wrong place) the stroke in itself isn't smooth at all, you don`t stand still and you get up before the shot is over.
Do you ever play straight pool?
Also get rid of the "$50 entry fee, $40 for women" thing if there is any. Just because you are a woman, or someone under 18 does not mean you are automatically special. Base it on skill level. Otherwise every tournament that offers a discount to women just because, is actually promoting sexism.
