Ok, no point in prolonging this. Congrats to Chris and you on his win vs Dechaine. I always respected his gamble & sorry he took offense to me saying he was overrated. He plays great just not as great in my mind as others think. He proved me wrong - again. It shouldn't matter what I think, I am just a nobody trying to have fun. Saying he was overrated was not meant as an insult - I just want to be clear on that. If he took it that way, I do apologize. I know, I know - the next comment will be : If Chris is overrated, why not come to Ohio to play him. Again, I never said Chris played bad, just think that his gear is not as high as many think. Guess I have caught him on bad days or heard results of games that he should have won, until he played Dechaine. (Giving Carl the 5 and break and not winning for example. Many players ranked lower than Chris have come thru and won at that game). Maybe that is part of his hustle.
Anyways, also understand that us not wanting to go to Ohio is what makes a player like Justin a different breed of pool player. Most players would still be trying to justify going to Chris' home town to play in that atmosphere. But when Justin called me & told me of the new offer, he immediately said that he was not going. I didn't even have to say it myself. That shows a lot of respect that he has for others that have done him right. Besides, the kid turns 21 next month and might be too hungover for weeks afterwards to play any pool.
