The document of our pool related road trip across the U.S. updated daily

The purpose of this thread is all things pool. The witch hunters can start their own thread and argue about amongst the two of them. I think lot of other people on here like the stories. And the attacks and name change is very immature and unwarrented.

is hustling not in the category of all things pool? if there was another player goin around wearing disguises to look different while hustling pool u don't think it'd be considered about pool or anyone would report it on this site?

Because telling someone they have a fetish and sexual perversion because they question transgenders playing women and your references to sexual craigslist adds aren't immature and unwarranted.
 
Unless everyone is on the up and up. If people know and then match up there are no problems.

So you and RichieRich have appointed yourselves the saviors of all those who will be taken advantage of by Rhea? It isn't like she's the second coming of Allison Fisher. I fail to understand your logic. There are plenty of female players out there that could take 99% of the male players in the world apart. Were I evaluating somebody in order to wager correctly, I'd be a whole lot more interested in seeing their stroke and watching them play versus grabbing their crotch. That's just me, perhaps the two of you swing a bit differently. dorabelle is what we always named our cows back on the farm. Are you a cow? Or just an udder moron?

Are you trying to fight me? lol
 
Fight you? I don't hit females and prefer to avoid a battle of wits with mental inferiors.

Oh I thought you did. The story about what you did with your cow on the farm was super witty and showed great mental prowess. Youre amazing. Whats your IQ just out of couriosity?
 
Met my match last night. Played the manager of Randolph's in Hickory, NC races to 7 for $100 a set. At on time early in the morning she had me down by 2 sets. I kept grinding it out playing my absolute best pool game and eventually we broke even by 10 AM. It was an 11 hour all out marathon.

She really plays well. I did find out she has played with some of the WPBA pros and even played stronger than she does now back then.

Here is a list of the locations that Gene and I will be in case you are interested in matching up or taking a lesson during these time-frames:

Nov 16th-17th Bulldogs Billiards - Albermarle, NC
Nov 18th-19th Smokin' Cue or Elizabeth Billiards - Charlotte, NC
Nov 20th-26th Gate City Billiards - Greensboro, NC
Nov 27th-Dec 10th Diamond Billiards - Midlothian, VA
Dec 11th-22nd Brickyard Billiards - Indianapolis, IN
Dec 23rd-30th Altoona, WI
Dec 31st-Jan 7th Faribault, MN
Jan 8th-14th 6 Pockets - Decator, AL
Jan 15th-22nd J.O.B.s (Music City Open)- Nashville, TN
Jan 23rd-Feb 1st Horseshoe Casino (Derby City Classic)- Elizabeth, IN
Feb 2nd-5th Brickyard Billiards - Indianapolis, IN
Feb 6th-18th Pockets - Dothan, AL
Feb 19th-26th Trick Shots Billiards - Clifton Park, NY
Feb 26th-Mar 11th Snookers Pool Lounge - Providence, RI
Mar 11th-18th Super Billiards Expo - Edison, NJ

You should be able to find all the action you want at pockets. That's my home room. That's where scotty townsend plays. im sure he'll play you some

I think that Clayton's insistence that Richie had a fetish and was sexually dysfunctional is disgusting. I don't know what his/her problem is but his posts were soaked in rage.

This question about Rhea has been circulating for months. If it turns out that Rhea is entering gender specific tournaments and is not of that gender, its a criminal act, IMO. And Johhnyt is right. In practical terms, if Rhea hustles another women for big money and is discovered, someone could get hurt, badly.

Now, this isn't about passing judgement. It's about honesty. And if each and every time you meet someone in life, and your initial encounter is fraudulent, then that person should seek counseling. There's nothing wrong with being transgendered. Other than the Neanderthals within our society, most people have moved past homophobia and bigotry. But there is something wrong with being a duplicitous, chronic, deceiver.

cheating and possibly rule-breaking, yes. criminal, probably not.

It's interesting how pool fans, like us here on az, in very large part, think it's clever for someone to change their look to get an edge in matching up, yes hustling. Admit it, when we read about such stories, it amuses us. books about or from Kid Delicious, Jay, The Beard, Bobby Cotton, The Hustler, COM, we eat it up. The vast majority of us do, anyway. And, this type of activity is a big part of our sports history.

Personally, I don't believe anyone should cheat their way into an event, whether it's to do with them being the wrong gender or lying about their age in a kids or senior event , etc, etc, however, and interestingly, I have no issue whatsoever with someone trying to match up in pool halls using whatever ruse they care to.

I think that for those of us who like to play for money, it's squarely on us to make sure we're getting into a fair game. There is an art to matching up and game making and you have to know who you're about to do battle with, to the extent that you can. anyone playing for cash has to be keenly aware that hustling exists, right?

Those who are so offended over Rhea either dressing up as, or actually trying to become a woman, maybe you should do a little self-evaluation regarding your possible sexual hangups and prejudices.

I mean, how is this really different than the guy we laughed about who sits around the bar wearing some well used painters coveralls trying to project that image in order to get an edge in getting a game?

And this even assumes that Rhea is trying to do a hustle or that she is a man, which I don't have the answers to either of these..

best,

Tonight Gene played tremendously well, the exercise and pure discipline in monitoring his blood sugar, and eating healthy is paying off.

I got to witness pure genius as Gene played flawless as the highest rating in the GSBT tournament in a field of approx 25 players with a couple other 11s besides Gene. Gene was the winner of the hotseat even playing races to 11 with people who only had to go to 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 9. He ended up winning 1st place tonight for $500 and we got half of him in the calcutta as well for even more.

To top off the night I ended up getting 5th place and got to meet Shannon the Cannon. Shannon even shared his hot wings with me.

I drew Gene my first match and I lost hill-hill and got 5th fighting my way through the losers bracket only to lose to the 4th place winner Cheryl Pritchard who travelled from Chesapeake to play the event.
 
Seems to me that there are a lot more players than 25 in most of GSBT. Any top players there/ Johnnyt
 
If she is a man and beats some woman out of big money and the woman is being staked by some guy it will not end well one day. Johnnyt

Hey Johnnyt, don't I remember you saying that you dressed up as a girl to hustle pool?

Was it for profit or pleasure? :D
 
nope, 1 week in the room, no shooting pool for me, no eating junk food, gonna just be on the internet on facebook and azbilliards, maybe watch some tv... Watching the matches costs me money, i know where my bankroll stands and how much we have invested in this tournament. This whole week is boiling down to genes performance, i just hope by next year i will be good enough to cash in this event so that i don't feel like i'm wasting time here.

how long have you been playing pool??

Those who are so offended over Rhea either dressing as woman or actually trying to become a woman while still a man, maybe you should do a little self-evaluation regarding your possible sexual hangups and prejudices.

An EXCELLENT and well thought out post, as usual!JoeyA

No it wasn't. What he failed to mention is the biological differences between a man and a woman, and that all major sporting leagues have separate leagues for men and women. Why is that? Are you telling me the women of the wnba can play in the nba with the men? Yeah right. You people are just looking for a bad guy. It's not your fault though, it's what simple minds have been taught. Never be scared of the truth.
 
Our plans just changed, we are heading to Wisconsin and will not be back until the Midlothian event on Dec 7th.

Anyone that wants to talk about this should be in another thread. She started this thread to tell everyone about her new pool life. This has been her dream for a long time.

Richie is just plain been mean spirited and calling her Ray and making accusations with no facts. Dora I understand your position on what you are arguing but you guys have no idea where she comes into play in your scenario. She obviously is ignoring all of you. So again the hateful crap coming from Richie has no place on AZ anywhere. The conversation the other people are having Dora, Brian, etc just belongs in another thread as you have no info if it fits here at all. A couple of comments and no denial to not constitute your right to come to your own conclusion and derail her thread.

Yes I prob was wrong firing back at him the way I did but he was being a Keyboard Killer and just flat out ignorant. AND I have known her a long time as we all in St.Louis do and take if someone attacked a friend of yours you would do the same.
 
I wish some people here would lay off Rhea. She's done nothing to deserve the excessive heat. Geez, let her have at it, it's a free country. She's hurting NO ONE and taking advantage of no one. IMO (of coarse).
