The way it really went down

This thread is going no where! One total egomaniac who thrives on all the drama is having the time of his life twisting everyone else in the wind. He is enjoying all the controversy he is stirring up. The question of whether he stiffed anyone (he admitted as much in post 1160) is no longer the issue. The question is how much longer does he want to play this game. I suspect one day he will tire of it and move on to something else, totally non pool related.
He came, lost some 300+ thou and then he left. He wouldn't be the first sucker to blow some big cheese in the pool world. Rosey makes him look like a piker by comparison. Rosey was blowing bigger money twenty years ago, five and six hundred thou at a pop. Jew Paul and company bet millions every day in Detroit. In essence this guy is a nit. He lost some money and then decided to get his money's worth by messing with one pool player in particular and the pool world in general.
As far as I'm concerned the sooner he leaves the better. He truly is not worth the aggravation he is causing.

Yea.......Your right.
I am beginning to feel the same way, Jay.
Oh. And let's not forget about Archie Karas. I read recently he was doing well in a poker tournament and had the whole poker community pulling for him.
Who can forget the Archie Karas tales in Vegas, some of which did include pool.
In two months, Karas may be broke again. He may be sleeping in his car, scrounging to buy into a high-stakes poker game. He may be just another lonely soul staring at the boulevard's flashing lights, dreaming of parlaying his last handful of change into a mountain of cash.
But he'll always know that for several glorious, odds-defying months, he made the Vegas myth come true...to the tune of $17 million.
Table of Dreams
We played for $40,000 per game, but there were three or four poker players at the rail who wagered another $35,000 on side bets every game. That meant I was playing for $75,000 per game. The funny thing is I wanted to bet $150,000 per game, but they wouldn't do it. A few rail bettors were Howard Lederer, Steve Zolotow, and perhaps someone representing Chip and Doyle. As it turned out, I had the worst of the matchup, and I was normally the best handicapper in making the match at least an even gamble. In this match, though, I ended up losing about $700,000 over three days.
Archie Karas Story of Shooting Pool
What a shooter, what a guy! :thumbup:
While I think they are valuable things in this thread, it appears as if it is veering way out of control. Lets just lock it and leave it here.
