uh huh
I agree, JAM, but isn't this a slice of life? Always the negatives will appear.....I really rooted for OMG but I give CUBC credit his effort to show up and follow through, and with all the travel expenses.

For all the people that are saying cubc is taking an unfair beating, did you even follow the threads and happenings leading up to the match? He had been talking trash for months about how he was stealing and about how he was gonna spend her money on a new table and what not. Sure he posted his own money and flew out there, blah blah. HE THOUGHT HE WAS STEALING! If I think I'm stealing in a match then you can rest assured I'm looking to bet as much as the other party can muster. He had to know that if he was gonna talk that much trash in the lead up to the match that he was gonna catch some heat if he lost, and rightly so. Conversely, if he had won then you can bet that he would have already started a couple of threads on it.
I don't think many people are against the backlash he's getting. Yes, he put himself out there and he does deserve it. Some people are just pointing out the other side of the story as well. He may have talked a lot of smack he didn't back up in the end, but he's got guts going out there...that's all. I'm all for both sides. He deserves both.
Two Thumbs Up!
You bring up some good points. If that isn't enough to fade, how about when you've got the male ego at stake against "a girl". Now don't go jumping on me ladies. I'm just saying that a lot of people can't wait to see a girl take a man down on the pool table. Well, you know what I'm trying to say. You know the little smart aleck remarks: I'm not even going to post them but those gender related remarks can take it's toll on your concentration.
I've played good women players before and I don't play well against them, that's for sure even if it for cheap or funzie let alone a nice wad of cash.
CubC and OMGWTF both get two thumbs up from me.

It is a rare breed that can fade that kind of pressure. I have a lot of respect for both of these players to come out and do this.

Agreed.
Still want to see the vid though...my connectivity issues were the stuff of legends that day considering how bad I wanted to see it play out.
Come on Vette, baby, don't we all talk a little to get action. Let's see.... I picture you being down one set for $100 and coming out with, "Just so happens that I have a tee time tomorrow at noon. You play golf too? You gotta give a guy a shot back at his cheese. Right?"corvette1340 said:
Then, after you're two grand up on the golf course, you really stick it in, huh?
crawfish somehow I don't think you read the worst of what he said. I think the original post is more than enough IMO... did you read it?
Yeah, I'd go with "a little outta line" on some of that. But, we don't know what context these things were said. Joking? Not for me to judge. I just know I have said some pretty raw sh%$ in the heat of battle. Hey, for three grand, he can say whatever he wants to me in an eight ahead set.Hierovision said:
I love a little trash talk and I think it is great for rivalries in all sports as well as gambling matches. I like to trash talk depending on who I'm playing and if they know me or not. That being said, if I trash talk and then lose I am well prepared to take all the ribbing that comes with it, and rightly so. I'm just glad it hasn't happened that often.

JAM, do you really condone the following:
[cubc] 12:32 pm: asked me to stay the night since she had her flight in 4 hours
[cubc] 12:32 pm: i said no. she said i would get to cuddle and do what I wanted to her
[cubc] 12:32 pm: i swear to god
[cubc] 12:32 pm: i left... barely
[cubc] 12:33 pm: she was yelling in her room "you'll regrettttt it" as I was walking down the hall of the motel
[cubc] 12:33 pm: i went home. slept for 2.5 hours. woke up. went and picked her up and dropped her off at the airport
[cubc] 12:33 pm: now you can copy all this. instigate more for your dramatically boring lives
AND THE NUMBER 1 DUMBEST THING WAS?
1) "Can I eat you for breakfast instead of IHOP? I can't stop thinking about last night."
And do you REALLY think that Kelly Fisher actually told him that there was nothing more she could teach him??
Sounds to me like the guy is a compulsive liar.

I agree with the ones that said not many on here have played a match for $3000 of their OWN money. Not even pros do?most have a banker and put 00000$ up themselves. Some on here said 80% of the people on here never played for that much of their own money. I say probably more like 98% haven't. I'm not talking about the few on here that are millionaires?that's just a $50 dollar bet to them. So I give them both a lot of credit for putting up their own.
I can't remember ever playing for more than $200 or $300 on a pool table in my fifty years of gambling. I haven't played for fun since I was about 12 years old. I did play a game of Three Cushion for $1300 once (around 1966, so that?s about $3000 now) when I thought I had the dead nuts. I didn't but that's another story. I wasn't very nervous, but that was probably because I thought I had the best of it.
As far as playing on the Internet, I don't know how that feels. I know I taped "How to start an IV" for a hospital I worked at with about 200 people watching live and knowing hundreds more would be seeing it later for training and it made me VERY nervous.
BUT...he knew he was betting $3000. He knew he was playing a girl. He knew a good percentage would be rooting against him. He knew he was going to be showcased on TAR and the Internet. He was the one that talked trash. Sorry, I feel he got what was coming to him. Johnnyt
