Update on the Des Moines pool scene

i like

They didn't lie, they lost. Straight up. OK before the last week let's be serious about one thing we were making money daily. Literally daily. Better money than unemployment checks. We will look back on all these lovely posts when I return and laugh about them and how high you can get before you fall. You guys arent gamblers, dont know the ropes. Don't know the moves. You know the phrase about the experienced guy meeting the guy with money. You'll live it out no doubt.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say all the action is dry without me. No one will care about the $20/game one hole and $5/game everything else. $20 sets and all that kind of stuff. People will miss me even if it's just because of the action.

I don't wanna go to the pool hall because right now I can't see all the angles. That's when it is time to take a break. Vision is too cloudy. Nothing to do with possibly getting robbed, that's also part of the game. Happens to most people at some time or another. I'm not even butt hurt or mad about it anymore. I just wanted to expose it and let people take it FWIW. I can get games anywhere at anytime. If you think I've lost more than I've won even at this point you're insane. I keep a book of every win and lost and I'm up. Hey you should keep a book, it's good business to do so. NM I am a donkey and have no clue what I am doing. Happy spending.

Oh and John Metzger wants to play you some after watching you last night. That should be more easy money for you. Let's see if you end up betting it though??? Truth be told I'll be shocked if I see a thread or this one continued about any sizable bets taking place. Only time will tell.
I like that match up between metzger and jason
 
I haven't heard this many conspiracy theories since 9/11. My god you people are ridiculous! It does make for interesting reading though. I have been glued to this thread via my cell phone all day!.....There were no bombs in the towers!!! Is this how Batman and the Joker started? I think they did! They started in a pool hall over some 1k set! I think that is what the next Batman is going to be about.....
 
i'd like to make a point or 11.........

point 1... Pet plays STRONG

point 2... Pet plays STRONG betting his OWN money(ask him about busting Jamie F. up for 2k+, no backer, or playing Tom giving him 4 games, race to 5,started out giving 3 but that wasn't enough!!, no backer)

point 3...Playing w/ your own money makes you concentrate and play ALOT harder than playing w/ someone else's money if you have nothing to gain but useless banter(this goes for anyone unless you hate money)

point 4...Jason R. plays STRONG

point 5...Jason R. plays TOO STRONG for ANYONE in DM to get the wild 6(ESPECIALLY IF YOU CONSIDER POINT 3) and yes this includes Jamie,Jason,Mike,Jody,and Pet.

point 6...Disecting how to rack 9 ball(besides putting the one in front and the 9 in the middle!!!) only hurts my brain, and I can only imagine what it does for others!

point 7...Mike F. has shed a "different" light on gambling in Des Moines.(one that in my 17+ years of playing pool around DM hasn't seen). Not a bad light, not a good light, just a different light. Some might say, refreshing light.

point 8...Mike F. is going about gambling in DM all wrong(this is just my opinion and dammit I have a right to one!!! :D). People in DM don't "back other people" in fear of not being able to have "control" of their own money. Sweat betting is fine though.

point 9...Josh J. is a train wreck that has the "capability" to play lights out but on any given day can be 'derailed'.

point 10...There has been gamble in DM since I have been playing pool and will continue to be here long after I'm gone.

point 11... Jeff L. opened his mouth, Mike F. called him on it, I will close it. Jeff L, I want to play you, $100 race to 7, 8 ball. btw, I'm just a league player too. I only play once a week during bca fall league, and once a week during summer vnea 9ball league(little insight, I've never beat you in league, smokey's tournament, or anywhere). Play me or take this as a hint too not put your 2 cents where it doesn't belong. Otherwise Jeff, "know your role".

........where did I put the remote, chips, and salsa?(I'm not a 'popcorn' kind of guy) I need to get back to the sidelines and watch this thread go on!!!

Good post, I can't rep you yet again but I would. I also agree about getting money in behind guys might not be the same as it was. Betting your own is def the way to go. After my hiatus is over I'll stick to that for sure. 2to 1 on the money is garbage anyway. I take your points with a grain of salt but your opinions are welcome and appreciated. I disagree with some of them but thats ok.
 
my first post!

I'd like to thank Mikey Frost for all of the action he is creating in town. His methods and actions might be a little hard to deal with sometimes, but I like the results I'm seeing.

Oh, and get John Metzger in the box against Jason. Tell him he can bet as much as he likes!

Welcome buuuuddy. Is this the same younger guy with his ears pierced that has been a part of the backing on one or two of these matches recently? If it is who I think it is...I get half or a 1/3 of your guys action lol.

I didnt even know you did the AZ thing. John wants your brother pretty bad he sent me a text. He wants to play even and post two $500 7 ahead sets. I dont know if John has ever played for that but hes gonna bet his own and wants to play like now. Does that sound good?

Yeah he has the blonde skinny girlfriend Alisa...that would be the same kid. He's grown though. I told him to get the 7 or 8.

Welcome to the Ringling Brothers Mike and Jason circus!!!! Have a seat, maybe get some popcorn and some cotton candy!:dance:
 
That's a Thousand Dollar question...........


Find it a bit funny a day after throwing your boy under the bus, you wanna jump back in action. Think i'll try out John M some, since im free rolling on your $ now. I will be thinking of you guys though.
 
Thanks for giving him my #. Gonna try him out i guess. Ive never played anyone even, dont know what will happen.

He told me you dont want me in on the bet so you might even save me some money if you take it off. I only gave it to him based on Justin's post. I would have given him Justin's number but I didnt have it. I told him to call you tomorrow during the day but hes young and anxious. Man I'm on hiatus but looks like I gotta stop by the room this wknd and next wknd to show some support to some guys I'd love to see win.

Free rolling isn't all it's cracked up to be, trust me I did it on Des Moines dime for like a month hahaha. Please think of us while you do it though, you are saying all the right things to pump up my boys trust me. I dont take it personally I think its sweet. Hopefully you bring people back to their top speeds. If you do, I'll send you a thank you card.
 
I chatted with Jesse Bowman online and he said he will stake Josh Johnson for $5k to play an even ahead set with Jaime. Figured I'd pass it on since your camp loves big time action.

good match up between jon and jason dont know who would win
 
After watching Chris Bartrum beat John Schmidt in a 15 hour ten ahead 10 ball match Im reminded of what an ahead set should play like. No coincidence that happened on the big table. Big table is where its at. I feel so good tonite. All the knowledge i got.
