A "Nit" is an opinion, A "Knocker" is a action(in most cases) like my story above, they thought I knocked their game, that was enough. I'm glad they didnt play. You awalys got make sure you pick your spots right-even then things can get bad.

"FATBOY SHOT OVER KNOCKERS" has certainly got potential as a newspaper headline in the classic ooooh-err! mould :smile:

If it's a good friend or relative, i got no problem with the classic knock....but some local stool pigeon wanting to put his/her 2 cents into none of thier biz......VERY BAD!

I was always told that the only time you should get involved was, if your money is in the middle.

If someone makes a bad game thats their fault. Unless you have a piece of the action you shouldn't knock ever.

Tar's new shirt - The ONLY Knockers Allowed are at Hooters.


you should get a royalty check for that one!!! great one,

on a side note when I was blowing my $$$ on SVB(we will get them next time) the waitress sat next to me and I dont know what came over me at 630AM, but I came with the funniet thing I said in ALONG time, man i cant remember when I laughed so hard-JCIN will vouch-I was making fun of myself and damn I delivered it like Richard Pryor in 1975, I nailed it, everyone was laughing their asses off at me, and what I said. That was the best part of the trip-better than clearing the rail of the $$, only to give it back.

I will let JCIN tell the story, God if we podcast of that it would be #1 on iTunes store, Amazon and TAR, the moment and way I said it wont be captured but I memorized it and Justin did too,

JCIN write that story man and email me it and we'll check it for accuracy before we post it, its long for a shirt but I think were gonna do it too, TAR needs the biz and shirts are triple strong!!


and yes its embarassing, but i can laugh at myself, eveyone else will too. i promis, its along the knockers line but has to do with me and a size problem :( , i will leave it at that until the story is written.

LOL

for me... the worst is the low life bumming my smokes... who refuses to play unless I bet my mortgage... the low life who believes that pool owes him... I shot three years in my folks's basement.. I shouldn't have to work for a living...

the second worst is the low life failed pool player with a bunch of family money... he can't play but he likes to raise the bet high enough to rattle the other guy... the two together are a sight to behold ... greed and over confidence run amok...


they just don't seem to want to play me.....

and once they have seen me play..

they NEVER want to play me..

/sarcasm/ the only way you can get good son... is to gamble with me... I'll help you get better at $10 a rack ....I swear ... what you need is heart... you only get more heart by betting more on your games with me..... what??? you're out of money??? your not worth my time.....\sarcasm\

people who make their living from gambling at pool are the biggest group of phony con artists and failed pool players on the planet..

two equal players want to put a little something on the game ... all good... go for it..

one good player siphoning money out of some bangers wallet is a low life..

if someone telling someone else that you are a good player is "knocking your action"... then YOU are a low life ...

I want to be regarded as a good player... I want other people to say about me... he's good...

how did fatboy get all his money?????

oh yea... telemarketing......

low life...

no not all my $$$, resalestate has made many times more than telemarketing, sorry, I dont claime to set a moral standard, and thats perhaps why i'm at a pool room not church, at least i admit i have done alot of scumbag thing-still dont make them right,

What did I do to you?

the happiest moment of my life was buying my parents a house, you see i didnt inheart a dime from anyone-I got a education from my partens-who i miss dearly,

i'm not the guy to be a role model, unless i make alot of changes, and believe me i have since i was robbing bangers, but its relaatitive, if I play SVB and get robbed is shane a bad guy? i'm a banger compaitred to him, and the bangers are out to get something too-dont forget that, they think they have a edge,

on your high moral ground/standards where do you fit in and can you be honest about your flaws? and no i'm not a Christian repentting my sins.

if you want to knock me in public its cool man i will only hold you closer-MLK was perhaps the greatest mind in America as a civil rights man, Hawking the physicist is another great. when I meet people troubled with me like you seem to be, I look to the aformentioned people and ask "What would they do?" if put in a spot like you did me, and I just did what I believed what they might do, i did when i put myself in the bad spot 20 years ago i didnt point a finger(awalys harder-try it sometime, no pointing) I'm not pointing at you just responding. I will take my licks, when they are not baseless and have been judged by a reasonable standard, like my spelling that is clearly a problem, its 100% visable-Eric petersen isnt, Fatboy is a marketing plan, there is a huge difference, no i'm not schitzo or anything weird.

i wish you the best on your efforts in life, and many belssings of the highest order for you, your family, loved ones and friends.

when people ask me how I play-now days I say fair, but getting better, sure I lied in the past, but isnt that celebrated here by tothers when they make a score?? thats pool, i dont see anyone here saying well who needed the $$$ more-then judging the game as you are in this case. if you want to re-distribute wealth or lack of it get into politics and change the tax code. and yes i pay all my taxes, out of fear i dont mess around with them. Do you? i'm sure of it.

as much as i hate casinos, the people who lose there(all of them) all have underling intentions of "figuring out a system" and that means getting $$$ for nothing, thats a natural instinct all people have-even the PC ones that lie about it-you me and everyone else would eat their parents if they were hungry enough, or ask for $$$ under false pretences, I got robbed for $350,000 last week or 2 weeks ago and am taking a more civil action than Gotti would have, should i let it go? because the guy needs to feed his family?

tell me where do you land on all these philosiphical issues, I had alot of this critical thinking, courses in school and am self educated, your dancing my dance now.

i told a story about being in a bad spot-didnt blame anyone and you drop all this on me, ok fair enough. i'm just as lesser person than you, your clearly better than me, what you said proves that. 1+4=345 why? cause i said so. see i'm good at math like your good at judging someone who is a cheerleader here(me), very littl of me comes out here, despite the # of posts i make, i'm stuck in bed, when i'm not i wont be here as much.

sincerly

its 4am i have a broken foot, i'm going to bed, I will live to defend myself another day, not that i need to, hell i dont feel compelled to, i'm just working on my writing skills and am awake AGAIN tonight, from a written stand point not spelling......Do you think I need to lose some weight? ;) cause thats how it looks to my post compaired to yours-remember that movie and line??? I hope the others speak up, i mean that, even if I did lose the battle(like a debate) thats cool I just hope this is well written, it felf like good practice and came with ease. thanks again man . later

I don't have high moral standards... I think religion is the most ridiculous thing modern humans hold dear..

I grew up in Nevada..

I have at least as many friends in Vegas as you do.. and we probably know some of the same people...

my problem isn't against gambling... bet what you want on your pool game..

my problem is this phony perception that if you won't gamble.. that you somehow can't play...

all the big gamblers I have met.. suddenly have a urgent cell phone call.. after they see me shoot and have somewhere else to be all of a sudden..

once you have given you best effort at pool you have two choices.. get serious devote to it and get good at playing....... or... play at your level forever and get better at matching up.... matching up is easier.. less effort similar reward... low lifes dream..

me.. I work harder than 99% of pool players...


and it shows...

I'll play you any time for bragging rights Mr. Petersen..

sincerely

i made a few changes to my big post-the last paragraph, no hard feelings,

i dont gamble either, truth be told, hell if i dont get a bet down for months(or ever again) its cool with me, I have no urge or desire to bet or gamble.

i agree with you on religon too, but i will never knock anyones faith-so long as they arnt suicide bombers, If someone has their fath I respect it and indulge them, I will say a prayer with someone and mean it when I say it. But thats not my core beliefs,

as far as bad stuff, yeah i was bad, not the worst-but bad, there is along story behind it, dosnet make it right, and i am not that way anymore,

i neversaid people who dont bet on pool are lesser players, they are different, no better or worse, the balls dont know about $$. I wish I was a better player, my talent is hustling not playing, Ralf is the oppsite, given a choice I'd rather be the player, but like family members no one gets to choose, so i live with the fact I probably aint going to beat Earl anytime soon. :(

let me know if you ever come to vegas, we can sit down and talk about anyhitng if you like,

my best

eric

I run a mid-level tournament here in Texas and have to rate players for them to be able to play.

People call me all the time to get a line on someone. If I know the players current ranking, I will share it, but I will add that players rankings go up and down with circumstances. If you're calling to see if you should play or not, I always say, "don't play".

If you don't have the common sense to figure out someones speed by playing them, don't play.

I have never played someone if I thought I needed to get a line on them. The ONLY way you can win, if someone calls YOU for a line, is to say don't play.

I have lost to a few world beaters too! But not much. It didn't take me long to know I was in over my head.

To me, figuring out my opponents speed on the table (not with a phone call) is 1/2 the fun!

I get the same business all the time. Usually I just tell them to play real well. They usually won't listen very well anyway, so Why even bother.

Like Rodney, I used tp take a shot at most anyone anyway.

You know, there are times I just don't say anything tbinking they need to exercise their heart which can be a real contradiction in terms.

when they asked Puckett, he said "you got the nuts" after they lost, they'd say mr. Puckett you said i had the nuts ? he said kid " i thought you could plaaay, but you can't plaaay"
