Great spoof
You had me going. I guess you can tell I'm a DM fan. Not sure why though. I guess watching him beat the ghost on a triple shimmed table for a buck or two has something to do with it.Mainplayer said:
Glad to hear Donnie is back playing pool. He was always entertaining to watch. I was also pleasantly surprised that this thread didn't turn into yet another knocker thread.
iba7467...No offense taken! Have them call me...and then I'll call someone I know, who will be happy to play them for WHATEVER (since I no longer gamble). 
As far as walking into a poolroom (any poolroom) and ask anybody to play a set for $100...I did it every day, when I did gamble pool for a living. But that was 30 yrs. ago (when a $100 set actually was a LOT of money). Fortunately I no longer have to, or choose to, live that lifestyle... IMO, it's still about stepping up, posting, and playing...regardless of the bet. People who are laying for someone to post up thousands are, for the most part, delerious. Those kind of games are few and far between... unless you're a world beater (and even then, most world beaters still are too broke to post, and have to have a stakehorse).

When we were younger, we "played" real games outside. Now, kids "play" baseball, basketball, football or golf on their couch with a Nintendo or Gameboy in hand! They are snow white in August! Never see the sun! Too many things revolve around a computer nowadays!
Also, I can't imagine if computers were available 30 years ago, that guys like Earl Strickland, Mike Sigel, Bugs Rucker or any other real road player would get a phone call about matching up and say "Wait a minute until I Google that dude to see if he can make more than 2 in a row"
The closest thing to a computer real pool guys use nowadays is pool genius Billy Incardona's noggin! He IS a walking pool computer when it comes to matching up.
You gave your age with that post Scott!
Yeah but back in the day the top notchers would "google" by picking up the phone and calling around. They had a pretty "wired" information network going on.
When a stranger used to roll into our pool room and want to match up the owner was usually on the phone in minutes calling around to find out who he was. Most of the time it didn't take too many phone calls to finger a player.
I was the guy that would walk into strange poolrooms and want to match up with the best player. They couldn't get any info on me because I never beat anyone.
So they would put up their best, or whoever and generally win a couple hundred or so and I'd leave. Then they would say what was that sucker's name anyway.......

How true...and don't ask me for weight if I don't know you.Scott Lee said:If you like to play, why don't you just SHOW UP and play him? Then you'll know who he is, and how he plays. Match up, post up, and play some. If he kills you, you adjust the game or quit. If you kill him, he'll ask to adjust the game or quit. What's the big deal?It always amazes me how today everybody has to have the 420 on somebody before they'll even play. It didn't used to be that way, 30+ years ago, when I gambled pool for a living. I don't know you...you don't know me...post up and play!
