Dick
He was a hurting man when that was over. $Bill is right, they were playing even.
The next day though, I put him in a golf game on a tough snooker table and he took that off for $2000 to redeem himself.
Kelly, Phoebe, Ming and some of the others that have been mentioned are good points and ones I didn't think of right away. I guess the debate for female money players has proven that there may be more than we had first thought. Now that I have been thinking about it I have come up with much more and June Hagar was stone cold playing for the money. I played her in Arizona and followed her to Texas and played as well. Kristi must have forgot those times that she bet against me when I played June esp. the one time in San Antonio when her an Holly went busted and I gave them 1/2 their money back b/c they needed a walkin' stick. Vivian can vouch cause we all ended up staying at her house afterwards cause June kicked them out. As far as the 8 goes I don't recall ever backing down from a spot from any of the female players at that time and even if it would have been foolish I am certain that I would have played.

Hey Monica - I was the girl with June when you beat her that night in Arizona. Those were amazing sets to witness between you two.

Wow! We didn't know that (obviously). I remember June was pulling out money from all sorts of secret spots in her wallet that night.
I saw June about a year ago and we talked for maybe 2 hrs. Is she doing well and still living in TX?
I like playing one on one much better than tournaments b/c you and your opponent have time to show their stuff and get comfortable. The best battles and best pool comes out of those situations. (I think)

She can`t play a lick and you can give her last three and wild 5 for 1000 $ race to 5.
Vagabond, buddy, Monica has already demonstrated a ton of heart and the ability not to bite at bad games. She has my respect. She might not have played Belinda but I have, be it years ago and I'm sure if she beat Wade she is still capable of stringing a rack or two together.
Five and the last three???? That's got to be worse than taking the 7 ball from Reed, right? I don't think Monica is going for the game Vag, but then, if you want to stake it???

It looks like you are interested in staking Monica.what will you be giving up? There is room for negotiation.Match can be arranged at Grady`s room.
by the way I have been experiencing difficulty in opening some of the video clips you have been sending me thru e-mails.Thanks for those though.

I'm sure not traveling all the way up to Grady's to stake anything. If you still lived on the coast it might be easier to put this game in action.
I guess you would stake Belinda if she gets the 5 out and 2 on the wire. Heart-heart-heart.
Well, I will be the 1st to say I want no part of giving Belinda the 5 and whatever else it was. Everybody has an off day and I will tell you that Belinda has been playing a great game. Belinda puts a lot of her time and focus into the betterment of the game and cuts most of her 9 balls in after a 5 hr or more board meeting she just attended.
Vivian's name should have been in there a long time ago. I have watched and bet with her many times. It is always fun, too. Something I do want to add to this thread is that I do not hustle. I play games and sometimes with wagers on them with people that I know and they know me. It helps your game and is fun if you do it this way. This is my opinion. There are many fun stories that can be shared from the past years of pool action and also great moments in pool history. I love to sit around in the pool room and listen to all the stories.

June is doing okay and yes, still in Texas. I wish she would come out more.
I miss her.
