Hu is my first name as spelled on my driver's license, checks, and the sign in front of businesses I have owned in the past. It was also the name painted on my race cars. I was introduced to thousands of people weekly as Hu. Plain and simple, anyone that doesn't know me as Hu, doesn't know me.

Hu
 
My name is Bill G., I work with internet related software and such daily, there is no way I would use anymore info than that. There is way to much mischief on the internet. No offense but if you do your not very smart.;)
 
You can call me Mr. Pea. My first name is Jay, and my middle initial is S.
 
Why

My name is in my signature and always has been. Name isn't that important, but I would like to know poster's location because it matters when discussing certain subjects.

BTW, a person on the East Coast got into an ongoing riff with a poster on a forum from Texas, took vacation, drove to Texas, found the poster, and killed him, so some precautions are justified.
 
Okinawa Rob, Yes I'm afraid I would tell people how good you play, but I still might have some players who would step up and play you. I'm just honest with my customers. They spend money in my place and they've become my friends and I don't appreciate someone coming in and taking their money when I know how good they play, and understand that my friend and customer doesn't have a chance. As thier friend it's the least I can do.

And, if you would have been a customer of mine, I would have told you about Jimmy Reid. Sorry, I don't agree with that lifestyle, that it's a good honest way to make a living and example to set for people searching for what to do with their life.

That said, when Mike Massey was on the road he would walk into a place and say (something to the effect of) I'm a player and I'll play anyone here for cash!" Never stalling but always playing his game.

That, I admire.

Hey, is your name really Danny Kuykendal? I've never heard of such a silly name before. Are you sure you're not making that up? What's your real name? :)

I have had a handful of threats over the years. If I lay everything out on a plate for someone they may rush to me in hot blood and make a mistake. If I make someone work to find me then they have had time to cool off. If they still show up it puts the meeting in a different light.

I had someone that was upset with me drive over thirteen hundred miles round trip to talk to me less than ten minutes, twice! Gas was cheaper then.

I might not always be right but I am never wrong. Everybody see's things in a different light. what does a name add to a comment? My father did genealigy stuff for 15 yrs. A splendid account of a nearly forgotten era in America'a past. Astory of courage, community, and war. My forefathers occupation was emperor! My name is on the Mayflowers Compact.I am passionate and immpusive in temperment, a gentleman of singular piety, rare humility and great condescendency. I was wealthy had to sell my personal estate. I will be your governor here

I'm a little concerned at the fact that I don't know who I'm talking to on this forum. I play pedal steel guitar and on the Steel Guitar Forum you always know who you're talking to. Even if an nickname is used the person's real name is listed under the nickname.

Why? Is it a pool thing? Do pool players enjoy being incognito?
I personally believe this is one of the reasons pool has achieved it's seedy reputation, because players are always doing something hidden (for lack of a better word).

I go to the player profile and I still don't get a name. Maybe this is an insidious problem particular to pool players? Is giving out your name going to spoil some action?

In my pool room everything is above board. All players know each other, don't hustle any unsuspecting people, and (mostly) behave like gentlemen.
Rudolfo Luat came into my room 10 years ago looking for a game, and I told everyone who he was, like I do all hustlers and players, and he only said, "I understand, you're protecting your customers". He was nice about it. Unlike some players I've run into that get miffed that I "spoiled their action".

Thing is, even if he didn't understand, I would have spoiled his action. And that's one reason I don't get a lot of hustlers coming through Danny K's.

Believe me, we have some really good players who play at my place, but they don't need to hustle, and they understand it doesn't work at Danny K's.

Again, WHO'S WHO?

FWIW. and that ain't much, my name is Steve Ellis from the Boston area. I play pool and soccer (age appropriate) and can't wait to retire if my 401K ever grows enough (it's shirinking today:eek: :( ).
And if you're wondering where "Catscradle" comes from, it is the name of one of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors, Kurt Vonnegut.

Of course, that doesn't get me much. lol.
