Read what you wrote and then tell me that. I will find out what speed you play and if our game is close I will play you 6 ahead for ten thousand dollaers. I want us to have a fair game for both ove us. But I like the part were you will bet.
Artie,
First of all, to respond to the above quote. If you had put your "want ad" for pool lessons in the "classified" section nobody would have commented on it. When you advertise something for sale that's where it goes. I can't imagine anybody responding to a classified ad, at least not in the classified section.
Next, concerning your response to my asking you to play. You quoted me saying I'll play this winter and then in another thread you say you won't play in winter because of health reasons I think. Your health is more important than a pool game. That's o.k., I'm not making fun of it, but there is no need to draw this out further if you can't play in the winter.
Third and last point: You say you aren't waiting till New Years to play. My vacation time is all used up this year (at work). I have next week off and plans for it, and I have Christmas off but that's in the winter. After New Years is all I could do either way.
Let's not drag this out at all. I am not a woofer, I am a player. Maybe we will get a chance next year if it comes up again.
As far as getting a line on my speed, I have not been in a serious "gambling" poolroom in over 5 years. Anyone who tells you my speed is either a liar or an idiot. My best friends don't know my speed because they go to different rooms. Nobody on this planet has seen me play in 5 years. Nobody from the "pool" world anyway.
All said, thanks for the offer to come here to play. I had no doubt that you would. But if our only option is to play "right now", then we won't be playing. I guess we'll disappoint our fans but I'm not an entertainer anyway.
P.S. This topic did not need it's own thread. It's not that important.
P.S.S. Dick, I don't think you broke it so don't sweat it.
