Re: Nit



Yeah, I may take that advice. It's nice getting the workout in a tough game and all, but it's getting tiresome having them waiting for me everyday at the door like a hungry pooch.

What do you do?

The road agents in town call you a nit, because you're only willing to bet $20 a game with them, in what you yourself consider to be a bad game taking the worst of it, but are willing to pay for the experience.

According to other match ups in town, you're taking at least a ball and a half the worst of it (1pocket). But, somewhat amusingly, you got him stuck anyway.

Today, I had Tony Fargo yell at me in the parking lot, before I even got to the door of the pool room, wanting to play some banks (yeah, right) or some 1pocket. Inside, I had Gus Briseno waiting to play me.

Fortunately, for moi, I had a bud from out of town waiting to play too.

These guys have been in town for a few weeks and I'm starting to feel like I'm in a refrigerated bin at the bait & tackle shop...

I almost feel like pulling up on the one guy I have stuck (haven't played Fargo yet) and not play him anymore and quit him ahead. Something tells me that, in the long run, I'm going to regret playing him more.

What would you do?

I'd keep playing them at the same stakes until they Figueroa-ed (sorry)
that it was gonna take them a looonnnnggg time to win back their cheese. Eventually they'll leave looking for less wiley fish.

And if you want to pull up sooner, there's no shame in that. They had
lots of tries if you ask me....
