These guys need to work with Ric Flair. Promo skills could use a "bit" of work.

a story from someone in Indianapolis, that's where we'll be playing
You're right, it would be better to get a story from someone in Indianapolis, that's where we'll be playing......I have played there, many, many years ago.

On a BB with big CB...toss up IMO. Johnnyt
That Big Cue Ball is another world. Omaha John showed me how "Surfer Rod" double kissed balls in. I practiced this technique, and on new cloth could "double kiss" a ball from (close to the rail) one diamond by the side pocket all the way down to the corner.
Talk about a "road shot," when you make this one on someone there first instinct is to just quit.....so I wouldn't advice using it unless the money's "locked up".

'The Game is the Teacher' Perhaps the writer has his time frame off a bit? 25 to 30 years ago (1984-1989), Johnny would have been between 16 and 21 and you would have been between 20 and 25. I don't think Johnny was "a proven world champ" at that point.

voted "The Best Player of the 90s".
Tournament players weren't respected half as much as money players in this day. Johnny Archer is one of the few that won major titles that also would put up his money and gamble.....and gamble well, besides me he won more than anyone on the road traveling city to city, town to town. I actually went to play him in his home town the first time and gave him the "7 Ball"....even then I could tell he was going to be a SuperStar....and he was also voted "The Best Player of the 90s".
Johnny Archer is tried and true, even to this day he can beat anyone in the country. At the 2012 he won 6 out of 6 matches. Does anyone know how difficult this is in London?

What you trying to say? That they still weren't good players?
For what it's worth, I could have beaten both of them 45 years ago...of course they would have been about 3 years old at that time...but a win is a win!

New Orleans for 5k, but that's "betting cheap" at Buffalo's Billiards.
Vivian V - we played two, $5000 sets this year. As you know, I would have played for 5k a game up where you're at, just couldn't get the game right. Gambling has dwindled down considerably, most of the big money games are held privately, the general public is never informed. My preference is to play someone in their house, on their "home" table, there's far less problems and distractions.

Maybe you will make another trip up here.
And I agree on home games. Besides the spot you were at, we have a 3 1/2 x 8 (yes those are the dimensions) that gets more action on it than any other table in the area.
What was the weight CJ? If thats too personal, I understand. Just curious.
Good stuff!!!
I think she was giving him the break, BIH after the break, the last three balls, and two to one on the money....but that is just a rumor.
LOL. Just kidding, but I was going to ask the same question.
I need the numbered balls.
sounds like a deal!
Sonny, you can have the numbered balls, I'll take the white one. What did you want to play for?

Nah, they certainly were both terrific players at young ages. I think CJ has said that he pretty much gave up the road for tournaments in 1991 (when he would have been about 26), so his Indianapolis match-up with Archer might have occurred before that. Archer was playing pro events in his teens, but won his first one in 1991. His first world championship was in 1992.

The "underdog" has clearly stated that he needs to be staked at the game and he'll start out the negotiations with him going to 20 while Mr. Wonderful goes to 25. I guess online poker gambling is really profitable but, of course, my girl doesn't go to work everyday while I sleep in.

This match was for a total of $100,000....we haven't seen that duplicated in a while
The first game we played was "the 6/7,and the Last 4".....she beat me, then we adjusted and I managed to get even......she's a great player, at times she plays better than me.
I believe Vivian, and I played a match on ESPN for more than anyone in history (on ESPN).
Click here to see some highlights from that match....
I was told by Gary Morgenstern (the producer) over 2.8 Million people viewed this world-wide.... 600 international hours of exposure overall (app).
