Well if that is the case, you have action!
Only if they have not played yet, it is late for me and I am sedated so I might have to rely on my AZ bretheren to keep it straight. OK?
You want it, then all you have to do is say ok before they match and you got it. I am in for 30$ with you. I am going to have to caount on our brother hood here to keep it straight because my back is OB right now and I am ready for bed. Just let me know.
BTW this is only for one person that wants WALDEN, I am off to bed the first one to take it before they play is on. I will have to check in the morning.

here you go... from a different part of this website... go to player finder... find the player... and then click on photo gallery if one is available for that player
James Walden
James was probably one of the best two or three big money cash 9-ball and 1 pocket player from 1990 - 2000, he booked very few losers and very, very, very many winners. I was lucky enough to live in Okalhoma City during that period and made several nice scores betting on the side when James was in action. He is still a force to be reckoned with but does not get nearly as much play as he did before poker started putting a dent in much of the pool action.

> I'm not taking anything away from John,he is a great player period. I guess it was over a year ago when someone was asking about James' speed,and people thought I was NUTS when I said anyone under Johnny Archer's speed need not apply playing 9 or 10-ball,and pretty damn close to Cliff's one-hole level. Looks like I was closer to the truth than the consensus said.
I'm with Rib again on this one,the ONLY way I bet against James playing JS is in 14.1,PERIOD. I think James has a more solid,repeatable game. John may run oodles of balls playing 14.1,but I think his slightly unorthodox mechanics might fail him in a 12 hour session against James,while James will simply play as good or better for longer.

I've lived in Oklahoma my whole life, and the one players name that is constantly said when it comes to playing pool, is James Walden. I've known James for sometime. I can honestly say that he may be the strongest money player in the country. About 2 years ago in Olathe, KS. during a mini-tournament, I watched him break and run 7 on Chad Vilmont racing to 9 on a bar box, for the finals. Everytime I see James play, it never fails that I'm truly impressed with how well he plays. I hope that James wins and finally gets the respect, that I think, he deserves.
Snap'em off brother, we're all cheering for ya back home!
