who have you beaten in a tournament?
Were you surprised by their level of play?
Never in a tournament, but many times have played sets against them in our poolroom. Notably, Allison Fisher, Gerda Hofstatter, Karen Corr, Kelly Fisher, Ewa Laurance, Ramil Gallego, Antonio Lining and Mike Gulassy are some that come to mind. I always go in to these challenges with great excitement and anticipation of holding my own, usually only to be humbled and reminded very quickly the vast difference in my skill level and consistency compared to theirs.Pro players play all types of events.

If you beat Buddy in the early 80's then you played REALLY sporty as that was was the height of his powers. I'm impressed 'cause i saw the man play a lot back then and he didn't lose very often. Nice record against some monster players. Good shootin brother.I have been fortunate to have beaten several pros.I beat Buddy Hall in Chattanooga,Tenn. I believe it was I'm the early eighties. Beat Keith McCready at Wagon Wheels Willies in College.Park,Ga. (might have been in a mini tourney). Also at W W Willies (I didn't win but I gave him a good match) I lost to Earl 11-10. Beat Johnny in Macon,Ga. I believe it was Macon that I also beat Stevie Moore. Might have been at a different time. Someone was videoing Stevie I believe. Beat Tommy Kennedy in Panama City,Fl. at Hot Shot billiards,(No longer there). last but not least beat Tony Crosby and Scotty Townsend at Starcade Billiards in Ft. Walton Beach,Fl. I believe those wins were in a mini tourney. Not bragging, just proud like you to have been fortunate to have beating a lot of good players. At best I considered myself a short-stop.

Yes, I played Santos Sambajon in the weekly SUnday 9 ball tournament at Hard Times in Bellflower.
I had a few chances in a couple of games, but ultimately lost 8-0. I wasn't exactly surprised by how well he played. I know he can compete with anybody in the world. It definitely felt like I was playing the ghost though in that I knew if I missed I would almost assuredly not get back to the table.
