My guess and I know they are a few yrs apart, TJ came before CJ and then when CJ became CJ' W.TJ stayed away from em.
But now?
But now that CJ isn't the CJ he was in his younger years (not that he couldn't be just that other matters have taken priority), and that TJ still lives in the pool hall, I wonder if it wouldn't make for a more even match up? At the very least the jawing and head games would be amazing.

This. Everytime.see him about 3-4 times a week and shoot a little a bit, one time i beat him in a tournament and said '' you son of a b**** you are so fu***** lucky.... and next day he was nice like nothing happend... lol, shoots gre thou!
ha...thats funny tj has no chance playing cj
Might be a toss up since TJ has about another 15 current yrs behind em.
Agree w/ you 100% bud.
He's an awesome player.... when he wins.
He cant beat Joey at any game
I cant beat Joey, not even close and I offered to play TJ even 9 ball for 2 dimes on a 9ft in Houston, of course thats after he barked at me for knockin him out of the tourney. That offer still stands if hes got any stakehorses trollin this thread.

Yea I have had the same experience. I came back three racks in 8 ball to win the match in a tourney. After he said if I won this tourney he would never come back and that I was the luckiest person ever and that I had the 7 ... Well I won the tourney but the next week he was there all friendly like nothing had ever happened.
Wow, not sure why the AZ community is so down on a pool player. Yes, TJ has a temper and has been barred from several rooms in the area. He does not have a rep for Air-Barreling anyone that I know of. He plays strong and smart and does not book many losers.
TJ has always been straight with and around me. He has a small portable lathe and does tips reasonably and with care. In my experience He wins - he collects: He loses - he pays. He wins more than he loses (as my wallet can attest).
It appears the AZ community believes all pool players should be good role models. In my experience this is often not the case. Sometimes the biggest asshat of the night is really the strongest player in the room looking for a better payday. That’s how it works.
As for TJ matching up with Joey B. or Coy Lee – I wouldn’t have any cash riding on the outcome – but it would be fun to watch.

TJ came through OKC in the early '90's and tried to hustle me (and was a little less than subtle about it). He's a better player than I am, but I was playing well at the time and wasn't dumb enough to put up real money against a guy I'd never seen before. We played 9-ball even for $10/game and I pulled 6 or 7 games ahead. He spent about an hour trying to catch up (unsuccessfully), then quit me a loser and stiffed me.
Not trying to bash the guy. Just my 1 lone experience with Mr. Davis.

That's the first time I have ever heard about you playing for money...and you got stiffed! Damn!

Not woofing, just bored
Easy now, there's a big difference between "TJ" and "CJ". :groucho:
TJ's always been ok with me, but I understand why people have the opinions they do about him.
I've offered TJ the 7Ball playing 9Ball on numerous occasions and the offer still stands. I would even try the 8 playing 10 Ball if the "bet was right".
I gave Joey the 7 and the break and won on a big table, but I don't think I have that "gear" left in my these days. :wink: I will give him something if anyone wants to put him in the box though. Not woofing, just bored. :smile:

Man, it felt pretty good, it's been awhile
Is that what that was? Man, it felt pretty good, it's been awhile. :wink:
After talking with Johnny, Mike D. and Dennis yesterday about their Mosconi Cup experience I think I'm getting the urge to play some serious pool.

Exhibition Matches?
Well if it isn't about the money, and my guess is that it's the money preventing the lower level players from stepping up, then maybe some exhibition matches can be scheduled and winner can take the pot? Pool room owners can kick in some, and observers can pay for cheap tickets. There are still plenty in the DFW area that would like to see CJ play against the local and traveling talent. CJ gets his practice, local players get their opportunity, and everyone wins.
I think the biggest issue would be getting visibility to observers in the pool halls. If 100 people show up to watch the match, then how can they all watch? Video streaming to TVs?
CJ if you're any closer to opening a room, then maybe you should consider a exhibition area with bleachers?
Who would people want to see match up against CJ? Joey Barnes, T.J. Davis, Bert Kinister, who else .....?
