I watched a live stream of an 800 Fargo rate player, competing in a $20 weekly tournament, recently.

Gerson Martinez was in San Antonio recently. Very nice guy and he was always at the pool hall, practicing almost every day. He played some guys some cheap one pocket hundred dollar races to three and I’m more than sure he would’ve played some cheap short $50 sets of 9 or 10 ball. I mean, it’s just practice and lunch money for him. He’s gonna be there hitting balls anyway. Plus, I think he really loves to just play.

is he as jumpy in practice/sparring as he is on a tournament tv table? it's quite entertaining to watch, he can make some sick shots too. very talented player

Yep, time goes fast. I believe Buck passed away earlier this year.

Yeah, Buck did pass a few months back. He called me one day and I was playing 1 pocket w/Chris Comstock and didn’t take the call as a result. A few days later I got a call from another friend that said he had died, it made me feel bad for not taking that call. They had a nice little send off memorial for him at the Qball on Central avenue

Is Keno Pool primarily luck or are there people that can play it really well?

C
I don’t know much about it. A very long time ago someone brought one of those Keno boards to the pool hall and I got to play it a few times and the impression I was left with was that once a ball rolls up onto the board it would be extraordinarily difficult to predict where the ball will fall. I figured a good player can probably increase their odds of having a ball fall into the desired slot via aim and speed control but I couldn’t imagine someone doing that with regularity.

Of course i could be totally wrong and I haven’t seen it played at all since then. I came across the pool movie titled Double Down South while browsing Amazon Prime Video just now and so far it seems to be all about that game.

That's awesome! I pitched that idea to our TD about having the loser stay at the table. I don't see why a player who doesn't win one game should be in the tournament for hours. Let them go home and try again next time! Do you use a certain kind of software that evens out the games? Would you mind sending me any information you have on how they do that?

The software is Ingen Pool, which is available on budtour.com

Hubert Cokes and Titanic Thompson Golf

The Biography of the “ Unsinkable Titanic” is a great read that you cannot put down. I read it about 30 years ago and then lost the book and couldn’t find it. So many stories about his travails but much of it does not get into his demons and from what I’ve heard he had plenty. For all the money he won, he was a sucker for the horses and lost big playing pool. Now a days, poker gets the pool players but back then it was the horses. The big three outta NY could have lived well had it not been for the horses. They were De Liberto, Jersey Red and Ervolino. They like Titanic list their bankrolls on the ponies. But I digress. The book is still out there. Get it and settle in for a fun read.

Are you talking the whole top lid? Maybe if you show us the case whether it Brown,Black, Tan or etc. it would help. Plus which clasp does that case have?

Rusty Melton question is right ... is lid missing or just crack beyond repair​
