Whoever said Ameer Ali has a fluke fargo may want to reconsider, he has made it through a tough first 3 matches to get to the final 32:

Joao Grilo 9 4
Roland Garcia 9 7
Robbie Capito 11 8

do you think he has increased or decreased his fargo in this tournament, so far?

I’ve lost any hope of getting my Full money back out of this thing the way the marketplace is right now. I’m sure not giving it back to JB for a restock fee and cost of shipping. Might as well pass it on to you. This is cheaper than you’re gonna buy it from JB. Hell it’s been cheaper the whole time lol…
Shipping included

There were some very strong players who would have done quite well in tournament play but for whatever reasons they chose not to. And back then there was a subtle dislike by gamblers and road dawgs for tourney players and vice versa.
Perhaps subtle is the wrong word.

I knew so many of those players back then that gambled and travel hustling pool on the road and many had real talent but could care less. They reached the level that suited their needs and they weren't putting in 8 hours a day on the table to try and be the world's best or break any records.

Too bad Grabe and Uski fell little short.. But my buddy Casper gonna take SVB down in last 32 ! (bold prediction ...just because he was lucky enough to beat me 2 weeks ago in semis of our little open tournament here hahaha)

Sorry, no luck on pics with Bob and that travel cue (Dieckman), but here's a few bonus pics that I found:

Bob playing with one of his 2 HOF Schuler cues during that trip.


Here's his other HOF Schuler.


A selfie of us during that trip


And one of my favorites; Bob invited me in the Accustats booth during the 1993 SL International in Queens, NY.


I know this isn't what you asked for but you got me reminiscing...thanks.

That's pretty cool. Do either of these 2 on the right (also produced by chatgpt) somewhat match what you see for the left image?

Thanks.

I was definitely overthinking that.

If memory serves Kledio is on a 3-pack right now. 9-8 Kledio
