Are you still looking for a Bear cue?

It would have been better to watch Josh and Fedor battle it out at Buffalo’s where the winner gets $40,000 and the Calcutta worth $150,000 that gets split up. If Josh and SVB would have been there the Calcutta probably would have been $250,000 to the winner. Not bad for an independent tournament.

WNT is doing the same thing next year.

Yes, the prize fund is big at Buffalos. So what?

You have argued that WNT should schedule around Buffalos and I can't see any reason they should. Historically, some events in American WPA sanctioned tours (such as PBT and UPA) had date protection, but I'd guess that no independent event has ever had it since the formation of the WPA in the 1980s.

I can appreciate that as a fan, you are disappointed that Buffalos didn't draw a better field with defending champ Filler and 2026 Derby City one pocket champ SVB in the mix, but we have reached a point in the game where the top few players can pick and choose their events and still earn a good living.

That's three straight lines in a row. 3 vectors. Seldom is it one straight line. One vector.

Interesting read. I'm about half way through it I think. Knew him as AJ in K-town from only him playing in some 8 ball bar tournaments and I'd play him a $5 game 1 handed vs 2 handed once in a while when I guess he was out earning his keep. The rest of the story was more than I imagined.

It slipped under my radar.

First night I read 50 pages and realized I knew a lot of people in the stories. They are all very short, not written by a professional, but fun to read. Wish it was a physical book though.

I recall one 9 ball tournament in Portland area that had 7 footers. The power breakers were coming up dry way too often. The Elmer Fudd looking Old Timer hit em 70 percent and the balls were leaking.
