cuban joey came into our room once and had the line on the two players that he could beat out of a few thousand or more. they werent around.

he asked for people to play and i didnt know him so as always take one or two barrels at any comer. 20 a game 6 ball. 1960's time line.
so we played and i could beat most all new faces and knew good road players would stall for awhile.
so i got ahead a few games and he had to come out of his shell so i quit him winners. he said"you cant do that". i said "that is risk being a road player". later years we becomes so called friendly;

so after that he was putting on his why cant i get a game thing. so we got the black guy janitor who was out in the bowling alley.
he got 5 pockets to one on the 9 and joey didnt know he could play as well as him. after he started running out and out playing him on the nine. joey yelled out "who is this guy anyway".

staten island who sent him in didn't think of including info on the janitor who really no one there ever had seen him play.

Kenny won a 9 ball set for 4k, lost a 14.1 set for 2k, and won a 9 ball set for 1k against a second opponent.

Played him a couple of times.
He has unlimited confidence in himself at the table. If you have skills at the table then you know that unlimited confidence can take you far. You can take what the table gives you because you already know that you're going to pocket the ball.

I had never seen him play before. He looks and strokes like a banger but can get the job done.

His current opponent is a 691 and Kenny’s winning 9-3. Does the opponent not play for money or something? Ouch.

Well the 2 young men with dates came into the pool room. Sounds like a joke.
So anyway with more than a dozen pool tables of the whole spectrum from 7 to 10 foot, no wait there was 1 10 foot Diamond (My table). It was adjacent the 10 foot snooker then the Billiards table.
So them wantin' to impress the young ladies. They picked the biggest one. Well they first set the balls on the Billiards table and shopped the wall for cues. Giggles I stopped my practice for the show.
Well the girls noticed first. (Of course ). Well they moved to the snooker table next.
Being an Ambassador to the game. I gently explained the difficulty of the table and especially with oversize balls. "I respect the skills that You must possess to select such a challenge. Perhaps an easier table would be better for the girls. THEM being New to pool and all."

Still, if you loan a pool player money, that is not a loan. That's 100000% a gift. If you don't know that, you are a big time sucker.

Who won? Was that a red label Oak Professional from 1999? hahaha. Maybe the other guy thought he'd have an edge on that over Kenny. There were a bunch of these tables in Philly over the years. Kenny knows how to play on them.

Who got the lesson?
Did he need the 8 And the breaks?
My opener was, "I pay for lessons." Followed by, "Of course I charge for them too."
My favorite lesson at 20 per hour was....."you don't play good enough to give weight." Backward Jan taught me well.
