Ok....I am in that, plus the Open and Wednesday Warmup. If he wants to gamble I will be lurking all my free hours in the practice area. I can steer him to fair games because i know most of the regular champions.He can text me

We can play $500 a set if I don't go broke before he gets to me!

I may not have explained this clearly before, so let me try again.

What is improving is the number of events happening on American soil. For U.S. players, that matters. Traveling domestically is far less expensive than flying to Europe or Asia, and that alone can make a real difference in a player’s bottom line. If more American pros can stay competitive, and even profitable, because they’re not burning money on international travel, that’s a positive step.

Yes, some players supplement income through cue deals, raffles, and auctions with sponsor products. But let’s be honest. That’s not the same as cash in hand.

At the end of the day, the real issue is payouts. “Build it, and they will come” only works if the numbers make sense. Right now, they don’t. A true full-time professional who consistently turns a profit in pool is still the exception, not the rule. And when you factor in that the cost of living has skyrocketed over the decades, it’s hard to argue that payouts have kept pace.

That said, if players can reduce expenses, the way Finland's Arseni does, and find a way to stay in the black without chasing events all over the world, that’s a step in the right direction.
