I edited my post. The AZBilliards posts says Mataya got the high-run award in 1970.

If he won his first big straight pool tournament in the late 1960’s, and we know he was a gambler among gamblers, it would stand a reason he made it to Johnston city, IL when living in Detroit. Even if he was living in Las Vegas, I can imagine that he would do everything he could to get to that jamboree. But I don’t know. I’m just reading somebody else’s report that he was there and that he actually got a high run award in 1970 at Johnston city

I made a mistake!, Jimmy was there in 72; he played Cole in the backroom and got BBQ'd!

He got back in his car and drove back to Detroit where he won 400K playing Barbooth at the Rack!

Both Sigel and Varner won over $100k USD in a single year for tournament winnings in the late 80’s. The 100th ranked golfer at the time also had won over $100K USD in those years as well.

The #136 ranked PGA Tour player last year won over a million $.
But they typically have approx. 10 - 20 grand per week in expenses. The top guys might average 50K / week in expenses.

Chalk brands

I used Magic Chalk for years. Adheres very well to the tip. And to CB. It’s messy.

I switched to (green) Taom V10. Super clean. Definitely kept my cue, hands and table cleaner. Only thing I didn’t like was that it was round and so it was easier to drop and if I did drop, it would roll away.

So when Pagulayan came out (made by Taom), I switched to that. I’m very happy.

I’ve also tried Turning Point 7500 (okay, but not as clean).

I like Dr V Titlist (not as clean but adheres really well to my break tip).
