most of the very top players played so close in speed that who was on or had the best drugs that day won and who was also getting the most good rolls.

the best money players are the ones that chose wisely who and when to play, and kept their winnings. the suckers no matter how good they were found a way to get broke. ego is a bad thing in gambling.

but very few really made enough overall to cover their life expenses so most were doomed to stay broke.

here are a few that won and kept it most times some also had outside income

beenie, bucktooth, weldon rogers, bill stroud, uj pucket, hubert cokes, fusco, norm hitchcock, joey speath, country.

The food on the table one can also be used for the defense against domestic enemies. Just sayin'

New Coke was introduced to mask the switch from sugar to HFCS. It was a big enough taste difference that a diversion was needed. It failed on purpose.

I believe that an exhibition with Rogan and someone like Fedor against two other players or a top player and another celebrity that plays would be the biggest bang for the buck.

That said, whatever capacity that Joe Rogan is involved in pool will be a positive one.

Bergman has been playing stellar and the story of him not competing at a high level for so long and then doing as well as he has after coming back is a huge draw. His should be on table 1 and I'm rooting for him to win this.

Yeah he already beat Josh Filler, he deserves it

all tables are a little different. hurts in one pocket. especially if they bank short as a hard shot sends it back to the opponents pocket instead of just away.

and the diamonds with worn cloth, react crazy sometimes when you hit cross table 3 or 4 rails. sometimes they reverse a lot on the 3rd rail or 4th and sometimes they just go straight.

sometimes they bounce on certain tables and all bets are off.

and with the tighter pockets speed control is more important, as diamonds shorten more than gold crowns on hard shots.

and hitting a little harder you are punished more if you hit short than long as it goes right for the opponents pocket or close, even with angle.

9 ball players don't have issues as much as most shots are, goes in or not.

do you guess i don't like diamonds for one pocket?

Nope.... I prefer root beer.

So Gorst-Yapp is on table 9, whilst Bergman-Martinez is on table 1.

I know JB is popular in St Louis, but that is ridiculous.
