Cole Dickson's practice session routine

Here's my one and only tall tale for a short stack. I once played a guy $5 9-Ball off and on (breaks to rest and to eat) for almost three days. Every time he ran out of money he would leave and come back maybe thirty minutes later with another 50 or a 100. I ended up winning about $300 all told. I was informed later that he had gone out and robbed a local gas station or other small business each time to get more money.

I once lost 200 at $5 a game. I can't recall how long it took but I'm going to say three or four hours. I wasn't playing bad; I just caught someone in dead stroke on an old GC with buckets. It seems like every few games, I got up to a kick shot. We (me) were paying after every 4 games. That was kind of sneaky because I didn't realize how much I was losing until I gave him my last $20.

A.E Schmidt tables

I grew up about an hour from St. Louis and the first pool hall I played in was in Fairview Heights IL, just across the river. They had a bunch of furniture style AE Schmidt tables, mostly 8s and I think a couple of 9s. Normally I'm pretty anti furniture style tables in a commercial setting, but they seemed to hold up great. I wasn't an experienced player at the time (30 plus years ago), but remember thinking I'd love to have one in my house.

What can every tell me about A.E Schmidt tables? Are these more furniture tables?

As a side note, AES made Harold Worst cues in the 1960s. They had ribbed plastic wraps, were solid maple and cost $13.00-ish. You couldn’t go to any pool hall in STL without seeing a few.

SJM at the 2025 International Open

For starters, the WNT Florida Open was the best new event in 2025. Second, Orlando has proven a great city for pro pool, hosting what I believe was the best ever Mosconi Cup in 2024 as well as the superb 2025 Florida Open.

The World 9ball pays 250/100/50/25, so 550K to the top 8. Your structure of 250/150/100/75 would pay 900K to the top 8, and yet you say you don't want the payout to be top heavy. You also want to pay more to the lower finishers, so in the end, you are probably doubling the total payout. Where exactly is all this extra money coming from?

I think the middle of the US is better for all, ands probably why MR and TX have been mentioned. Move it.
Seems like there are not many events worldwide, equivalent of the Open.
I'd like to see the best Chinese players show up, all of em like the pinoys, is the Asian money better? I've heard it was.
Yeah Stu, Saudi money was different, but I don't see That Dollar situation happening with Any other events.
How longs it been since the first MR US Open?
Been many yrs now.
I'm itcin' for more Finals like Kaci/Gorst.

i liked the earl in the barn story the best, the way billy told it it almost felt you were there. billy's really great.

i've heard some version of it before, but it seems there are conflicting endings depending if you ask billy, earl or mike?

Thanks! We've already had Sigel on to tell his version. Our plan is to get Earl's version and then get the three of them together to tell it. I think that would be a keeper!
