Update on the Des Moines pool scene

Anyone hear how the MN/Canada tournament was going?

Did anyone go to the US Open? I haven't heard much about it going on this week.
Starting to see some board chatter.

FWIW
 
Matt the US Open is for Big Table players that run racks like they are on the barbox. It also is in VA.Too far to drive to pay that much to play in a tournament that is super tough to cash in.

12 people? Damn, I bet Demi Jelatis went though. He's pretty tough.

There are some tough canadian players up there!!
 
Demetrius is at the Open, Shane (of course), Lee Heuwagen, and Jimmy Wetch. Didn't see too many other midwestern'ers.

Too bad about Morra, but I guess that's the way the ball bounces.

Definately didn't look like a full field. 216 I think. Full musta been 256.

9 ft run out demons -- I thought that meant you would be attending?? :sorry: JK

I, like others, thought there would be more board chatter on who was going, potential match ups, etc. I see there are a few more threads today since things have started up.

I hear the NC tournament that usually gets a good draw right before the Open (warm up tourny) had a low turn-out. Economy??:confused:

Playing with Mike, Jody and Pet, your game has GOT to improve. Right?:o

I golfed the best round of my life while grouped with three 'scratch + a birdie or two' golfers. Sometimes ya just gotta keep up.:grin:

Only playing with Jody helps your game. Sure playing with Pet and Athens might make you try harder and you pick up a couple better ways to shoot balls but come on man have you played with Jody? He gives you the total package. He shows you what to do(sometimes), what not to do(more of the time), and how to get out of it smoother than a baby's bottom (all the time). Also you can find a new excuses for missing shots than you ever heard because he'll provide a new one on each miss. Even better he also will undoubtedly say something hilarious which will also shark you. Then he will heckle as well. I had a little fun at his expense yesterday repeatedly calling him "the best player I've ever seen" and variants of that. Somehow it was always funny.

Clearly got a case of the Mondays, bonus point for someone who doesnt have to google that and knows what movie thats from.

Ohh yeahhhhh...Try to let me win at least one rack tonite ok? Y'all might not be ready for the heavy ball and slow cloth at square one tonite...it's 2 for 1 drinks at our bar tonite, so hell to the yeah I'll be sippin it up.
 
Jerry Yang is a pathetic poker player, just like Jamie Gold his style took people by suprise. Since winning the big one they have done nothing but bleed money off, which they will contiue to do.

Perfect for the poker world.

They won the big one though. Jerry Yang says "Meeellion" better than anyone ever. Yang and Gold got hot and rode it out to a win, but they were in the zone. At the final tables especially, they rarely got called on a bluff and always got called when they had the best of it. Just by winning the World Series, they'll never HAVE to work again. If I was those guys I'd prob never play a hand again.

Besides poker has Negraneu's game show, High Stakes Poker, WPT, WSOP, Poker After Dark, and whichever other shows I am forgetting, that's what's perfect for poker. These guys make money when they lose now, NO FAIR!
 
Those shows are goofy. HSP for example you get paid $1800 an hour, lol. Might lose $500,000 but atleast you made something for your time.
 
Everyone is always on their best behavior when Randy is in town...why is that? Inquiring minds(me) want to know.
 
Maybe they are...it was ultra peaceful last night though. Almost too peaceful. I didn't get it, made me uncomfortable lol.
