This goes back about a 2 weeks ago. I've been playing with Jesse Engle every chance I get to get ready for this tourny.
Then for the last 4 or 5 days he's been in action at Jimmy's Pro billiards playing Jimmy Wetch. Jesse is 17 by the way.
I've worked with jesse a little on the Perfect aim but he was shooting real good before that also.
At the same time I'm playing Jr , an up and coming little monster and giving him a spot which makes it even tougher. We battled for about 3 or 4 days.
I think jesse played for 2 days.
After everything was said and done I told Jr and Jesse that I wouldn't be surprised if it would be me and one of them or both of them playing for the hotseat if not playing in the final.
This is not an easy tournament. there are alot of great players here. Too many to name.
it just so happens also that Jesse and me are sharing a room.
Well my prediction came true, at least the first part. It will be Jesse Engle, the 17 year old pheonom playing this old man for the hot set in the big table 9-ball.
jesse did his homework well. He earned where he is at by what he did in the last 2 weeks. I know what needs to be done to get there. I pointed this out to Jesse that he deserved to be where he is by how he prepared. Most of the time the tournament actually starts 1 or 2 weeks before the first day of the actual tournament.
But you can still do everything right and it might still not go your way but when it does it's not an accident when your ready..........
And by the way. Jesses also a real nice kid. We need this young blood in our pool world.
Jr wasn't so fortuanate but he will get there also. He plays too good to not get there soon.
Jesse and myself play at 7:00 tonight. No matter what happens it is a win win situation. I hope I win of course but I hope it's a great little battle. I feel this is the honing of a champion. This will be a kodack moment in time. This is what the game and competition is all about.
The Perfect sineario would be Jesse and myself in the final.
It could happen.............
Oh, and keep it quiet. If my therapy guy knew I was playing pool he would skin me alive.
