Did they wear masks at the Hardtimes Tournament?:grin-square:That certainly wasn't New York, who talked a lot....as New Yorkers do.

The last road player that came through town was headed to Kentucky with a laminated $10 bill. He made a killing at laundromats and car washes, but would still gamble at 9 ball with big bags of quarters.

I still don't get the supposed etiquette of this. Someone who plays pro speed or even shortstop speed comes to town, likely under a false name, trying to hide their speed. Maybe they ask for (and get) weight against someone they could crush even.
And we are supposed to respect their action and criticize anyone who says "why are you giving the 7 ball to Jesse Bowman, the best bar table player in the country" (and I'm just picking his name because it was earlier in the thread)?
