He was a very strong player out of the MD/VA area. Back in the 90s and early 2000s he could be found gambling for big $$$, sometimes with Danny Green at various rooms.
What happened to him?

He quit his job as a beer truck driver & married a woman who owned a pool hall. That didn't work out & he divorced & remarried another woman who made him get a job again. He's driving some other kind of truck now & still gets out to play 1 pocket now and again. A really strong player.
Down on the southern end of MD, right?
What is the pool scene like on tha side of the creek?
Chris was playing some 9ball a few years ago (time flies) maybe 5 years ago give or take in fast eddies Alexandria , and more recently (still a few years ago) in fast eddies Springfield. He was hitting them pretty good against some serious talent.
His stroke was amongst the smoothest I have ever seen.!

I retired him
Truly sad really. The only place with big tracks is Hard Times & they are the most bizarre playing tables I've ever played on. I venture north to the Hat to play.
There is a hard times in Fredericksburg that has some really weird diamonds too. Like the bed speed is 1/2 normal, but there rails are 3x faster.
I remember years ago my buddy and I had a few rooms we'd hit off the highway and down toward Waldorf. Seems there was a room every 5-10 mi down there, all of the main road (rt5?).
You bully...
Must have been awhile ago 10+ years. I can only remember 1 pool room down there going that far back??
Definitely way more than 10 yr ago.
By any chance do my a remember the restaurant that had all those slot machines everywhere ( before casino were legalized )? Supposedly they had been " grandfathered in and the only place in MD allowed to have them
Naw. Not my kind of scene, so it prob wouldn't have been anything of note to me, if I saw it anyway.
Ya they got a few players over there who play pretty sporty
In fact I just left there and Illir was playing Chris Loar getting 8-7 100 a game

Was one of them "Howard's" in Waldorf? Wow that was 13 years ago.
Been awhile but that sounds familiar. Thanks, it was just coo, with all the slots they had eveywhere. One side was a rest, the other the bar.
Yes, Howards.
Dammit. Then Chris is gonna win my money!
No, but I forgot about that place. Place I'm talking about wasn't far from the oldest church in the country - St Mary's from the 1600's.
Pretty sure it was on 4 or 5
