Is Mike playing in any tournaments anymore? I know he's had his troubles,
but I really enjoyed watching him play, and I hope his pool career isn't over.
 
He is playing and planing on making the Mosconi cup team this year. He was on facebook live a few nights ago with a Q an A forum.
 
Assuming SVB makes it on the Mosconi team again, this should be interesting. I imagine SVB has forgiven Mike by now for the kerfuffle two years ago.
 
I look forward to seeing Mike play this week in the Turning Stone Joss event. They installed new double-wide doors in the event center to accommodate his head.
 
I know he was taking a break but the last tournament I remember him in was the event in New York right before the us open and the field was basically like a small open consisting of plenty of world class talent and mike won that event which was a tremendous accomplishment

I like the joke, but isn't Mike banned from that tour? Everyone I've met and played with in New England thinks he's a total jerkoff.

I get that Deschaine blows his cool - any links? I've seen some of his matches - he's a good shot. Just haven't seen him blow up.
 
I seen a post on Facebook, Mike was looking for someone that needs a roommate at the DCC.
 
Give him a chance. People do change. He said he's coming back to compete, so only time will tell how he's going to behave.

Except the problem is he blamed his current situation on alcohol. Alcohol just makes the problem worse. So he had his attitude problems before he started drinking and still doesn't acknowledge what the real problem is. He needs help, but as long as he points to something else and not himself, he will not change.
 
I personally have only good things to say about Mike. He's always been nice to me and has been professional. We went out to dinner and he mentioned that if I was a pro player we wouldn't get along, because he hates to lose. Hating to lose isn't a bad way to feel being an athlete. He's a person like everyone else.

How many others act that way? SvB? Corey? Johnny?

I personally listened to him plan a dump against a guy like you. He preys on his fans.
