Matt Yuhas. I think he was more active around 2006-2012 time period. Now a full time English teacher... with a pool table in his classroom!

There's always room for anyone taking the time to promote this game to anyone who might someday decide to play it because of such exposure, be it by way of wanting to do trick shots, or by way of competitiveness, or just having fun.
Even i turned from player/gambler to pool table mechanic, and still rose to the top!!

This just in:
Analyst predicts Olympic Gold Medalist Platform Diver could be beat if they competed in time/distance trials against other Olympians!
Interesting. I went back and looked at the tournament results from various tournaments in that time frame and didn't see his name. hmmm. But looking at this video he definitely can hit the shots. A pool table in the classroom is awesome!!

Always more room for seating in the peanut gallery!!
What a novel concept right?
Seats are still available
Or you don't bother with tournaments because its not guaranteed money whereas a show is. The same reason we don't compete in big pool tournaments is the same reason players like Shane or Skylar don't play in ours.
Which is the same reason you don't get cue stick endorsements, pool table endorsements, or any other manufacturer endorsement contract offeres!
I am not sure how successful he ultimately was...he does not talk about it much, but has some great Tennessee Tarzan stories. Quick google search showed where he finished 14th out 0f 30 at SBE one year...
Nah, I ain't arguing. Just sharing a neat anecdote about a former pro player turned high school teacher with a pool table in the middle of his english classroom. Here is a cool article the local paper did for those interested.

Very cool story and sounds like a great guy making a difference.
Well actually the Clowns are doing more then being funny.
Ask any REAL BULL RIDER, if they appreciate having the Clowns being there to protect the Bull Rider from harm.
The clowns have brass balls.
They have my highest respect. Zero chance Iād go play with the bulls.
Of course I didn't go back that far. lol That's awesome he finished that high in that event. That is a strong fiend too.
Actually Florian is the most sponsored player in all of pool. I think he has around 7. Most of our top players have sponsors, either cue sponsors or other. I personally have 5 sponsors including a cue sponsor.
You must not read very often. My biggest complaint about Arizona (where I live) is that nearly EVERY tournament has fargo caps. So I don't think I'm oblivious to that. Our "Champions leagues" out here let anyone play. The competition is pretty stiff. What's your fargo? If you don't have one, can you take a guess? I believe you'd be eaten alive playing in the league out here.
Nope, and I never will.
Way past Mike's prime ok, go back to the 70's & 80's.
