SAJ used to have Reed Pierce and Mark Cavalier as his 2 sneak up on somebody players. Funny for how good Reed plays/played, he could sneak around and play for big $$$.

How good was Mark Cavalier. I played him once in a 9 ball tournament, hill-hill, Mark missed the 8 ball so bad it went three rails in a hole and had straight in on the 9. God, I hate 9 ball

Birmingham has had a few Road Show biggies.

He could get it for sure. High gambling speed for the $$$, SAJ brought him in all across the country, and so many people had no idea what he looked like but he played strong shortstop speed, maybe a bit higher.

From a Google Maps review of The Corner Pocket:

The amount of illegal betting taking place at the pool tables is unsettling. How the Mississippi Gaming Commission has not gotten involved is unclear to me. You can sit anywhere near the tables and clearly see cash changing hands, open table betting and gambling on shots. While you cannot control everything at a venue, the establishment doesn’t seem to care if betting is taking place. Be careful visiting.​

​

Sounds like my kind of pool hall/restaurant. You get entertainment with your burger. I wonder if they lost a proposition bet.

Directions pleez!!

I don’t understand Digital Pool. I enter Mississippi open and nothing comes up. If I just put in 9 ball all kinds of tournaments show up except what I’m looking for. They need a better search engine.

I initiated a Wikipedia article on Reed Pierce. It needs to be updated. A while back, Reed Pierce and his brother, Ronnie, owned an upscale billiards sports bar and restaurant, bearing Reed Pierce's name in Byram, Mississippi. Inside the restaurant is an actual pool room named 9-Ball Lounge, and it had eight Diamond regulation-size pool tables.

Reed did win the US Open 9-Ball Championship in 1995, defeating Efren Reyes, 11-6, who won it the year before. Billy Incardona and Grady Mathes in the commentary booth. It nice to see him enjoying pool again.

Can you explain what a regulation pool table is? Bar box, several different size 8’ tables, 9’ table. I can’t tell you how many pool halls I’ve called over the years and they tell me “regulation”. Sorry but there’s no such thing as regulation table. Corner Pocket says they have Diamond regulation tables, whatever that means. I just wish people would just say 7, 8, or 9 foot tables. Sorry, it’s just a pet peeve of mine.

A regulation table is one that is twice as long as it is wide and then some stuff about pockets and cushion angles. I believe for the most part that's how most tables are built. It seems that most people think that "regulation" refers to size of the table, i.e. whatever size table they happen to have for sale is the "regulation size".

Regulation is twice as long as wide.
