A few different winters around 15-18 yrs. ago I stayed in Venice for several weeks and playing regularly at H.O.B....played O.P. Rich, Wayne, Phil, Danny 'Shades', 'Limo' Bob, Roger, Magdy, scientist Rob, and several other guys who's names I forget....it was a great poolroom, I liked it a lot...

Actually, I've been on here all along, but just lurking, hardly ever posting...and I'm still playing/gambling 2-3 times a week - torturing/frustrating those 20-30 yr.old youngsters, putting them in traps every other inning, lol.

Agreed...and I've been playing One Pocket here in Chicago for a few decades myself > 58 yrs. now to be exact...some of those early years I played on 5x10 tables < nowadays, I sure wouldn't want to be shooting those 10 foot long shots.

Vitaliy Patsura is the champion pro player from the Ukraine < he barely got out of there with his girlfriend. IIrc, Vitaliy won the Texas Open 9 ball last year. He's a super nice young guy, living here in Chicago now, and watch out - this year he's been steadily learning One Pocket from me (y).

1,000% correct.

I hated hearing this news today...Willie was an old friend of mine, a great guy, and a great player ...we used to have some good One Pocket battles with each other back in the 80's-90's - it was Willie who gave me my nickname One Pocket Ghost...I will miss you Willie, we'll play some more when I...

also...you slept Ike Runnels and Gil Martinez.

Not many bumper pool players gamble much/will bet high...but one day last year I walked into the pool room and got real lucky = there was two fish on the bumper pool table playing each other...so I rushed over there and put my quarter up...naturally I stalled for a little while, which worked...

The proprietor's of Chris's Billiards and Adrian had issues with each other...because of that, Adrian stopped playing at Chris's about 3 years ago.
