The last time I saw EK was when he won the OP Tournament Grady sponsored at a casino in Reno circa 1994. It was great. Cornbread Red, EK, Bugs, Cecil, Grady and a few unknowns like me. I had known him from LA in the late 60's before he relocated to Vegas. Alcohol was his life misery and I felt...

So in One Pocket we're going to spot four more balls in the kitchen to speed the game up and in the Rotation games we're going to an alternate break format to what end? Slow the game down of course. No one wants to see racks run.

Practice is hard. I mean that to practice as you play the game and not goof off during your session. When I goof off by one or two stroking shots, not caring if I miss and not bearing down that actually hurts your game. I try to end every session by trying as hard as I can to execute the drill...

I don't think Bert would have had Eddie robbed if Eddie had beaten Fats on the the first play. Bert had a reputation to maintain. If that type of stain had been placed on Bert, he might have been ostracized in the gambling world.

I bought my first Diamond Red Label out of the Sands Regency Event in 2000. Delivered by Glen, King Cobra, a month later. Cost was $4,000.

The 4th and 5th spots on the Mosconi Cup representing the USA have been problematic for several years. Fedor, SVB and Sky are assured positions and I thought Tyler was also locked in but not so sure nowadays. Oscar, Dechane, Tyler, Wolford all look sub 800 Fargo ratings which isn't going to work...

The red liner was very popular in the late 60's - 70's. TAD and Gina made cases but it strikes me as maybe an old Harvey Martin case from the 60's. Joe Salazar could help identify this case may he rest in peace.

I complained because I had no shoes until i saw the man who had no feet.

I think the Slow Play naysayers are slowly winning over the argument except when big money action matches are taking place. No body is going to put a shot clock on T-Rex playing Dennis Ocullo for100K. Don't buy the stream if you don't like their slow play. I give this particular match as an...

You visit to Stiix Billiards was a treat for me. Happy BD Bob.

Was this a pool room event or casino based. It’s sometimes difficult to have strict dress code standards in a poolroom.

Moving the event around doesn’t make much sense to me. Maybe they’re experimenting to see what might work. Back during the Sands Regency a side event also took place adding another revenue stream for the casino. That was USPPA as it brought in another 200 players along with the main event. The...

APA just had its Nationals in Vegas. Only had 15,000 players over two weeks. The hotel made a fortune. The convention space and rooms for the tournament staff were probably free. Going to a convention arena without rooms and food on site won’t work IMO. Maybe not enough spectators and rooms were...

I forgot "Youngblood" James Brown outta Houston. He and I spent many a day driving around LA rooms looking for action. Same age 76 yrs old but he could catch a lot more action than me because he just played all the games better. One thing about him was he could always go back to the room and...

That was maybe the toughest final eight I’ve seen in a long time. Some excellant dark horses and top pros.
