Cards Bucktooth still gambles but mainly plays cards. He did have a jewelry store and real estate that kept him quite wealthy. Hasnt played a ton of pool in the last 10-15 years but he does show up at some tournaments once in a while but he does play cards. was always fun watching him woof

Did David beat buddy with the small ball? I seem to remember Buddy saying that David would only play him with the big ball. I didnt get to see them play in their primes but have heard many of those champions talk about Keith and they said he was Scary Good-- especially at an early age. CJ--...

Hi JAM, Can you ask Keith if he every played Vera Cruz at all. I know he played most of the mexican champions in so cal and was wondered if he had any stories about Vera Cruz. thanks

Fatboy, Jay, and SJ Dick Here were some California players that I havent seen in quite a bit. Any stories about then and where they are now? Rusty Jones-- old timer that played in San Fancisco and heard would bet a ton-- dont think he is still around. Little Buddy-- philipino I believe that...

Heard that George Boland aka Little George of Fresno died last month. Didnt hear any details and hadnt seen him around for years. Was a good local player at one time...especially when he was about 12 years old when he could consistently run 100 plus playing straight pool. Jay wrote about...

Gamble He has a great stance and was very serious when he played. Gambling for the cash- only the very top players (who where gamblers as well) would beat him (Parica,Keith, Buddy, Effren). Jay--as far as gambling (during his prime) how would you rank him?

Who Got Better? How did they get better? What made them better?

10 Ball He did take it to Effren and made him play 10ball instead of 9 ball--so dont think Buddy couldnt play 10 ball. Bar table with the regular sized cueball was also a game that he excelled at. Shane vs Buddy would be a good match--

Do you really expect to be paid? Take KY's advice and get into action. Do you really think you are going to be paid? Ask his old partner from the Cue Club in San Francisco--Paul Brienza-- if he thinks anyone will get paid. there is a history of money coming up short- so it surprises me...

Big Black Mark It is definitely a big black mark but considering the same party in question had some questionable things happen at the end of the Cue Club reign in SF it isnt really surprising is it?

Lil Al and Tim Scruggs made a great one as well

What Games and Tourney or Gambling Chris, a very strong list but I think it depends on what games and whether it is tourney or for cash. I think Effren (who played these guys even when he was past his prime), Parica, and Buddy would be the betting favorites against most on this list in 9 ball...

Agreed Fatboy, I totally agree with your posts on this. Unless you were there at the match then you can't really comment. I was lucky to be there and it was a great environment for the Cup. Probably wasnt the best environment for our team because the European fans were very loud and went...

Keith lit up San Francisco with Action One thing I can say is that Keith is and was all about Action. He came to San Francisco in the early to mid 90's and stayed for about a year and I can tell you that he created a ton of action in that city. I saw him play Kim Davenport getting the last...

on my way thats what I will do--just hop on a plane and go ask him-- if it isnt a dump then why cant you tell us all why he lost
