    One pocket match Allen vs Diliberto

    That runs parallel to Coles business associate that resided at the Vegas MGM. As his driver I got the story of how and why he could get released with a phone call. 🤷‍♂️ Well for a while. 🤷‍♂️

    Practice what I Preach

    The break should have whitey popping straight back and sitting ... .uh about 8 inches on a bar box. 🤷‍♂️ Simple shot for the grass hopper.

    3 ball is a favorite morning workout. 3 ball / kick 'em was my broke ass practice. Kicks Like A Mule became my ring game name. 🤷‍♂️

    What's your favorite pool memory from 2025?

    Well 2025 has been a year for finding pleasure in small things. The fun part was finding a local $5 eight ball tournament. The funny part was first place money didn't cover my bar tab. 🤷‍♂️ Meeting and making new friends made it fun. Happy holidays.

    One pocket match Allen vs Diliberto

    He was seated next to the deep pockets owner as I was working. The owner thought of my opponent as a house man and favored him against me. Ronnie could have made a sweat bet. He obviously followed the "not in on it don't bet", method. 🤷‍♂️ At the loan request I told him, "I neither borrow or...

    The way Racetrack told me was that in an Arizona match Ronnie had an agent booking side bets and giving signals for who should win each game.

    One pocket match Allen vs Diliberto

    That was the standard bet with Harry. He got a different spot from different pro players. He kept a stable of players in Seattle. He kept them in shape by making them empty their pockets and that was the bet. Cole was the player that Harry under rated and only got a one ball spot. 🤷‍♂️ I...

    One pocket match Allen vs Diliberto

    That was the 411 on Ronnie! I was told by Racetrack Rick, "if your not in on it, Don't bet.." I giggled when told the story of the owner of The Down Under in Chico backing Ronnie against The Monk playing one handed. They put on a great show . The owner financed the show. 🤷‍♂️ I explained...

    Why put a rose on a cue?

    Admire the beauty of the rose and be aware of the pain that the thorns can inflict.

    Hard to Find the Center of the Cue Ball

    That's definitely a Huh? Headscratch, for Me. 🤷‍♂️ My choice of bank over cut is often tipped to bank due to the natural shape. As a rule my banks are a fuller hit on the object ball. I can be more accurate with the final resting place for whitey when the interaction of the cueball and object...
