Perfect example here. Surviving and succeeding in the face of extreme adversity. Nice post.

I have seen many things written on this subject on this forum. I'll make my situation short and sweet. According to my doctor I am not a candidate for lasik surgery. I feel that I can see the balls correctly (whether cue ball or object ball) from 3 to 4 feet. From inside 3 feet things begin to...

Marshall Carpenter turned 79 today. Happy birthday "Squirrel".

Break and run videos Good shooting mjantti! I have some questions for you if you don't mind. 1)Where does 14.1 rank in popularity to other pool games in your country? 2) What kind of equipment are you playing on? It looks like pretty good stuff on your video. 3) What was your camera/video...

Most knowledgeable posters Don't forget Jay Helfert. I am exagerating a little for purposes of emphasis, but he has been everywhere, seen everything, forgotten more than most of us will ever hear about, and, most importantly, tells it like is was and is! Jon

"Squirrel" is glad to hear that "Ugly Dave" is still alive and kicking! A lot of the characters from the past are not. He would like to add to the original post that, should there be any aspiring one-pocket players (young, old and "in between) that would like to learn more about the game, he is...

Matt, "Squirrel" remembers your friend "Ugly Dave" from one of the pool rooms in Nashville. He also remembers him running around more with another friend of his by the name of Walter "Nubby" Archie, who he still keeps in touch with. Squirrel hasn't seen or heard from "Ugly Dave" since he left...

I'll have to get back to you on this Matt. Thanks for the post!

"Squirrel" says he wants to play some one-pocket! He says he'll play anyone over 75 years old. (He is 78, born February 9, 1928).

What is the best gambling match you have ever seen? (continuation from previous post) 4) This is all normal stuff that we all deal with in our everday lives. We all have misunderstandings and disagreements (both personal and in business). I believe that a persons true character can be seen in...

What is the best gambling match you have ever seen? This message is for who ever cares to listen. I am knew to this forum and for this reason my thoughts might not be of interest to many of you. Nevertheless, I would like to mention the following: 1) The Az Billiards Forum appears to me to be...

This question is for AzHousePro (or anyone else too!). Efren's match (to go down 10-1 and win from that deficit) and the "Archer/Schmidt" match (11-0) seem a bit unusual for players of their caliber in an alternating break format. Does your friend know if there were unusal playing conditions...

Great article Bill! Hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did. Thanks!

Who is this guy? I spoke briefly with this guy at 06 Derby City but did not get his name. We, along with others, were discussing "Titanic Thompson" stories. This man had or was writing a book about him. I was told later that he was from New York (lived on Long Island), loved pool and loved to...
