Not good to make enemies. Had a good friend and someone knocked on his front door and shot him on the head. I don't like loose ends.

I think the funniest thing I saw though was I used to cover my own tables. I was in the process of covering a table and I hadn't put the rails back on yet it was just the green cloth. A group come in and got a rack of balls and went over to that table and put the balls on the table and began to...

I had a bar in my pool room and I once asked a kid for an ID. And he shows me a picture of himself. And the guy standing next to him said he asked you for an ID not your IQ. That just seems so funny at the time.

I watch this video and it made me think. Pool players are mostly individuals and not really team players. It might account for why nobody really cares anything about the Mosconi cup.

At one time the big G was found in some rooms. You could buy them out the door for around $600.00 to $800.00. Had a friend opened a place and bought 12 tables for $7000.00. over time though he swapped them out as he could afford it. Does Gandy even make tables anymore.

The one match I saw on YouTube was Strickland and Mike massey. It was horrible to watch it just looked like chaos.

It's a Gandy. The reason I posted this was it's such a crazy tournament. It's total offense with a shot clock and the matches played in two halves. You can't play safe and if the guy misses you can just keep making him shoot until you want the shot.

Does anybody know how many of these tournaments they put on?

Watch this match and see what you think of playing by these rules.

Diliberto used to have a proposition he would you play like 8 to 2 but he gets the break. He would put the cue ball about a foot from a rack and like 50% of the time or more he'd make the corner ball. Deliberto also just fooling around playing cheap not necessarily in a tournament would beat...

I think it'd be a pretty awful feeling to lay down a perfect break and uh oh a ball goes in. Now you got a break again. And on your second break the cue ball catches the end ball and sells out. I can see the point of it other than it happens so rarely and it's not like 9-ball you're an automatic...

I read over the rules. I kind of don't like that if you make a ball on the break it's a re-rack and doesn't count and you break over. I hope that doesn't become the norm.

That's funny my wife grew up right near the four seasons. When she was young they were told never to go in there and don't even go near it. Walk quick when you go by it. First time she was ever in it was with me.

Yeah Dennis did make him a cue maybe more than one. We were having the Florida tour in those days and Miz used to play on like every stop. I played him a number of times won a few lost most. He really did love to play pool. Here he is the famous Steve Mizerak traveling to the other coast of...

Used to see him regular from the late 80s till his death. All he was using was Black cues. I had to come back and edit this cuz I totally forgot about Dennis Searing. Yeah he did play with the a Searing and cue for a while.
