I found a couple of interesting tidbits by Googling the address. 1. The home is one of the 50 largest private residences in the U.S...

I read on another site that Shane V. played Tony Chohan $400 a game one hole with 9-7 and a coach. Shane wins $1600. Haven't heard much about Shane playing one hole. Can anyone tell me what his game is like. Thanks Scotty G.

Win some , Lose some. While in Olathe at Shooters I watched Chad W. from Minnesota beat a gentleman named Terry from St.Louis?? out of about $35,000 playing 9-ball. The next night Chad lost about $40,000 to Allen Hopkins throwing quarters closest to the wall. Grady was there that night and...

What is Ho Interactive? I've checked on Google and can't find a mention of the company other than in billiard websites. scott

What would the Affiliate program be considered, MLM or a pyrimad scheme? You would get $20 for every person you sign up, if they pay for a year of service. This is what KT is hawking on the home page of IPT. Nothing about upcoming Chicago tournament except for buy tickets. scott

Thanks chiefseabee. Could you tell me what player speedwise he would compare to today. scott

Jimmy Wetch started playing when he was 13/14 in the same pool room as me. By the time he was 16 he was beating everyone in the cities. Shortly after he went on the road with Dave Yeager, I believe he was from Iowa. Can anybody tell me how good a player Dave Yeager was. This would have been in...

This concept may not work with the IPT but something needs to be done to attract more interest. Either I'm...

More like a happy marriage between a coin flip and a race to 10. Skill will still play a part in the outcome. scott

I wouldn't watch either. I like the way the tournament is now. My suggestion would be to try and get the 95% or more of non-pool watchers to watch. I think KT is trying to tap into a greater market than just pool fans. Pool has never gotten a huge tv viewership in its current style. This...

Thanks- ribdoner.

I watched Grady and Billy play quite a few years ago in Olathe. Mark Betor wanted to see some action so he told them to play for $2000/3000. They were on the hill with Billy up 6-2 in balls. He tried a long bank with the object ball almost frozen to the rail, double kissed it and sold out. Grady...

I think the IPT was trying to create a buzz in the pool world like happened with poker. When a couple of unknowns won millions at the WSOP, thousands of poker players jumped on the bandwagon and made poker a huge moneymaker (pardon the pun). The IPT needs to create a tournament format that...
