Question about Jose Parica

[Black-Balled]

Taylor was a familiar face in the DC action rooms, according to the fish tales the old timers shared when I was growing up.

The same folks said while he was solid at all games, his non-banks games weren't at the level where he could tangle with the best there.

just because one person doesnt play another doesnt mean he is scared of him or cant beat him. lots of reasons why. one it may hurt future action. he may not lose enough . he may play too slow. or its too close to make enough and not worth while.

many would challenge a person who they know didnt want to play, to build their ego or make themselves look good. that went on all the time.

eddie was the best that ever lived at banks. no contest. he wasnt a high stakes gambler. but he did bet and made a living at pool. nice guy. i played him once. but he was also older than most of the players at the time.

few could beat him at 9 ball shootout as he would push out to tough banks that they had no chance of making and were almost a hanger for him.
but yea he wasnt in the very top of players at that time . so what.
