    Pawn Stars

    They have my book in the shop and every once in a while you can see it on the shelf behind the old man. I have offered to appear as a cue expert on the show if they ever get a good one. I also screen tested to star in a reality show for the History Channel, but it never got off the ground.

    Tony Annigoni suicide

    The Golden Gate Bridge is the most common suicide destination in the world. People actually travel from all over the world to jump off. There are many cameras placed on the bridge to capture what happens, and there are many videographers who stake it out to capture footage. They even made a...

    The Manila Mauler

    Max Eberle and I were in General Santos City for one of Manny Pacquiao's tournaments about 5 years ago. We had a taxi driver who recognized Max from television and he challenged us to a Scotch doubles game against him and another taxi driver. We played on an old table under a roof with no...

    My best friend from Bangkok ordered a cue from Laurie when we visited the shop together in 2005. She shipped it to me and I delivered it to him a couple of years ago in 2019. 14 years...

    Gorst vs Bergman

    I was tableside yesterday watching live. I could not hear what the commentators said but I have my own opinions. Gorst was breaking the 1 ball in the left side pocket very consitently and placing the 2 on the bottom of the rack so it went 3 rails to the upper left side of the table, usually...

    The run is legit and the show is fantastic. Go see it if you get the chance.

    I've watched John's entire 434-ball run for the 3rd time now. Still marvel how instantly he recognizes & achieves near-perfect position

    If you get a chance to see John's live showing of his record 626 run, go. You will love it :)

    How do you prepare for a tournament

    If they lag for the break, practice your lag.

    Best time is before the tournament. Get there as early as you can and be in stroke on those tables when it starts...

    How do you prepare for a tournament

    The most important thing is to practice ahead on the actual equipment you will be playing on. Adjusting to the equipment is not something you want to do during matches.

    All Time Junior Player Rankings

    15-20 years ago one of the backers in Bangkok brought over a teenager from Taiwan to play money games with the locals. He was giving huge spots and destroying everybody. He offered me the 6 out + the break, which I don't think Efren could have given me at the time, and I'm sure he wouldn't...

    I knew them when???????

    About 15 years ago I finished 3rd in a Joss tour event and there had also been a junior event going on at the same time. One of the junior players came up to me and asked if I wanted to gamble. We ended up playing $20 races to 5 at 9 Ball and I won 2 sets & he quit. I could tell he was gonna...

    Viewing of John Schmidt's 626 straight pool run

    The event was fantastic. It was as exciting as sweating a great match, but it is an achievement beyond that, and you are interacting with the guy who did it as you watch. He explains key shots and how his emotions almost cripple him from getting over the hurdle. He also tells his back story...
