You dont understand your own writing then! You asked in this post by you, what did i think, that he was doing this out of charity? Since i started the thread, your response is bashing me. Stupid really, because i said the promoter should make money. Obviously you dont understand what you read...

well some of you, leehayes, smoothstroke, illgotten gain, and alstl and maybe a couple more, don't comprehend what you read, or put words or meanings in my mouth, that I didn't say! first, reread my original post, I didn't call allen bad names or say anything bad about the event at all, other...

I don't believe I stated it was easy sir, nor did I say I wanted to run a tournament. you should reread my post because obviously you missed some things. lol 90% of the replies must be people who are on allen's public relations payroll... lol just kidding. first off, I wasn't or didn't...

so was thinking of going to this tourny and was checking out payouts, and all I can say is wow! SENIOR EVENT.... 365players @ 75.00 = 27,375.00 1-4th ..6,500 5-8... 2,800 9-16th. 2,000...

anybody know george peacock? plays good bar table pool. from chicago area I believe.

its better doing the points, you need to imploy a different strategy dude. you have to think about shooting those shots that are an iffy proposition, cuz if you miss your going to give up a lot of points! so you play defense instead. combos are not worth going for unless its the only option to...

i understand what your saying, but thats not the point i was making. Your point is that it was disclosed on entry. My point is that the payout for 1st is low for the amount of players, and while allan deserves to make money, i'd be willing to bet theres a huge difference in what was taken in...

Richie richeson is considered an amateur player? really?

Its amazing that you have 979 players in the open amateur division and 1st place is only $5,000. just saying

thanks for all responses, mixed bag for sure, I know the pool world is a weird one, and isn't like golf, or tennis for that matter with regards to what constitutes a pro. but there are a lot of players who only play pool for a living. some augment there income by giving lessons, some by...

simple?? Don't think it's quite that simple. A player that has a full time job, and plays sparingly is not going to consistently beat a player who plays everyday for a living. That player might win a set, but over the long run is way the underdog. Top level amateurs could beat a pro 1 set...

this thread doesn't exactly cover my situation or question. This is why this is called a forum blackballed. To elicit responses from other people, if you don't care for the thread i posted, it's very simple, don't open it! That way your not annoyed, and the rest of us interested in other peoples...

agree with you inside english! Blackballed is a little out of line i think. I guess i can't ask a question without a negative response from someone. Another thread does not exactly address my questions. While there is technically no mens actual tour, some form of mens association just...

I think people throw this label out without thinking. I am a good regional player, in pool terms, a good shortstop. I used to play on the florida tour 5 years ago and had some success. I have always had a job, pool is just a hobby for me, it has never been the only source of income. lol I would...

livingstons just moved to a new location is all , behind hooters on u.s 41. about 2 miles north of old location. no players hangout there though.

he missed a 6 ball he normally wouldn't, then he loses the match, of course the guy is getting some rolls after that, pool god punishing you for missing the 6. this may sound funny, but its true, and has happened to everyone. no, he dont have to be happy, but he can have some class about...

people are just not supporting pool this day in age period, that is just the way it is now, like it or not. we have the same problem in my area getting small tourny turnout. 20 yrs ago was a different story. as far as allens tourny, my point was that if you cash in 17-32, that pays 325. my...

256 players @ 100 =25'600 paying out 17'700 based on full field, no money added, just 7900 taken out of purse. not a good deal at all to me.

I worked in jersey a few yrs ago , it was no smoking in bars and pool halls. it was great coming home not wreaking of smoke, and the people that did smoke went outside when the urge hit them ( winter time too ) to light up. places were packed, smokers adapted, non smokers were happy, win win...

aaaah, now it makes sense why you dogged me so much about my opinion of diamond tables, you work for them! your biased because of that fact. you know what, I don't have a problem with you standing tall for diamond, you should, you work for them and believe their the best table. what you should...
