    Photos from pool tournaments in the 1980s

    I don't blame you. Before Smugmug changed its format, we had 298 posted comments, many of which were very informative. But with this new format, we will probably get very few additional comments. If you or any other AZ poster wants to put a comment on a photo, you can just PM it to me and I'll...

    Photos from pool tournaments in the 1980s

    Problem with leaving comments on photos or galleries After spending over two hours trying to make it possible for visitors to leave comments on the photos in our galleries I finally found this statement in the Smugmug help section. "To protect your site from spammers, visitors are required to...

    Photos from pool tournaments in the 1980s

    I just emailed Mike Haines, who took the photos at the Las Vegas tournament, to ask if he is sure it was Sigel. I remember interviewing Sigel in 1980 and he didn't have a beard. Guess he could have just shaved it off.

    I think the name of the pool room was Forest Park Billiards. Owned by Joe Burns.

    Photos from pool tournaments in the 1980s

    Wow, when I first looked at the image I thought, "sure that's Sigel," but when I looked at his images in that Florida Open gallery, from a tournament that same year, I started to doubt that the Las Vegas images were Sigel. I don't recall him ever having a full beard like the person in those...

    Photos from pool tournaments in the 1980s

    Which photo are you referring to as not looking like Mike Sigel? Which gallery and the number of the photo in the gallery? I'd better check on the inability to make a comment because one of the main reasons I leave those galleries online is to get comments that identify people in the photos and...

    Photos from pool tournaments in the 1980s

    I'll let Mike speak for himself if he wants (I just sent him a link to this thread). As for me, I'm an old, retired college professor. Back in the 1960s I spent all night, every night at Cotton Bowling Palace in Dallas, TX. Cotton Palace, at that time, was the late night gathering place for many...

    Photos from pool tournaments in the 1980s

    I'm sure that many long-time members of AZ Billiards are familiar with my photo hosting Website containing several hundred images of pool tournaments in the 1980s. The site (Smugmug.com) was recently "remodeled" and I had to spend a few days getting the images reorganized. I like the new design...

    Help me settle a bet

    The amount of money was not significant, it was mostly male pride at stake. And it wasn't even my male pride, but that of an old friend.

    Help me settle a bet

    Thanks! Much thanks to mikeyfrost, briankenobi, and StraightPoolUI for their help on this question. Some guys were watching a One Pocket match on PPV last week and were saying that it was being played on a 10 foot table. I was almost certain that they were wrong and you guys have cleared it up...

    C J Wylie controversy and TOI

    Maybe this is what Dick Lane was talking about CJ, I am sure you know Dick Lane. For those who don't, Dick was a VERY strong player, literally world championship level at straight pool and pro level at all pool games. I've known Dick for many years, although I haven't seen him since he dropped...
