Your best line ever, "Where you ate steak when you were broke!" Made me laugh. Had a lot of excellent T-Bone steak dinners downstairs at the Horseshoe, thanks to that little comp ticket the floor man gave me in the poker room. They were usually good for two people as well.

Have you tried going on social media and asking for a pool mechanic there? Keep looking for that used GC and one will show up. Be patient! Out here on the left coast I see nice looking Gold Crowns on FB marketplace at least once a week. Price range can be anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000. You want...

Ah, the good old days!

Not one person in the audience! WOW, traditional ball colors, an orange five ball!! Nice to see opportunities like this for the players. Looks like the're having fun. Decent commentary by this one guy. Only so so camera work. Pretty obvious that whoever is controlling the cameras is not a pool...

In the fine print I see Non WPA sanctioned. I wonder why they felt the need to include that in there.

Stu, I've seen a multiple of rule changes over the years and the one thing that remains consistent is that the best players keep getting there in the end. And I think I know why based on what I've seen time after time. The very best players play the best under pressure and the slightly lesser...

I like it because it's real money, and not chop suey.

Interesting how most of the long time PGA tour players were blindsided last year by negotiations made in secret between the PGA Exec's and the LIV group. They damn sure didn't like that!

You are so right! Would you believe that many players were angry when they found out I was actually making money producing pool tournaments! I'll never forget that either. A few well known players came up to me and asked me if I was making more than the winner of the tournament. True that! I had...

There you go. That makes sense. Give the players a say in the future of their sport.

Thank you Stu. The bright side is that at least pool players appear to have opportunities they never had before and decisions to make that never presented themselves before. In the past it was always about grab what you can now because it's not going to last, and that's exactly what most of them...

I guess I'll add my two cents to this equation. First of all stories about great players from Houston has to include Greg Stevens, the best 9-Ball player of them all. Greg was world class plus, and only the very best players had any chance with him, until the pills wore off, usually after two to...

If and when DCC ever goes to the Four Ball rule in One Pocket is when everything will speed up. One Pocket remains the roadblock to expeditious scheduling of matches due to the excessive length of too many matches. For the naysayers, such a rule change will not change anything, except shorten...

They've tried forming Player's Associations at least five or six times in my years involved in Pool, and none of them ever lasted or accomplished much of anything. What Pool needs is something akin to the PGA Tour and it has it in the WNT. If the players stick with it and support it, they may...

I actually answered that question about a month ago. My feeling then was that the WPA had many opportunities to do something for Pool and the pro players over a period of decades, and each time it failed them. The WPA failed to protect players in disputes over non pay and late payments by...

Ha Ha. The Euro “B-Team” are still big favorites!

All this reminds me of the PGA golf tour vs. LIV golf, but on a much smaller scale. Usually in the business world competition is a good thing that means better deals for consumers. This is not the case in the sports world though. Even in the lofty world of pro golf this feud has hurt both...

Sorry

I'll do some checking in my storage.

You know I'd help you buddy. You're a special friend to me! I'm sorry to hear about all this trouble. I'm not sure how to advise you here. You may not know this but I got burned big time (well into six figures) last year in a court case over property. My lawyer dropped the ball and I got stuck...
