    Unknown "monster" players

    I met Wldon when I was young, about 25 and noticed everyone got quiet when he walked in back in Denver. He got ito a 9 ball game but I just do not remeber who it was. He and CJ were pretty tight and he could shed a lot more light on him.

    Gambling can help your game

    IMo people play for various reasons and realize pressure for various reasons. It seems to be up to the individual. I had a very good friend who had world class talent but for $50.00 cpu;d mpt beat MCGoo. His eyes would rollup in his sockets and miss 9 balls harder to miss than make. Some could...

    The day the fortunes of pool reversed?

    Iunderstand and repect yur stance here, but i do not agree. When around larger events and player gather and talk about olden days this topic never comes up and most of the younger players, really know nothing about it. It seems to me, we are the ones who will not let it die and go away. Danny...

    How to promote a tournament.....

    Often there is no rhyme or reason except that maybe the calcutta is a reason to have the tournament. If not, 112 players would leave broke.

    entry fees+added money-TD fee-greens fee=really?

    Well that is rare and good for him/ Not many can run a tournament much less structure one. I did not think we were talking about weekly torurnaments though. Even if, the more they can pocket. the better for the owner, right?
