My report ... Well, I spent most of the day at Hard Times and didn't see any unknown monster players, didn't see anyonw who resembles the fella in the picture and I didn't see a Ford with Arizona license plates. The big gamblers in the room were not in action. There were several older fellas...

Sensei has left the poolroom ... I knew Roy on and off for almost 30 years. There were times I wouldn't see him for years but when we met up, it was always like seeing a long lost friend. RIP, Roy.

When I saw this thread on the main forum last week, I was shocked. When I returned to the main forum later in the day and didn't see the thread anymore, I thought it was all just an elaborate hoax. What I didn't realize was that the thread had now become a "sticky". Damn, it must be true. A...

I would've guessed 1600-1700 speed. Still real strong either way.

Good luck, Mark. Why the return to the game? Did you miss it? Lacking other excitement in your life? Did you realize you were uniquely gifted for this game? Either way, welcome back.

In San Diego - College Billiards. Been there since 1962 or '63.

Aha, we can see what's going on here. You came clean too easily. This is obviously a ploy to divert our attention. But, we're not going to fall for that one, nosiree. Guys, be on the lookout for 2 unknown monster players at Hard Times next month.

That was the guy!!! I was traveling through the Valley with "Two Dollar" Don when we got into a game in Visalia. Don was matched up witu someone and a nice fella came over to talk to me. He introduced himself as Bob and said he was called to play these "road players in town". Well, a shoulder...

A couple of possibilities ... - Looks like he had an angle to draw his rock into the 11 and bumped it into the open. Or ... - This was one of the rack he couldn't get out on

Eric knew how to handle those monster cars ... Besides being a big fan of pool, Eric was an automotive enthusiast who enjoyed spirited driving of exotic cars. It was not at all about impressing the entourage. The last time I spoke to Eric he said he was planning on selling off most of his...

This is a beautiful part of coastal central California but it offers little in the way quality pool spots. There's a room in Pismo that's a converted theatre. Not far from there is a bar, called Harry's (IIRC), that used to have plenty of pool action. But don't count on it being there anymore...

Anonymous posters are afraid??? Ya know, I've used a pool moniker for nearly the whole 35 years that I've been playing pool. It's been the same with many others I've known in the pool world. Some players, I never knew their real name. Just tell me what you want to be called and I'll accept...

Well, I've successfully hijacked this thread, and didn't mean to. Sorry OP. Most of the advice you got earlier seemed reasonable and I was enjoying the responses. Then I was stunned to see Fran give her spin on anonymous posters - a subject we've seen here more than a few times. For some reason...

I'm shocked to hear this. He couldn't have been very old. I'll never forget the time he spent a few weeks in San Diego. He was a pleasure to watch. The last time I saw him play was at the Town and Country event (in SD). That might've been back in 1996. He surprised many top players, including...

Good to hear you're doing well, Eric. A thread had started up a couple of months ago asking if you were still around. Most figured you had other business going on and would eventually be back. We all need a break from the forum. I know I haven't been posting much lately but try to visit when I...

Well here I thought this was a place to exchange ideas about the game with other pool fans from around the world. Even though many here are anonymous, there are several that have built up a solid reputation. I don't need to know how well they play, what their tournament record is or how much...

Discounting anonymous advice? I'm surprised to read this from you. I've been on this forum for several years and occasionally give out advice to people who ask for it. I feel it's a service to help out people when they're struggling with their game. Several have thanked me for speaking up...

"Vacaville Bill". Is he still around? It's been a long time since I've seen him. To the OP, Richard Chudy does quality cue work in the east bay - Walnut Creek, if I remember right.. .

Glad to see that room back in business.

14.1 in Encinitas??? You might have a better chance of finding Paul Revere riding at the Del Mar racetrack.
