There is no more BCA Open 9 Ball. It was changed into the enjoypool.com 9 Ball Championship, but the BCA killed that also. The BCA does not put a whole lot of effort into producing pro men's tournaments. Sad representation from our "governing body of pool". The suits at the BCA even mused over...

I agree with these good points you make.

I won't say the word "Dummy", I'll just write it :) ???????????????????????????????????????????? Are you being serious? Surely you jest. Let me give you just one example out of a couple of quintillion reasons you are wrong..... Ask any pool room owner this question.....If he could have...

Big Perm read my mind Big Perm, You read my mind on your post. Very well said. Dennis, I posted somewhere else that it's very unfair to "blame" anyone who was trying their best. Honestly, I feel kind of sad for someone who does try so hard and the results were less than you expected. That's...

I'm among the biggest Earl fans on these forums. Over the years, NOBODY on any team USA did as much FOR good ol' USA than Earl did. His mere presence rallied the USA members and rattled the European players. The point I would like to make is I wonder how Archer would like it if someday, years...

Right. +1. I may be tempted to add the word 'just" between the words "year" and "to". I'm sorry he decided not to post here or hang out w/ us peeps here. Hatch got what he wanted when he was selected for the USA team and he was under no obligation to stick around after the decision was...

Awesome Sherm, Thanks for honoring Gary like you do. Your post not only showed more about what Gary was about, it also shows the loyalness and love that make you the man that you are. God bless you buddy.

Cuesmith Sherm Adamson & Gary Spaeth were best buds & road pals. He probably knows about Gary as anybody that posts here. My bet is, even more than anybody else here. If you do a search on Gary Spaeth here & at 1Pocket.org, you'll get some good stories and insightful info. My opinion is that...

Exactly Very good post Spidey. TK, in addition to winning the U.S. Open, is also a first rate family man, one of the absolute nicest pros EVER and totally humble, even though he's a national class shooter. He also promoted multiple tournaments. But some of those accolades are testimony to...

Grady, You never cease to entertain us! :D Get well soon and all the very best!

Whole heartedly agree. His creativity is up near Efren-like.

Model for success CiC, Just wanted to say that what you posted is great to hear. The week before he bought the place, John called & wanted to know if we were available for dinner and to see the former S Bridge Billiards. Him, Dick Clark (D C 6 Pocket...another great & fun guy) myself and my...

Raincheck BC, My wife & I stopped by last Monday at 11:45 AM but it was too early. Sorry to say that we won't be able to attend the grand opening this Saturday. One of then best players of this generation and one of the nicest men to have ever opened a pool room lives only about 45 minutes...

It's open at 1:00 PM on Saurdays & Sundays, 3:00 PM rest of the week. It closes at "....to close"

Sequels In your next book! (That's a hint by the way).:) The peeps NEED, dare I say "are clammoring for", another book from the author of "Pool Wars". Here's a link if you're interested..... http://www.jayhelfert.com/about.php :)

Me too. Nick's post was funny. :D

Oh man! I went back & read the CORRECTED version and I still got numbers wrong! Let's just say that Mr. Hitchcock is dead and may he R.I.P. Mumma-mia! Good thing I'm not a bookie! I posted before somewhere here or over at OnePocket.org that I got D-'s in algebra in 12th grade from Mrs...

Correction I put in 1986 instead of 2006. He died on Aug 24, 2006 at the age of 77. The info re: Buddy's book is still accurate. Thanks for bearing with me everybody!:)

You're right. He died in 2006 at the age of 77. I typed in 1986 in what is either the mother of all AZB typos or else it's a clear sign that I'm getting dementia. Thank you for cathing that. In lieu of me going back and editing my original post, I'll just repost the correct dates in the post...

Mr. Hitchcock died on Aug 24, 1986 at the age of 77. Also, in Buddy Hall's biography there are several accounts of him vs Buddy.
