I remember getting into a five handed ring game with him in it. The game was $20 a man in the sixties at a bar in Rosemead CA. The location was Garvy and Rosemead and the place was called the Blue Star, big action joint at that time. I remember being down about $300 before I finally got a shot...

John is such a funny guy. At the end while the ref is racking the last rack john walks behind the ref and jokes at pulling on the back of his suspenders.

I just like to kick up a little dust sometimes.

The Peter Gunn I remember playing was a black man back in the sixties in Southern California. Pretty straight shooter. Maybe about 80 years old if he's still around.

Put it out there and let it rip Freddy

Is there any league or tournaments that allows a player to lay his or her cue stick on the playing surface of the table to line up a shot? If so, could it be their jump or break cue or does it have to be their playing cue? I'm asking because there are a number of kicking and banking systems that...

I too had the pleasure of meeting KK9 and playing a few games with him. I think it was Breakers in Greensboro. My visit was a bit short so I didn't have the pleasure of going out to dinner with him Maybe on my next visit. Of course if he and Pinklady visit my area, pool and dinner it will be...

It tells me you're sandbagging.

Shortly after the shot someone in the crowd asks "who farted". LOL

On one rail kicks I use about a tip above center and on multiple rail kicks I use running English and a little above center. If I'm kicking to hit the object ball hard and going one rail ball, then I adjust and hit the cue ball low and aim a bit longer on the rail because it will shorten up. I...

Wow! Who put Shane on the loser side.

Coaching has never been allowed in any game unless agreed upon before starting the match. Especially in a game like one pocket where it could make a lot of difference. However IMO a slew of coaches wouldn't help John in this match. JB just missed too many balls. Had he made half of the balls...

He was waiting for his sideman to cover all the side bets on making this shot before shooting. I like this guy.

Great to hear that the big show is finally ready to start. Got my popcorn ready and I'm wondering who will be singing the star spangled banner?

Good advice. I always do that. Better safe than sorry. I've seen that happen a few times where the ball loops around the bottom of the pocket and climbs out.

Personally I liked playing with my own money, but only because I didn't like giving some of my winnings away. When I was backed it was because the game was set up for me by the backer. For me it didn't matter if it was my own or your money. Either way you got my best game. It never matter to me...

Better yet, straight to cell phone.

I don't think this will be a CSI event. So you should Rodney in there.

The OP said they were some old timers. Well then you need to cut them a little slack. Sometimes we forget what's going on.

Well when Corey starts breaking using the bridge then we should all worry. Oh wait, I think he's done that already.
