This was OHB right? So sorry to hear this!! I was wondering why he hadn't been posting, especially with all the great stories from Grady, Freddy and Jay. Rest in peace!

I got to see Bucktooth play one-handed and I was pretty impressed. I had also seen the Monk (Warren Costanza) play 1h one-handed before and I think Tooth was better. The Tooth could shoot shots pretty well off the rail and the Monk very seldom shot off the rail. I have to qualify this by...

Thanks Thanks! It's always nice to get some validation!

I don't think gambling has to hurt pool if it's done with some integrity. The problem with gambling in pool is when people with no integrity do it and you get all the ugly drama coming out of it. I love to watch two good players play for money and handle themselves as gentlemen. This is...

I was playing at a ph and laid my cue on the table while I went to the counter to get something to drink. An older guy had my cue and was shooting balls on my table. I couldn't believe it! I asked the guy, "What the Hell do you think you're doing?" He told me that he just wanted to try my...

Bucktooth would tell someone while he's playing him, "I'm going to get you a ticket on the Red Eye express to Omaho and you aint never comin' back!" I heard him woofing to Alex Pagulayan up in Reno and he told Alex, "I'm so old I only got half a heart and I can't see a lick even with these...

I got to see Cole play about 10 or 12 years ago at Bucktooth's place in Manteca Ca. My son and I walked in the place at about 9:30 in the morning on a Sunday. These two guys were playing so my son and I went over to watch them. There were beer bottles all flowing out of a medium sized garbage...

Willie and Breakup, Why don't you two break the $1,000 into parcels and play more than just one game? Play 14.1 for $250, 9b race to 13 for $250 and so on. At least this way you can play a little longer. One game of 14.1 could be over pretty quick if someone gets some rolls and is playing...

Nice run Icon! Stefano seems like he's a great guy! Looks like you had a lot of fun too! Thanks for sharing the video.

I agree with you 100% Absolutely. I don't understand why other people couldn't at least see that this was a good reason for Mrs Archer to have gotten a little upset albeit a little misguided. Some of the posters here seem to be bent upon punishing people for expressing any emotion especially...

I watched her play in Reno when she was in her prime and I was impressed. She didn't miss much and when the game depended on it, she didn't miss at all if my memory serves me.

I don't want to drag this out but I just have to say that I read her post and she wasn't that rude. I could definitely see her point too. Most of us here know that Scorpion is not JA. Btw, I'm sure the thread wasn't pulled because of her post. Someone must have gotten way out of line for...

Thanks Billychips for posting this!! Good luck! I sure hope you'll post some info on how the matches went and the results.

A ph in my area started becoming a hangout for kids. They weren't spending any money. The ph owner started charging them $5 on Friday and Saturday nights to get in. He gave them $5 worth of monopoly type money in exchange for their $5. They could spend that monopoly type money in his ph. He...

I think I'd forget about shooting at the 7 and try to put a couple of the stripes together to form a small cluster. If you hit the 7 at all, you'll probably free up the 13 and then it is over.

An interesting point At one of the big tournaments, I think it was the DCC last year, Efren listed his idol in pool as Jose Parica. Jose came to the US before Efren I believe.

I got a chance to talk to Jose Parica one time. I asked him if he'd ever matched up with Efren. He told me that he gets really tired of always being compared to Efren but more than that, he gets upset when Efren gets credit for things that Jose has done. Evidently this has happened quite a...

All I can say is a big TAP TAP TAP to this thread!!! The stories Jay, Grady and Freddy are sharing are PHENOMINAL!!

You tell em Yo I had the pleasure of watching Efren up in Reno at the Sands tournament on several different occasions. He was one of the only players that would stay up all night gambling, pool and the casino, and then play in the tournament and winning it. Earl Strickland, the player that...

If drugs were legal, i.e., you could purchase any drugs you want as long as you are 21 years old and have the money to pay for them, I do think that once you purchase drugs that are capable of impairing your judgment or altering your state of consciousness, that you should be placed in a...
