C'mon, some find it entertaining. I mean, who in their right mind goes through so much trouble to fabricate a story, trying to get everyone's admiration and adoration? Sam might be AZB's latest "Real Housewife of AZ Billiards". Too funny, lol. Eric

I hope you continue posting, Sam :smile: Eric

Eh. I think most everyone on AZB figured this kid out a long time ago. You and I basically said what everyone wanted to. Eric

Save your breath, Scott. This whole circus was a joke from the start. Who burns out from playing Pool in their first 7-8 months?? If anything, the whole look at me routine seems like just an elaborate, narcissistic ego boost. You know, "look how talented I am to play at this level after...

Sounds like Sam went through the same progression, struggles and plateaus everyone on this site has. Now Sam understands too. Eric

Sad news, indeed. Ron was a good man. A little bit of a curmudgeon, lol, but a good guy none the less. The last time I saw/talked to Ron was at a tourney in PA that we were playing in, about 2 years ago. I don't think he was sick, at the time and was spending time between south Jersey and...

SPetty!! Eric >talk about MIA

You sure it wasn't the summer of '69? Eric

Honestly, I think this is more like the "chicken or the egg" thing. 've seen the Earl show for many years too. I've gone to the US Open and sat in the stands for mroe than the last decade (RIP, Barry) and one interesting observation I've had from the crowd, there, was that each year there...

I think I was watching this match too. I can't remember, but I definitely was at the US Open. I would usually get there Thursday. I'm pretty sure this match was 2003, I'd have to check my photos from that year. Eric

Hahah! Assuming these games were "even", you would think Mika would know most players that were near his level... Wait! Is Los Angeles located in the Phillipines?? Eric

Hahah, lol. I've got a similar story. Actually, its Steve Lipsky's story but I consider him a friend, so I hope he doesn't mind me re-telling it. Apparently, Steve was in a bar, with a bar table, with two friends. Supposedly, it was a similar situation where the local Pool badass was showing...

Amen, OCD. The safest place might be the home pool table. There, you are in familiar settings, its cozy, no strangers and you know that there is only ONE nutjob in the place :wink: Eric

Not to mention, an AZB front page article written by the WPA Eric >but who's counting

Lol...who got laid and where?? Eric

Some loved him, some hated him qnd some had a love-hate relationship with him. I'll miss him, for sure. Ive gone to the US Open with a group of friends, every year, for more than a decade. Things are gonna be different. Godspeed, Barry. Eric

Or, heresy. Eric >hearsay

2001 might have been Corey's best year. That year, at the US Open, Corey beat Mika 11-0 in the finals. They were using the Sardo rack, tapped in balls and Corey was soft breaking to perfection. In a past conversatoon with Mika, I got the impression that this was his bitter-est loss. Eric

Thanks, Allen & staff. Been going since '95 and have more good times than complaints. Eric
