I will never sell the Schon I am playing with now. It was my mentor's stick back in the day (early 90s). I bought it from him five years ago and never used it until my return to the game a month or so ago. I wish I could find a player so I could put it up again, though.

Since you are about to be broke for eighteen years at least, play Shadow Creek. And play most of your poker at Binion's, of course.

Of course you need the power break. If for no other reason, it is cool.

Thanks for the update! Tony Watson?

I will probably have to play on it in the future, as we like to practice together. If it doesn't drive me to quit the game again.:rolleyes:

An hour or so west of Asheville.

So Randolph's is every Sunday and the Newton tournament is next Sunday?

Wagon Wheel. I wish I could remember the owners name. Eugene Browning was someone I was going to ask about. The best on a bar box? Very likely.

Randolph's is a Sunday or Saturday tournament? 130 players? Wow! I'm not far away, I will have to come and check those out.

We happen to love our hick backward states just fine thank you.

That would be a good idea. But what is good ventilation? I used to go to Vegas. I never smelled like smoke. When I go to Harrah's Cherokee, I might as well be a cigarette. Where do you draw the line? Any good rooms in Hickory these days?

I hope so. That means I will be making some cash tomorrow!

This place has terrible ventilation. But being from NC, I hate the ban. I am not a smoker, but I don't like the ban at all. If I go to a bar/pool room, I expect to have to deal with it.

I went down to the local bar tonight to try and play some. There was no action there and the owners didn't want to give up the tables to those of us that wanted to play a little. They usually open the (coin op) tables for us. There is not a lot of action there anyway, so I started making calls...

Bucky Bell? I remember watching Joe Lawrence play Earl in Atlanta at Wagon Wheel. He beat him 13-2 or 3. Earl never had a chance. When Joe lost a game he threw the rack under the table. Earl got on to him for it and he said it didn't matter because he wouldn't need the rack again. He was...

I thought this thread would take off. Pete Horn from Chapel Hill NC? "Railroad" Joe Estes? Help me out guys!

Bump again. I can't wait!

The room that I play in NC refuses to honor the ban. I am about to open up a room and I am not sure what I will do.

Jay, I would love to hear some more Clarence "Bucky" Bell stories. That guy could flat play. He came to a B tournament at Wagonwheel in Atlanta one time. My last name is Bell, so he took an immediate liking to me. He wanted me to put him in the tournament and back him. Just by looking at...

I'm glad I am not the only one that thinks this way. I think rhythm is much more important in pool than a routine. A good player will do a lot of things consistently, yes, but not for every shot. Yes Allison is close, but even she varies a little.
