    DMIRO Tour News

    This is old, I didn't bring this to the forums - you did. I wasn't a part of the tour, so I have limited knowledge, but I do know you were supposed to be holding a portion of the year end money for a final event. That money was never deposited in the account as it was supposed to. If it was, it...

    how many amateur players @ valley forge last year?

    Yes Lyn this is pretty much correct. There is always speculation about this, and I appreciate your explanation. Entry in any of our events includes a 4-day pass to the expo, which is normally $35. Out of the $75 collected, $50 goes into the prize pool and usually a bit more. All of this money...

    figures... It figures I have to waste more time dealing with you, thanks Mike. I'm glad you've seen fit to now try and throw my dad under the bus for this. You are even more ignorant than I thought. Why don't you explain your plan correctly? My dad was brought on to add some credibility to...

    Pool player alive this cocky?

    My dad has told me some stories of how he used to walk into a poolroom in a new town and announce that "The best player in the world just walked in, who wants to play?" This was back in the 70's I believe, before he ever won any titles... get lots of action that way i suppose... no one ever...

    I met a man....

    I know this is not exactly the same thing, but I have the same name as my father, and have been surprised many times by the people that ask "are you related to...?" Of course, in the pool world it does not surprise me, but it has happened many times in places and situations I would not expect...

    Did Chalk-Off slow down your table?

    This may help to know: I have been told, by David Hodges - Inventor and manufacturer of Quick-Clean, that Chalk-Off is a blatant rip-off of his product. He told me the product formula was changed, it does not work as well, and is potentially dangerous to your health with repeated exposure (such...

    Alternate vs Winner Break on WPBA Tour?

    I believe rotate break is a more fair way to play, so that each opponent has a chance to get to the table. There are no other sports/games where each opponent does not get an equal opportunity. For example, what if only the winner got to serve in tennis? What if a baseball game one team never...

    Question someone here can answer...

    I believe we have the largest OPEN Amateur event in the World. There are bigger amateur events in the various National Leagues, but as far as a purely open event - no handicapping, no teams, no league affiliations, no requirements - I believe our event is the largest. I am curious about this as...

    Mike Andrews...

    I don't know why Mike has not simply answered this question for you JAM, so I will fill you in. Mike is a pool player and enthusiast who had a good idea for a tour. He met my father at some event over the last year, maybe in Valley Forge - I'm not sure. He explained his idea to my dad, and they...

    My new pool movie is climbing the charts on Youtube.

    Very cool production... I've seen Venom on youtube before, I guess maybe you produced those as well? Amazing talent and fun to watch... I really like the choice of music accompanying these videos too, adds a nice touch of suspense... Good luck with the vid!

    Responce to Jerry Forsyth Article

    Does the fact that Stu Ungar was a drug addict who consistently battled with with his inner demons hurt poker? No. Does the fact the Doyle Brunson is known to have sat in back room games with notorious drug dealers and criminals hurt it's image? No. Do corporate sponsors avoid football because...

    Responce to Jerry Forsyth Article

    Very well said. Truth is, unfortunately, not very many people are making a "living" playing pool, if you take gambling out of the question. Of course, if your idea of making a "living" is sharing rides to tournaments far away, rooming with 3 of your friends with 2 double beds, and winning enough...

    Should women be allowed to compete in US Open 9 Ball Championship?

    Just so you know, the Professional Players Championship hosted at the Super Billiards Expo is open to anyone, male or female. We have never had a woman sign up to play, and I know the tournament is not as big as the US Open, but it is well attended and played in front of a large audience. The...
