Senor is correct. The Chavez being talked about is Ignacio Chavez. King Kong is Bernardo Chavez.

Freddy's last name is Ebrahimi.

Freddy is the sole reason that for the past 3 years I have been putting my balls in the tray when I play one pocket.

It was Chuck Altomare who beat Dennis Orcollo.

I like Matt, and I think he's a great player and an honest guy, but I too thought Ronnie was the favorite and told Matt in Hagerstown the week before when the match was set up over the phone. I don't know why people think Matt is better on the barbox. I guess it's just because most people see...

His name is Stevie Evans. He is from Pittsburgh. He does not have deep pockets himself, but has access to some people who do. He enjoys taking players on the road to find action. He plays fairly strong one pocket, but does not play much anymore.

glasscitypool, you apparently haven't talked to tommy yet because I took him to Matt's room in front royal, va, and tommy beat matt for several thousand even about four years ago. I highly doubt that matt will spot him.

Someone's gotta get Chris Bartram out to maryland to play Clatterbuck. I think that would be a good game.

How could anyone play anywhere BUT the Side Pocket. There's so much one pocket action and they're willing to bet big. I was just there for a couple days and I loved it. I think the Side Pocket is as nice a room as I've ever been to -- at least from a gambler/player perspective.

Jay, I only know a small, small fraction of what you know regarding pool, but I do know that Bob Ingersoll was not the same player as Bob "the Destroyer". Bob Ingersoll's nicknames were "soldier" and "Ingie". He was from Boston and he died in 1995 at the age of 79. Bob "the Destroyer's" last...

This is not an entirely true statement. While it maybe true that there is not a lot of action in Austin, James Davis Sr. and his son will gamble fairly high at one pocket and 9-ball and with players they don't necessarily know as well.

None of the old rooms are around in New York, New Jersey, or Philadelphia. The last old-style rooms in NYC were Chelsea Billiards in Manhattan and The Golden Cue in Queens -- both are now upscale clubs with different owners. In Philly, South Philly Billiards and the Boulevard were old-style...

You're wrong. Johnny Ervolino also poked at balls and ran lots of balls. His poke wasn't quite as bad as Hopkins', but close.

You're talking about Ellie Chang? You're not Chris N. are you?

I've played against and know quite a few women pros. The top 10 in general have the talent to run over 100 balls in straight pool. The women from 10th through 20th can probably run around 75. And the women from 21st through 40th in general have the talent to run around 50 balls. This is a...

Ron Justice was a hell of a 9-ball player, and still would be if he were playing. He was living in the DC area 3-5 years ago. I heard he ran into some personal problems and moved back home to Huntsville.

One of the great, great movers I've seen: Johnny Ervolino. there's a match of him beating Mike Sigel hill-hill from 1991.

Tim's last name is Heath

Who told you that?

I know the guy (who was a kid back then) who was working the desk at the poolroom where Barbara got shot that night. He told me that about a year later the guy who shot her was killed himself over a craps game.
