During the mid-90's, one of my friends who can play pool was in town for a couple of months. He wanted some action so out we went and got a lot of actions. In time we were running out of action so I started to ask around for some good players around and Cigar Tom's name came up. We went up to...

Are you referring to Tom Vanover aka Cigar Tom from Dundalk, Baltimore area? If so,I can give you some stories about him and a friend of mine who played him during the 90's.

:thumbup: : Leonardo Andam matched up against John Schmidt last Sunday evening at Diamond Billiards in Midlothian, VA. They agreed to do one set for one large since it was already late and people had to go work the next day. They traded games at the onset of the set. When the score got to...

Amang Parica And when everything is said and done, don't forget to say "Who's your daddy?" Go get it Amang... We're not getting any younger and you really deserve to win this tourney.

Amang Parica Yo da man, Amang!!! Congrats on winning a tight match.... We know you still got the right stuff.

You tell him, Walt!!!

Shane to loser side Brandon, That was really funny!!! hah, hah, hah By the way, nice cue!! Even Leonardo Andam was impressed when he held it..

Rack your own... It is the prevalent trend nowadays among these players. Each player racks their own; meaning if player A racks, player B just sits until it's his turn to shoot. This is a double edged technique, meaning when you rack you are assured you are getting a good rack while at the...

Warren Kiamco & Donnie Mills Night before last, Warren and Donnie Mills decided to try each other playing 9 balls even rack your own. I believe it was for 4 large, not sure but it's around that number. Anyways, rack your own proved to be Warren's downfall as Donnie was racking good and...

Van van corteza I like van van corteza in this match. Van van's pocketing is way too accurate for Chohan. My prediction is 11-6 Van van wins!!

Ronnie & Shane's match-up Well, looks like they finished what they started Saturday night! Anyways, Ronnie really wanted to play for big money but I guess Shane wasn't comfortable that night, and with good reasons. Ronnie is a "monster" in big money games. He can literally run out from...

Thanks for the support, Anito Kid. My man Dodong promises he'll be back in tip top form in no time at all. Years ago he terrorized the VA, MD, DC area. His focus right now is to place high in the Open and hopefully he can do it. I know he can do it.... You can't keep a good man down...

You are right, pare!!

We were at the Players Meeting Saturday night and we got to see some nice little actions among these players. Edwin Montal paired up against a young player from the Northeast for a thousand dollar set at the practice tables in the Convention Center that night. He was one set winner when we...

It would appear that an old stalwart is back in the Open. Good old Dodong is back and is playing in the Open. This dude is my dark horse!!! We know he will do some damage but what we don't know is how much? He is capable of beating champions after champions!!! You got the 8 for...

Me and Ramil might be in the area next week. Let's see how good he is. I hope he does not beg and cry for a spot. Embarassing for somebody who is looking for action. We will look him up!! bayawak aka tirador You got the 7 for life!!!!!

Yes, Yes, Yes,.... There goes your hero, dumb a--.. Why don't you get over to his corner and tell him that he is your hero? He's probably gonna smack you.. My hero... my a__!!! Ha, ha, ha......... bayawak aka tirador "You got the 6 for life,MTF!!!"

Thanks for the pics, gopi-1. Like i said, it's been a number of years since I saw him here in Virginia. But even after those years, the players who crossed his paths are still in awe of Dodong. They lost to him but the respect was there. They said that he had the smoothest stroke ever. And...

2007 Wpc Manila, Philippines Gopi-1, Thanks for the article that you posted.You are really an aficionado of the sport at the highest level. Wish I could be in Manila to watch the tournament, but, as luck would have it, my job precludes me from getting there at this time of the year. It...

Bval, I am an equal opportunity pool player. I give credit where credit is due.I liked Alcano and even put up a small wager, I lost, but I congratulated Shane after their match because I saw that he deserved to win that match. I can appreciate talent when I see it. Shane shot great under...
