Man that is stand up and greatly appreciated. If you ever decide to convert to DVD I'll still buy it. Thanks again. Amazing what AZ'ers do.

Those of you from So. Calif should check the list that Ron posted of run outs after a good break. Top of the list is none other than Danny Kuykendall of Danny K's in Orange County.

A big "welcome" to you Ron. Watched you a bunch of time at Hard Times and other rooms as well as the Bicycle Club in Bell Gardens. At one time you played with the prettiest Schon I had ever seen. Nice to see you posting as you were a strong player in an era of real strong players. You were intense.

Welcome back. If wasn't against my "religion" to travel on Holidays I would swing by. It is a good, well run room. Instead I'll just tune in.

There was way more action and general pool activity before the advent of so many Casinos that siphoned off the compulsive gamblers that made up the action. That along with the inability or lack of foresight to actively court younger players has dampened the enthusiasm and excitement for the sport.

As efficient as they run these tournaments they always end sometime Monday mornings. As much as Oscar has to do at the Mezz Tournaments, setting up and making sure that things run smoothly, commentating, it is amazing how strong he plays and is always in the money. Has to be exhausting.

Musings at 4AM. Only in the world's of pool and jazz would you get such prompt replies from fellow travelers.

Great learning experience for Amar. Perfect example of not being able to trust ones fundamentals enough. Amar had 8 or 9 games and couldn't pull the trigger on the break! He must have raised up at least 3 times before he could break. And thus it began. We have all been there before. We stop...

I can't push. The shot I saw immediately was thinning the one and parking the CB behind the 5

That pretty much sums it up. There is a respected cue maker whose name shows up consistently and yet having hit with 7 of his cues I would not purchase one his cues. Playability is more important to me than aesthetics. Yet I also know that my favorite playing cue is not appreciated by all. I...

I'm shooting with a cue made by JoeyInCali (Bautista) that has no weight bolt. In fact the only metal in the cue are the brass rings as the pin is a radial G-10. He achieved my desired weight and balance while making the cue. I, personally, don't understand why a player would want to keep...

Oscar is playing strong with a lot of confidence. He is solid! 1st time seeing Oliver and he is impressive. Could use a tad more endurance but is understandable as he has a regular day job. Another Pinoy out of the woodwork. What a pipeline they have.

Martin, if you ever run across a Burgundy let me know. Joey had one but he used it before I could put a hold on it. LOVE the feel of the "Roo." It is special.

I read an English translation of a newspaper article about the tragedy of Boy Bicol. Chilling. Jay can you confirm?

There is a group of movies that shouldn't be remade like Casablanca, The Godfather along with several others and I think that the Hustler is one of those. Too many iconic actors and characters to be ever duplicated. Some details might be improved upon but not the actors portraying the characters.

I remember seeing Greg in the L.A. area in the mid 90's. It was either at the Bicycle Club or Hollywood Park. Glad to read that he is doing OK.

"Jackwagons" are part of our Society. Martin said his piece and dropped it. Exact details, as has been said, are unknown. Martin has always been straight with me and with those I know in all dealings. But Lord is his 1 Hole game slow!

That pretty well sums it up. Very few, only the very top tier of cue makers, get the money they really deserve and some of them are getting paid mainly for the aesthetics. There are far more cue makers out there who are meticulous artisans who will never command the money for the time, money...

I'm so very lucky that Efren and the other Filipino's chose Hard Times as their home away from home for so many years. What a lucky experience for me to have been able to watch him all of those years playing for the love of it while giving people 15/3 and other crazy spots just to be playing...

While I was posting Efren wins. Tickles the, you know what, out of me. Damn, it is nice to be "Lucky."
