    Mezz West at Hard Times Sacramento

    Got lucky and did not draw any monsters and snuck into the $$ and got my entry fee back. Had one break and run all tournament but it was when I was on the hill in a close one. Dogged a few chances on the winners side to go farther, but I played like I usually play. Not going to make any big...

    Mezz West at Hard Times Sacramento

    Rodney Morris defeats Oscar Dominguez in the finals in a 115 player field. Mika 3rd and Amar Kang 4th. Great tournament. Rodney caught a gear and was unbeatable the last several matches. Might have been the Mooses Billiard shoes he and Mika were wearing. Check them out on Mika's Facebook...

    Mezz West State stream??

    I also support Daniel and POV but the last Mezz West at Hard Times Sacramento was streamed by Hard Times, who has a permanent streaming setup with fixed cameras. Mezz West puts on several events and if they can find a way to put a little more $$ in the tour and hopefully, some in their own...

    Diamond Recover job

    Table Beautiful table Jay. I played on an old Diamond at the Down Low in Chico that Glen had rebuilt and it is the best playing table in Northern California IMO. He also has rebuilt a few Gold Crowns up there at a room called the Oasis and put a similar leveling system on them that Diamond...

    Is Chicago Bad Action Town?

    Chicago I always had good luck there.:grin-square: Would like to go back if we could put something together again before I get too old. Awesome food there when you are not playing pool.

    Oscar/Justin Updates Day 2

    Oscar has a lot on the table besides just playing $$ pool. He helps run the Mezz West Tour in the western states and they are starting up their second season later this month with eleven tour dates. It's a credit to him he fits as many action matches in as he does, but he does love to play.

    What's your Pool Nickname?

    Nickname I have had many, When I started traveling around the Los Angeles area a bit in the 60's, My home room was San Gabriel Bowling Alley which had a pool room in it as many bowling establishments did in those days. Whenever I see some of the old guys around Bellflower they still call me San...

    Final at Jointed Cue Reunion Tournament ?

    Final four were Edgie Geronimo, Amar Kang, Jaynard ? & Chong Vang. I thought Vilmos would get in there when he put down a five pack Saturday, but he finished 5/6th. I know Tommy Soria was up there too. I missed the rest.

    Chohan vs smith updates

    I doubt they would adjust that much. Maybe to 9/8 or 9/8 on Danny's break. It would not take much of a change in the game to turn things around the other way.

    Making a Fair Game

    Action If you are a known action guy and offer up a game, even a bad one for you, many will figure you have an angle and turn you down. You also are probably giving odds on the $$ because if you like action, you will fire a few more barrels than most that you play against. If you play in a...

    Scott Frost Wins Andy Mercer at Rum Runner

    Scott won the hot seat over Jason Klatt and beat Joven Bustamante to win it. Klatt 3rd and I believe Mike Massey, who had a great tournament, was 4th. SVB, who has won this long running bar table event several times was 5th/6th. Streamed by POV, this race to six double elimination nine ball...

    "Old Timers" mad Respect, tell us more!!

    It's been over 30 years and I was hanging around California Billiards in San Jose and things were slow in the late summer, so Poker Paul and I took a road trip in his new black Camaro. My best game in those days was golf on a snooker table and Paul had been on a trip a few years earlier with...

    Lewis Jones aka ironman has passed away.

    Lewis I never met Lewis in person, but he and I used to communicate and laugh at Ronnie Allen's bite stories from time to time. We both had a soft spot for Ronnie over the years. Lewis had one of the best ones. Ronnie called him and said 'You are not going to believe this, but I was driving...

    Keith McCready story

    Keith and Tracy Joe I am sure Keith and Joe played at a few rooms before Joe gave up on him. I saw them play at the original Hard Times is Costa Mesa a time or two. That was Keith's main hangout when he started playing like a monster and his main stake horse at the time, Charlie The Ape hung...

    Cue: wood and balance

    Extension Try one of the extensions that fit between the shaft and butt. I use one that is 2 1/2 " long and weighs 1oz. Made of ebony it adds length and forward balance to your existing cue with a minimum of weight added. I got mine from newsherrifintown on here for $50. Best results for the...

    US Open 10 ball & 8 ball is Back!

    It isn't the traditional 2 foul rule. It's ball in hand after any missed shot following a push out. I push out and you don't like the shot. I do not pocket the ball and you get ball in hand. Same thing if you take the shot after the push out and miss, I get ball in hand. I believe Greg's...

    US Open 10 ball & 8 ball is Back!

    Greg Sullivan is considering some changes in 9 ball at Derby City and I think would appreciate any feedback on this idea. Roll out at any time during the game. If whoever takes the shot after the rollout misses the shot, it is ball in hand for the opposing player. This would eliminate lucky...
